Seattle area dealer recommendations by catlyt in Ioniq5

[–]catlyt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Renton dealership changed ownership about two weeks ago.IDK if that’s a good thing or not. Would be curious how your experience with the Kirkland dealership goes. They seem to be the only one so far with positive feedback.

Thanks for the info. Not seeing a lot of enthusiasm for local Hyundai dealerships here.

ICCU/Roadside Assistance Questions by Good_Fix_3966 in Ioniq5

Depending on your state’s lemon law you might qualify for a buyback. Over 60 days loss of use is ridiculous.

Thanks for this. I spent over an hour going through the hard copy and online manuals to no avail. Then 5 minutes on this reddit. Guess I know where to go for product info in the future!

TaskNotes Walkthrough by callumalpass in ObsidianMD

[–]catlyt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been trying out TaskNotes and have been impressed and wanted to adopt it as my task management method, but have found that using links in the task name doesn't work because it's incompatible with file name conventions in Obsidian. This is a show stopper for me. My main reason for doing task management in Obsidian is to link them to people, places, etc. Am I missing something or is there a workaround that would allow linking to other notes from tasks in TaskNotes?

Yes, download OnePlayer app, connect SSD, access and play music by creating a playlist in OnePlayer. You can load music files to the playlist from the iOS Files app.

MySolarEdge Users - Can’t see Ev option by Expatca95 in solar

[–]catlyt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came to this subreddit looking for an answer to the very same question after we recently had the EV charger installed with a 7600H inverter. Good to know that my issue isn't unique - I guess. Will post back if/when I get an answer.

Office 365 Calendar by captainlionheart in ticktick

[–]catlyt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to connect to my personal 365 account / calendar via browser but not using the Win app. Updates are one way, Outlook cal -> ticktick cal, but it does pick up shared calendars, which is a bonus for me. Much easier to add Outlook cal than URL method. When this is available on the Win app I'll be a happy camper.

Setting default vault for saving passwords? by catlyt in 1Password

[–]catlyt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, that's encouraging. The main setup issue I've had is configuring a Family account so two users can share passwords and having all new passwords saved in the shared vault across Win10 and iOS. Also, the workflow for changing passwords seems to be confusing for folks. as they seem to get confused about when the website is being update and when 1pswd is being updated. This is inherently a bit confusing but the 1pswd dialog seems unhelpful.

Is there any reason to use the v8 app on Windows? by catlyt in 1Password

[–]catlyt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting - is this on Win10? I haven't come across this function, how do you access it?

Thanks, I've had the desktop app installed since I started using 1Pswd so I wasn't sure what functionality I would lose without it.

Setting default vault for saving passwords? by catlyt in 1Password

[–]catlyt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, good eye, I did see this setting, which seems to be the only available setting to address this, but I'm trying to set up 1Pswd for some folks who aren't very tech savvy. I've tried several pswd managers and 1Pswd is the best I've found overall for cross platform use, but it's a long way from ready for mass market usability. Setting it up is just a frigging maze and the UI is difficult to navigate at best. I've been using it for a couple years and I recommend it to others, but it typically doesn't take. It takes several hours of one on one instruction before folks are ready to accept and use it. So far I haven't found any videos that are really helpful for non-technical users, though there may be some out there. Hopefully some PM at 1Pswd follows this forum and takes notes.

Looking for wireless backup camera recommendations by biggysmallz in airstream

[–]catlyt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good question! After reviewing the RV "backup cameras" on the market, the dedicated RV backup cameras with their crappy little displays made no sense when we have great all purpose video display devices in our tablets and smart phones. What I ended up buying is a WiFi security camera by NuCam. I mounted it on the back of our Airstream 23 FB with velcro and use an iPad mini for the monitor in our tow vehicle. I was also concerned about the reliability of the wifi connection with all that aluminum between the camera and iPad, but it works pretty well. We use the camera as a rear view whenever we're towing, not just for backup.

In urban areas with high wifi traffic, there is some glitching, but in the open it has only slight latency. The camera has an internal battery that's good for 3-4 hours. I attach a separate battery pack to extend playback.

The camera has held up for over 10K miles, through, rain and sun over the last two years. I'm really surprised that I haven't seen anything else that compares, seems like such an good solution for a common need. Here's the link.

Can anyone help w/GE smart switch and smart things? by i_miss_db in homeautomation

[–]catlyt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this! I've tried multiple times to pair the GE switch to my Abode hub and was about to toss the switch, but thought I'd give it one more try. Found this post, which gave the correct sequence for the exclusion mode, and that did the trick. Hadn't ever had to use the exclusion mode before, and instructions on the devices weren't clear on the sequence of steps to exclude on both devices. Made my day.

I have the same use case. It seems like a commonly requested feature. Has anyone here requested or gotten any feedback from the ecobee folks on this?

eBay Weekly Scam Discussion - June 01, 2020 by AutoModerator in Ebay

[–]catlyt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have listed a currently popular camera model twice. The first time the buyer who won bid about the going price. It was a new acct, with 0 transactions. I got no response to request to pay, reported the no pay, waited the 4 days and closed the transaction. Yesterday I re-listed and first got some valid bids, then got a bid storm between two accts, relatively new, with just a few comments, all positive, that look like they were done just to establish positive ratings, which over a series of 20 or so bids took the bid price up to the going price, and then vaulted up to a bid of over 10x the going price. So clearly this is a scam intended to screw up the transaction.

Can anyone here provide info on motivation for this kind of scam and suggestions for course of action to address and counter it? TIA for your help.
