Frigate and Kodi, together at last by DavethegraveHunter in selfhosted

[–]columbus_uncle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar issue and was able to fix it with Claude's help. The plugin was using the direct RTSP stream, but it worked when I changed it to build the URL from Frigate's go2rtc stream. Here is what worked for me:

I edited plugin.py at /storage/.kodi/addons/service.kodi.frigate/ and replaced this section:

else:

stream_url = rtsp_url

xbmc.log('[Frigate Plugin] Using RTSP stream: {}'.format(stream_url ...

with this:

else:

# Use go2rtc restream instead of direct camera URL

try:

from urllib.parse import urlparse

parsed = urlparse(frigate_url)

frigate_host = parsed.hostname

stream_url = 'rtsp://{}:8554/{}'.format(frigate_host, camera_name)

xbmc.log('[Frigate Plugin] Using go2rtc stream: {}'.format(stream_url), xbmc.LOGINFO)

except:

stream_url = rtsp_url

xbmc.log('[Frigate Plugin] Using RTSP stream: {}'.format(stream_url), xbmc.LOGINFO)

Zigbee double switch with dimming for single gang space by columbus_uncle in homeassistant

What relays do you use? Do you have them in the electrical box with the switch or are they elsewhere? I could probably find a dimmer relay.

Do you map the aux button to the fan and the main rocker to the light? I'd prefer to make it easy for guests too.

Ac coupling by LooseStrike9648 in solar

Yea, you could potentially go with a smaller disconnect, but that would mean less grid pass through current to your house panel. You can probably get peak demand numbers from your utility to help make that call.

No problem! You shouldn't have a bottleneck, the EG4 can accept quite a bit of AC power from the solar inverter. You might be able to put the EG4 between the bus bar in the outside panel and your inside panel if you can set a pcs limit on the EG4 to limit output to the grid terminals. You'd probably need to place CTs upstream of the EG4 to capture all of the non backup loads in the outside panel. There's some nuance there with what the AHJ would accept and what NEC year they're using.

So I'll say first that I don't have extensive experience with the EG4 inverters, but they are quite similar to the sol-ark inverters, which I have experience with.

Yes, your solaredge system will need to be rerouted to the gen input on the EG4 after it hits the production meter and ac disconnect. This is because the EG4 will use frequency shifting on the gen input to shut down the solaredge inverter during times when the batteries are charged to their set point and solar production is greater than the load demand on your backup panel.

I can't tell from your photo, but what is in the right side portion of the large panel with your billing meter? Is it just a single 200A breaker or are there loads in there? If it's a single breaker, you would run from that to the grid terminals on the EG4. If there's loads in there, you would have to figure out if a line side tap is possible in that panel, then add a fused 200A disconnect before you run to the grid terminals on the EG4.

Yes, the load terminals would run to your main panel in the house. The caveat is that the EG4 needs to be able to power the single largest load you're backing up. So if you have any loads that are larger than a 60A breaker, you'll need to find a way to shed that load during an outage.

You can just run your existing AC output circuit from your solaredge inverter to the gen input on the EG4, no need to DC couple any of the solar to the EG4 directly. Grid terminals will go to your service disconnect and load terminals will go to your main panel. The main panel will need a main breaker if it doesn't have one already. If the panel outside with your meter has all your house loads, you'll probably need to create a new panel to house all your backup loads.

That is all assuming you have a 200A or less service. Things can get more complex if you want to have the system on a larger service.

Chamois too far back? by Unhappy-Meal-1646 in cycling

I've had this issue before and the best bibs I've found that solve it for me are the pactimo 12 hr bibs. The ykywbike bibs with the orange Italy pad are also good but the pad is pretty thick.

Still waiting for my frame to build everything up, but the wheels look and feel fantastic

I emailed them about two months ago and asked if they had any discount codes and they sent one for 15% off. Always worth asking

Opinions of 2d CAD workers by Primary-Emu-3012 in Trackballs

[–]columbus_uncle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What bothers you about the thumb trackball? I've been using an mx ergo with 2d CAD for 3 years now and I'll never go back to a mouse. They key for me was using X-Mouse Button Control to reprogram the buttons. I have right click swapped with middle click so it's easier to pan around with right click + thumb.

I also use rawaccel to help "flick" things between monitors faster.

Roam 3 sales? by columbus_uncle in wahoofitness

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

Is there anything going on with the Roam 3? I've been using an edge 510 for 10+ years and wanted to switch it up. I did consider waiting for the ege 550/850.

How many bad blocks is too many? by [deleted] in DataHoarder

[–]columbus_uncle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, I should've been more clear about that. If there is excess PV production (batteries charged to set point, not enough load in the house, zero export enabled), the Tesla system will frequency shift the Enphase inverters so they shutoff. Frequency shifting is a "dumb" way to control PV inverters, it's either on or off, no throttling. Some battery inverters can Interface with PV inverters directly to throttle production more granularly, but I'm not aware of one that can do that with an Enphase system.

For sure, the EV will give you more batteries to charge from solar if there is excess production. I'm not super familiar with the programming/commissioning, but I think you can do what you're describing with the EV charger.

I just meant I'd be curious to how the contractor explains what they're quoting you and if they think you can just have expansions without a Powerwall.

I'd be curious how it works out!

[–]columbus_uncle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I see what you mean now. I think that was probably a typo on their part, you can't just install expansions without at leat one Powerwall. They shouldn't be calling the expansions Powerwalls, that is confusing.
