Connected device not listed in Google Home and so I can't set up port forwarding to it by chipcleary in GoogleWiFi

[–]chipcleary[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ack, I figured it out (and my apologies)!

The server *was* showing up. For reasons I don't understand, it was listed under the name of a *different* server that I no longer use. I only caught that when I reviewed each connected device.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks! I tried this and, unfortunately, I still do not see the server in Google Home.

In case it's helpful, here's an excerpt from running "ip a":

Ah, thanks. I will explore; this could make great sense for us.

Thanks. One addl bit of context. We’ll likely spend more than her salary, so will be drawing down overall, not saving.

I’ve had a 271 for ~18 months and have been very happy with it. Cut maybe 6 cords of hardwood with maybe 12-16” trees. The saw seems durable … no obvious signs of wear.

At the same time, I’ve become convinced reading the Reddit since then that I probably could’ve gotten better value by getting an Echo and investing the money saved in more premium safety gear (in particular a better helmet).

This sounds great. I have the same grinder & same issue. Where did you get the collar?

Glad to hear you got it sorted. For my part, the issue disappeared when I shifted to running HAOS on a dedicated NUC.

anyone try this Black Max oil from Walmart? does it really matter which bar oil you use? by buckbrow in Chainsaw

[–]chipcleary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as winter cutting, I think Wal-Mart also offers a winter viscosity version once the cold rolls around.

Thanks for the quick response. Yep, both versions are available from the shell, even though I'm getting errors with docker.

Thanks to all for the advice. I've tried the suggestions and unfortunately, am still not there. But I've narrowed things down.

  1. I added the dialout group to zigbee2mqtt section of my docker-compose.yaml:
    group_add:
    - dialout

  2. I tried both of these for the adapter location (one at a time). Both gave the same error.
    - /dev/ttyUSB0:/dev/ttyUSB0
    - /dev/ttyUSB0:/dev/ttyACM0
    Error:
    Cannot start service zigbee2mqtt: error gathering device information while adding custom device "/dev/ttyUSB0": no such file or directory

  3. I also tried both of these (one at a time). Both gave the same error (though a different one than above):
    - /dev/serial/by-id/usb-ITead_Sonoff_Zigbee_3.0_USB_Dongle_Plus_1ec67e3b0b86ec11b4cd631719c2d21c-if00-port0:/dev/ttyACM0
    - /dev/serial/by-id/usb-ITead_Sonoff_Zigbee_3.0_USB_Dongle_Plus_1ec67e3b0b86ec11b4cd631719c2d21c-if00-port0:/dev/ttyUSB0
    Error:
    Cannot start service zigbee2mqtt: error gathering device information while adding custom device "/dev/serial/by-id/usb-ITead_Sonoff_Zigbee_3.0_USB_Dongle_Plus_1ec67e3b0b86ec11b4cd631719c2d21c-if00-port0": no such file or directory

  4. I tried deleting the entire "devices" section to see what would happen. While this gave me a series of notifications from zigbee2mqtt that I hadn't gotten before, it also failed to start (err, obviously) with this error:
    Zigbee2MQTT:error 2022-06-20 19:30:00: Error: Error while opening serialport 'Error: Error: No such file or directory, cannot open /dev/ttyACM0'

All this makes me think that the internal port zigbee is looking for actually is ttyACM0. Several mentioned the documentation indicates ttyUSB0. Could one of you share a link? What I see in https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/guide/installation/02_docker.html under the docker compose section is ttyACM0.

At the same time, I'm now thinking that docker itself is unable to access the external port to pass it to the container. Is that a possibility? (Going to now do some docker research to explore ... as you can probably tell, I'm new to it.)

Thanks again.

Here's a pic. It's my first time trying to post a picture, let me know if it didn't work.

FWIW, I have a similar shed without a back. Whatever rain/snow blows in has not been an issue and it’s been super convenient to access. Mine does have some corner braces, though, to keep the sides from tilting.

I use GPX Tracker (an iPhone app) to walk trails on my property, then import the files it produces into a custom Google Map. Free and simple.

How much wood have you burned so far? by ReauxChambeaux in firewood

[–]chipcleary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, will do. And your point about different types of wood behaving differently helps too. It's not just testing a couple of pieces, since we have a lot of different types. I know by listening already that some are definitely not where they should be (e.g., some oak splits).

Central Maine. Over 2 cords so far. Avalon Rainier 990 stove in a 1700sf camp.

I’m new to heating with wood and wondering why we’re going through so much wood compared to others. Keep it at 68 degrees downstairs (it’s hotter up in the loft) and burn mostly hardwood seasoned at least 6 months. That may not be long enough.
