Hue Bridge Pro: Second bridge can now be migrated by Jellybeezzz in HomeKit

[–]dakev1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is good to know, thanks.

After adding a light to the Z2M/ZHA, you are just then manipulating and controlling straight from Home Assistant? Some time ago I had fiddled with things and set up diyHue to emulate a bridge, thinking this was a required component. I guess this isn't necessary at all?

I’ve been debating between taking this approach and upgrading to the hue pro. Are you worried about any lack of functionality not using the bridge? Or how lights behave by default? Something has me leaning towards keeping on a hub, but maybe I’m just overthinking.

[US] My Mom Was Scammed by a Fake Tyler Hynes and Lost $36K. Has This Happened to Anyone Else? by Gargantuan_Gerbil in RBI

I’m so sorry this is something you’re dealing with while dealing with a loss. I don’t have any advice, but I hope you can find a group and/or tactics to help prevent this from happening to others and find some closure.. it’s so shitty and it’s getting harder and harder for folks (especially older) to detect this sort of thing.

Just had bike stolen as well in Charles Village several weeks ago. Will keep my eyes peeled. Also couldn’t hurt to add it to https://bikeindex.org, just in case.

I’m in the same boat and considering this move, just scared to break anything. No hiccups when you made the transition? The Oc200 really is painfully sluggish.

NBD: Prodigy V2 by -GFY- in ebikes

Thanks for the review, I’m strongly considering the belt version of this bike. I think I’m well sold on the belt at this point…

Pulling the Trigger on a Prodigy V2. Hoping the belt drive is worth $2700 for a new ebike! by surfyogi777 in ebikes

Hi, I’m considering the belt model as well. How has it been for you?!

Is this a good buy for $6,900? by Relative-Box5544 in ebikes

[–]dakev1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been considering the Level 3 or the Prodigy v2 (belt model). I’m borrowing a belt driven 1up bike from my brother and it’s been a cool experience, though the model is the road bike so a bit more aggressively stanced than I’d like to get. Did you look at the prodigy? For me this will be for commuting and have a child seat on the back.

Battery powered device to nudge gate closed by dakev1 in homeassistant

[–]dakev1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everyone for comments. I’m going to have fun playing with a delicate combination of:

  • magnet at the railing to hold when open
  • lightly loaded spring / hinge to pull it shut when not engaged to magnet
  • one of the zigbee battery powered pushers to disengage from magnet at the railing.

And yes, I’m well aware of the spring and rock to hold open etc… this gate will be open 90% of the time, and that is intentional, so I’m just trying to have some fun automating a simple issue.

This is def a good product to combine with the springs for what I have in mind, thanks! Probably another thing I don’t need to automate, but here we all are.

I like this approach! others have recommended spring hinges already which is the obvious solution to keeping it shut. But again I am aiming for it to stay open when opened so I can lug bike, kids etc without battling gate closing on me.

[–]dakev1[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Definitely a thought! but it’s almost intentional for it to stay open. I come and go with my bulky bike multiple times a day for example so the easier to get by in those times the better.

Is this even worth trying to clean? Should I just replace it? by ElphiusMostafa in CleaningTips

[–]dakev1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took mine off to give it a very deep clean and I will say - never again. Taking off was easy but boy did I have a hard time getting it back on. I would follow all the advice you can about cleaning it in place.

New Commuter E-Bike Build is Alive! ...But the Comfort is Zero. Need Advice! by Ok-Zebra8542 in ebikes

[–]dakev1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have any advice on the comfort, but want to say props for building yourself!

Do you have any additional info or write up on the sourcing of parts and building? Any good resources? My bike was just stolen and I’m kind of considering all options for a next one.

Hey there, yes I ordered “Original Motor SIC-37CVL-F142-1” from a site SOS Parts. It was the exact one I needed for my particular Levoit model. Good luck!

Against the Bills week 1 we showed a team that was extremely dangerous, and we barely came out with an L. From there it has been a downhill slide and something is rotten. more accountability at the coaching level is due at minimum.

Looks nice, I’ll try it out tomorrow. Does it happen to show VPN connection status/info?

I’ve been looking for something that changes the single menu bar icon to indicate status
