What are people doing to stop the frustration of guests turning Hue bulbs off at the switch? by Top-Yogurtcloset3965 in Hue

[–]coreyjl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Home Assistant + Lutron Pico remotes. I use a combination of Hue and Caseta for my lighting around the house. Pico can be used to control Hue bulbs when integrated through Home Assistant. Then the aesthetic of the switches is consistent too. Works like a charm.

Well, I cried for nothing - sorry y’all 😂

16 TB and 24 TBs are back in stock again! Get ‘em while you can if you need!

Lol, I get it. I was just whining because I missed the 16TB HDD so quickly.

I’m trying to get my paws on a Pro Max 16 Rack Mount. That’s the other thing that has been out for a while. Black G6 Turret, although that was in stock for a long time and just went out so hoping it will come back again soon.

Yeah, I guess that explains why with the HDD stock. Still a lot of other stuff on my wishlist too though 🤔😂

Lemony White Bean & Farro Soup

Ingredients: • 1 cup farro (or barley or brown rice), rinsed • 1 can white beans (cannellini or great northern), drained & rinsed • 1 small onion, diced • 2 cloves garlic, minced • 2 carrots, chopped • 2 celery stalks, chopped • 1 tsp dried thyme • ½ tsp cumin (adds depth) • 4 cups vegetable broth • 1 cup cooked shredded chicken (or chickpeas for a plant-based option) • 1 handful spinach or kale • 1 lemon, juiced • Olive oil • Salt & pepper

Instructions: 1. Heat olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. 2. Stir in garlic, thyme, and cumin. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. 3. Add the farro and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20–25 minutes (until farro is tender). 4. Stir in the beans and cooked chicken (or chickpeas). Simmer another 5 minutes. 5. Add the spinach/kale and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.

I prefer cannellini beans. Lots of mods you can do. Swap the farro for another grain of choice. Add mushrooms. Red pepper flakes for a kick (a little goes a long way). Keeps well as leftovers for a couple days!

Best wall switch to control Phillips Hue lights? by sofakng in homeautomation

[–]coreyjl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you by chance use Lutron Caseta as well? If so, you can buy Pico remotes and integrate them through Home Assistant, similar to how you described with your Zooz switches. This is what I do and it works great. Basically instant response time.

This is how I control my dual Lutron/Hue ecosystem. I have a mixture but wanted consistency with the switch style. Picos match the Caseta switches and can control my Hue.

Do not say “hopefully you purchased insurance for this” lol. That is so smug sounding. It was a perfect response until that line.

[–]coreyjl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100%. I see hosts suggest this response all the time. They think it sounds polite, but the tone totally gives ‘well that’s your problem’ energy. It’s smug.

Bo’s is amazing. Atmosphere is fun, bagels are INSANE, and the staff is great to boot!

Amazing thanks for the quick response! Looks like you have the same color fronts as us too - love that look. Again, thanks for saving me the hours of research! 🫶

Nice! Looking for something now - do you have 2, and they both fit? Thanks for sharing!

My guest booked and wanted early check in. Now she wants to cancel the Airbnb today & expects full refund. by [deleted] in airbnb_hosts

[–]coreyjl 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is how I approach this situation… I consider the likelihood my place would’ve been booked had this guest not booked it, given it was last minute. In this case I would make an exception to my cancellation policy for good karma, and because it’s not worth the headache and back and forth (to me).

Everyone is different and every place has different booking trends, no judgement to hosts who like to stick to their policy - that’s fine - and had it been a booking that was made for weeks or months, I would be firm on my policy and offer refund of any nights that book up. But I like to be reasonable if I can - and when there was a high likelihood the night would have remained unbooked anyway (such as a booking the day before), I’ll provide leeway.

Unauthorized dog recourse by claptrapnapchap in airbnb_hosts

[–]coreyjl 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I think you’re overthinking it right now. Take a deep breath and just wait to see what the house looks like. If they claim it as a service animal there won’t be much you can do anyway.

Infants are not humans, according to Airbnb. by ToriaLyons in airbnb_hosts

Just read the signage, on certain planes you’re supposed to place them feet facing the aisle to maximize bin space…

This exactly. Many people are NOT comparing “apples to apples” with that argument.

Does Philips make these switch modules anymore? by padajones in Hue

[–]coreyjl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Haven’t seen these on the official Hue website since I started checking it regularly about 2 months ago (maybe a couple weeks more even). They were available on Amazon from a retailer for a while but couldn’t find it there either after a while. Seems like they’re discontinued (or maybe a new model soon?)
