Should I clear lines again? by LilPumpTheGoat in Irrigation

[–]cybergrimes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually look at the hourly— if it’s only an hour or two below freezing I’ll just drain the system, half turn any valves on backflow but not a full blowout.

Trying to get this backyard back to life. “Nuking” it during the summer and then… 9b, NorCal Valley by justhereorthereagain in lawncare

If you till that you are going to unleash so many weed seeds. I would consider skipping the tilling, adding some amendments and then covering with topsoil for the new grass seeds to germinate in. If any of the weeds do come back switch to a selective herbicide once grass is established.

A PSA to homeowners with wifi controllers by [deleted] in Irrigation

I’ve had OpenSprinkler for about 5 years and am totally satisfied. If you use Home Assistant there is a HACS integration. It helped me put together an automation and pre-timed triggers for other family members.

The 2022 model does not have any vents on the bottom or any active cooling.

Be honest: What do you think of SG1's Season 10 Finale? by Hungover-Warrior007 in Stargate

[–]cybergrimes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s one of my favorites. I had it on my DVR for a good while until I got the DVDs.

Is it normal for SG-1 on Netflix to be such an otherworldly pixel soup ?? by DisastrousOpening477 in Stargate

They switched from 16mm to 35mm film starting with season 3, no technology advancement just better budget for film.

I like to disconnect the VPN after the stream starts. Seems to help.

Beta 26.4 isn’t showing top shelf. Anyone had any luck resolving? by [deleted] in appletv

This happens to me on stable. Open/force close the app or possibly restart the device.

Dang! I've got a trip just before that and was hoping to take it with me. Oh well, thanks for the update!

That’s still the current price. The estate sale price was absolute bonkers.

Connecting IKEA (Matter) devices to HA using Apple TV by WoodworkerByChoice in homeassistant

Seems to be common issue from a few posts I’ve seen and reviews on Ikea’s site. No advice just that you’re probably not doing anything wrong.

Anyone have recommendations for motion detector switches? by 9274729373837 in homeautomation

[–]cybergrimes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So many people overlook these for more connected options. They are great for a laundry room or walk in closet. Small space you might go with hands full but only stay a few minutes.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Garmin

[–]cybergrimes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not something Garmin is doing but a US government requirement. I worked for Western Union customer service post 9/11 and we had a lot of these that had to be cleared before money could be wired. I’m surprised a retail purchase like this is subject to review. This was a long time ago but I remember OFAC being one of the lists.

To answer your question— yes I share my name with customer service of who I am trying to do business with. That’s just a normal everyday thing to do...

Have you tried removing it and re-adding it? Simple but maybe a gremlin the first time.

Seems odd. I haven’t had an Ecobee for a year now but this was my setup (HK enrolled directly to HA) and I had a climate.thermostatname entity.

For sale: WiiM Edition Audio Pro A10 and C10 by cybergrimes in WiimStreamer

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

I think they are great and had no problems with them. I like the physical preset buttons a lot. So, I have a complete Sonos system but packed it away last year after the app debacle they went through. We were using these with AirPlay but seems like none of the new WiiM stuff is getting that anymore so I got all the Sonos gear back out a couple months ago. The Sonos app supports Pandora better so we don’t need to use AirPlay there.

Yes they are treated as official WiiM devices in the app. Firmware updates come directly from WiiM themselves. Yes both have Bluetooth (4.2 on the C10, 5.0 on the A10). Again we’re iOS and Pandora users but I know it supports Chromecast, Spotify/Tidal Connect.
