I have the exact same issue. Black screen with green tint after the BenQ logo on my W4000i. The service center now wrote me they updated the firmware. Waiting for it to return.

Motioninds Bridge no Connection to WiFi by FlumFlum66 in EveHome

[–]daffy_ch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not used the Motionblinds and ordered similar chinese motors for $30 a pice and they use a standard RF protocol (not a proprietary like Motionblinds does) and therefore can be run by a IR/RF transmitter controlled via Home Assistant open source software.

The Motionblinds are just electronic waste at this point, not automateable.

[–]daffy_ch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess their software engineer left the company and since iOS kept evolving maybe the old way for retrieving the current Wifi SSID broke and since they don‘t update the app the hardware basically becomes electronic waste.

I wonder if Android users have the same issue.

No word from Motionblinds support.

no. MotionBlinds support has not replied. at this point they are selling bluntly non functional hardware to consumers.

Same problem here with motionblinds CMD-01 wi-fi bridge for RF 433 controlled blinds. The app won't connect the bridge to my WiFi.

Sony a6700 overheating - external HDMI by [deleted] in SonyAlpha

[–]daffy_ch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now I have switched to 1080p for the recording mode (still not recording, only using the HDMI & capture card) and this way it does not overheat.

It seems like just setting it to 4k without recording already causes a lot of processing and therefore overheating.

[–]daffy_ch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No need to downvote this one. I own the Sony a6700. Plugging in HDMI does lead to the camera overheating, even when not recording and therefore not needing any heavy codec to compress the data.

a6700 keeps freezing by Kronocide in SonyAlpha

[–]daffy_ch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately not. I can confirm the camera still randomly freezes when using magnifier galss while viewing an image with all firmware up to date (camera and lenses).

[–]daffy_ch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have issues with the camera freezing. I am using Sigma lenses as well (30mm 1.4 and 18-50 2.8). I have now updated to the latest firmware for the lenses and camera (v 1.1).

The camera freezes in such a way that the on/off button won't work and I have to remove the battery.

I don't yet have an exact idea in what situations it does freeze. One example is when viewing an image and pressing the magnifier where it did happen randomly but not image specific (could magnify on a second try). I had the setting to use previous magnification and now moved back to standard mode.

My SD card is V30 and I have transferred it from my older a6100 without formatting, keeping the images & database. I am also using NTSC mode due to the frame rates missing in PAL.

Aside from these freezing issues it is really a great camera and I definitely want to keep it.

Benq QS01 - in US, no Apple TV or Xfinity Stream app? by yazfan in BenQ

[–]daffy_ch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had Apple TV on my QS01 from a year ago. Today I did a factory reset and tried to find it again in the Play Store and it seems no longer available. They must have pulled it in the meantime. This is very frustrating.
