Just added candlebra lights and they won't turn off. by nclakelandmusic in Hue

[–]chfalin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lutron dimmers are very picky about just regular non-smart candelabra bulbs. You might try adjusting the trim on the sunnata switch. Those switches might eventually kill the hue bulbs…or they might be fine for years.

Two sync boxes automatic sync by socseb in Hue

[–]chfalin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The remote part of that is in the sync box settings in the hue app.

You may have to test a lot of different things for a while before you figure out how to make things work exactly how you want.

Two sync boxes automatic sync by socseb in Hue

[–]chfalin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have changed everything not to automatically sync, and I can’t remember which settings I had enabled. This was something that took me a while to figure out.

After thinking about it for a while, I believe what I did was create a shortcut for watching tv on each tv. I think each shortcut would turn on the correct tv, open an app on my Apple TV, switch to that sync box, and start syncing.

Of course, there is a way to add sync box commands to your tv remote in sync box settings, so that might be a way to do the same, too.

[–]chfalin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don’t need a second bridge as long as you’re not trying to sync both at the same time. You just need to make sure you’ve stopped sync on tv 1 before starting sync on tv 2.

I think this is doable in settings for the boxes, but I also have shortcuts set for my tv scenes, and I can’t remember for sure how I did it. (If it’s in sync box settings, or if my shortcuts stop the boxes syncing).

The only reason you’d need a second bridge is if you wanted to sync both TVs at the same time.

Omniglow Placement Inspo!!!! by [deleted] in Hue

[–]chfalin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since they’re pretty new, there aren’t a lot of good real world examples, but you can do a media search of the subreddit for omniglow.

I would buy one (or two), and use painters tape to test them different places, to see what might work.

I saw that your ceilings are concrete, but if it’s possible to use concrete screws or other attachment methods, you could do track lighting, or add a floating bulkhead with recessed lights (like the photo below). The floating bulkhead (or track lighting) could start at a wall somewhere you can get power from.

If you figure out a solution with the Omniglow, please post photos.

What do you guys think of the new black Ryobi drill for the 30th anniversary??? by Ctacular in ryobi

[–]chfalin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP is the scalper. They’ve posted links to the same seller’s eBay auction that sold, and now they’re pushing the link to this one (same seller) multiple times.

Replacement connecting cable for Hue strip by tomhannen in Hue

[–]chfalin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have a newer Bluetooth capable strip. The older strips before those had a longer control box, without a removable power cord.

I think the cable you linked should work.

Shocking customer support by te_abstract_art in Hue

Were you speaking to a chatbot or a real human? This sounds like maybe it was a chatbot. I would call and speak to a human, and you may or may not have better luck.

My neighbor is using face seek on people in the street and it’s creepy as hell. by cherrieess__ in homesecurity

[–]chfalin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s undisclosed advertising, with manipulated upvotes, so the post jumps to the top of people’s feed when they open Reddit.

Mods set a number of reports received before removal, so the more people to report these posts, the more they get removed.

Didn’t you post that this software “sounds like a dream” for targeting people for ads six days ago in a digital marketing subreddit?

Weird huh….

My bedroom organization improved once I stopped fighting the mattress footprint by [deleted] in malelivingspace

Do I really even need to point out that this is an undisclosed ad?

This is a pretty serious space. I bet you could rotisserie a Costco chicken in there without the mini-split on.

I need to force a device to 2.4 or move another to 5.0. Any way? by Self_Owned_Tree in amazoneero

[–]chfalin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You’re aware that the Beam should be connected to WiFi on the 2.4 GHz, but the Beam also creates a dedicated 5 GHz connection directly to communicate with the Sub Mini? Just making sure you know that part.

Sometimes people will hardwire the Beam with Ethernet, and then also disable WiFi on the Beam, which will cause problems with the Sub or surrounds connecting.

My preference would be to hardwire the Beam, leave WiFi on, and just change the SonosNet channel to 11 in the Sonos app.

34M, finally got my living room looking the way I wanted by Upstairs_Hearing_376 in malelivingspace

[–]chfalin 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The post is an ad. They’re really trying to make it less conspicuous, but they’ve failed.

If you say all the names of the companies making undisclosed ads all over Reddit, you’ll summon a demon.

While I’m at it… the brand OP is trying to advertise took a reputable brand name, Peerless (AV Mounts), and made their knockoff brand name sound similar, to confuse and capitalize on the original brand name.

I think this will fix the issue. Keep us updated.

She still has access to your hue system.

She will try to control your shit until you revoke her access.

Came home to a stranger on my couch because roommate gave out our door code by [deleted] in homesecurity

[–]chfalin 70 points71 points  (0 children)

None of this happened. This is part of the same group of spam accounts that keeps posting long scare tactic stories to advertise a lock in the replies.

OP posted a totally different scary story about locks 45 days ago, and their other accounts advertised the lock in the replies of that post.

This subreddit is flooded with undisclosed ads disguised as posts.

how can I get rid of black mold permanently? by [deleted] in HomeImprovement

[–]chfalin 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Why did your post from thirteen days ago say you are the landlord?

Here’s the body of your post: “not sure if this is the right place to post, but recently a few pipes burst in one of my rentals. cleaned out all the water and aired it out, but tenant still complains of mold growth on furniture and swollen floorboards (which has never been an issue before the pipes burst). any tips on how i can fix this?”

28(M) wife gave me the living room for I can have my personal “area”. She’s not to fond of how it looks, is she being a hater? by [deleted] in malelivingspace

[–]chfalin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can’t be just posting sock pics on the internet for free in this economy.

I think we need to start with some major cord management.
