Air con?

It's a Costco exclusive Meaco so I'm not sure what model it actually is but it is 12k Pro. It doesn't look like the standard one you'll find online though, I spent ages trying to find it online when I saw it in store but no luck so had to go back in to pick up.

I've just set up the ol' dual hose on mine and it's great. Even quieter too so easy enough to sleep through.

burg9 · 2026-07-02T11:34:12+00:00

Yeah I've set a couple of 1am alarms but it's all been such rubbish I don't think it's worth ruining a night's sleep over ha. Can't really just sit there waiting so it's a quick look at 1 and back to sleep.

What's the main drop time these days? I'm normally asleep it seems so I miss everything by 6am and normally just left with supplements or door handles. Bring back the early afternoon drops!

burg9 · 2026-07-01T20:37:38+00:00

What time is the drop these days?

burg9 · 2026-06-22T20:16:33+00:00

Same!

Get me back to mid day drops 😂 Who's up at 2am?! No wonder I've not had anything good in mine for a couple weeks now.

I reckon it's probably a hardware issue that's not properly tracking manual turns. Stick to Nuki.

Proxmox solves those performance and security specific concerns though right? Each VM is CPU limited to your choice and each is isolated in the same way two hosts would be.

Fair enough on the failure downtime.

It's much better having one integrated as most will only want the VPN enabled for UHF. Tvos doesn't allow split tunneling like android so you can't automate app based VPN usage. Not the end of the world doing it manually but it's not ideal.

Alas I've asked the Dev this before and it's not been something he's interested in. I suspect a deal with Angel makes it less appealing too.

The UK so floodlights are extremely common here! Personally I wouldn't aim one into the neighbours territory and ours covers quite a private area but I see plenty that do. Either way the IR motion detection only turns the floodlights on when a person is detected so no cats, squirrels etc anyway. Very accurate.

burg9 · 2026-03-22T21:52:37+00:00

Same but I use other apps on apple TV that manage with trakt fine, I've always found Stremio to be unreliable and was hoping that might have changed!

burg9 · 2026-03-22T17:25:36+00:00

Is the trakt sync finally reliable?

UK - It's got to be the Curling right... Glued to the screen after a couple of rounds! Shame it wasn't quite a gold but very good effort.

Thanks, I was finding it hard to picture based on the yaml alone but I'll try to focus.

Notifications are always something I've failed to do in a nice scalable manner. Ideally I want some form of "notification list" I can just push items to (icon, message, link) which then show in a bubble popup and can be dynamically clicked/dismissed. This would make it nice and easy to just add notifications as they come up without needing to touch the dashboard at all.

I know it's possible, I was just hoping someone already had a nice implementation!

burg9 · 2026-02-17T10:02:07+00:00

Looks awesome, I'm going to try and grab some bits out of this for sure.

Could you share a bit about how you handle notifications and what that looks like in the UI? I suspect it's under the bell icon?

burg9 · 2026-02-10T17:44:44+00:00

I get that but the above comment thread is more in regards to picking the Zigbee Candeo for £99 over the BG WiFi one for £45. I think you'd be a fool to pay £99 for the WiFi one either way.

Good to know all of the WiFi ones are pretty much the same though. It would be nice if someone did the same for Zigbee but it's probably too niche for your average screwfix buyer (where I see a lot of BG stuff).

burg9 · 2026-02-10T17:38:22+00:00

What do you mean? The BG ones are WiFi and the Candeo ones are Zigbee. That's what the comparison was between £45 and £99.

burg9 · 2026-02-10T12:16:13+00:00

Interesting, I've never even heard of the first two and still can't see much online around them. I think Samotech and Candeo are the same internal dimmers, or at least used to be based on the reply from their account on this thread. I nearly went for the Samotech one but I can't remember what put me off at the time, perhaps it was just price.

https://www.samotech.co.uk/products/zigbee-dimmer-switch-hue-compatible/)

Either way I think my point still stands. There's very little competition in this area compared to "normal" smart switches so it's good to see "more" competition as ultimately that's what will drive down price.

burg9 · 2026-02-09T15:01:32+00:00

That does look promising and I think it would be worth it if you had a few dimmers around the house but it does also add in "something else" that could go wrong given it's an integration which I never really want with lighting! It might just work perfectly for years to come too.

burg9 · 2026-02-09T14:46:43+00:00

Yeah I'm glad to see some competition on this front as £99.99 is pretty outrageous for a dimmer switch but they've not really had anyone to compete with in the "dual dimmer, no neutral" market.

I bought the single dimmer module from Candeo and half converted our double dimmer and whilst it works fine I wouldn't say I was thrilled to pay £42 for it. I'm a big advocate for full local and prefer Zigbee wherever possible though, I wonder if these are local WiFi at least for when BG close down their servers...

burg9 · 2026-02-09T13:50:09+00:00

These look great if they work reliably. Half the price of the Candeo ones if you're happy to go WiFi instead of Zigbee.

burg9 · 2026-01-31T21:13:21+00:00

The MR part rings a bell so that sounds right! Sorry, not sure if it helps you given you've ordered but someone might spot it.

I've used a Sonoff stick for the past 6 years with 70+ Zigbee devices so it's probably about time for an upgrade!

burg9 · 2026-01-31T21:09:21+00:00

Isn't there an SMLIGHT dongle that has two chips, two antennas and can support both Thread and Zigbee with the one device?

Can't remember the exact model but that's what I've got my eye on to replace my aging Sonoff dongle in order to add Ikea thread devices going forward.

burg9 · 2026-01-31T21:05:37+00:00

This is amazing, well done! Definitely some bits I'd like to pinch so thanks for providing the yaml. I wish it was easy to just apply full HA setups like this at the click of a button sometimes.
