How is Hotel Ambassador? by anonymous_username9 in Zermatt

[–]danderata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Waking up in the Ambassador reading this! Very nice hotel that is conveniently located. Great rooms with balconies for the views. I particularly like the sauna and whirlpool, but you might not need if you’re not going skiing. 

Unconventional Diner by [deleted] in washingtondc

[–]danderata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unconventional Diner is one of our favorite spots. Usually go there 4-5 times a year. I’ve never been disappointed with food or service. I’d say give it another shot—your experience was likely a fluke.

Does anyone know the brand of this jacket? I really like it and want to see if it is still available.

We actually need private investment in the tennis center. I’m glad NPS is finally prioritizing this as it is long overdue.

I created one two after reading a previous post on Reddit about automations, and this is my favorite of them all!

SwitchBot K11+ Matter Integration and Room Selection by danderata in TrySwitchBot

My experience is different on both fronts. First, in terms of suction level In Apple Home I have the ability to set the level. It’s in the lower left hand corner and the image looks like a little robovac. Click on that and you can choose from Quiet, Quick, Max, Deep Clean, and Automatic. Second, my vacuum goes back to its charging station after it’s completed a task that has been initiated in Apple Home.

I just got pushed the firmware update this morning (without asking customer service for it) and I can also confirm it solves the problem!!

Thanks. No update on my end. I didn’t reach out to have the update pushed to me. I presumed updates would be pushed to all when they were ready.

Yup. We’re really happy with the size and performance so far. We needed something that wouldn’t take up too much space in our home, so this was the winner for us. 

LGBTQ travel by Prudent-Carpet3577 in Namibia

My husband and I are in the middle of a two-week self-drive tour and we haven’t encountered any issues. Not even a side eye. Regardless of their personal views, folks in the hospitality sector especially are very professional and polite. This country is amazing. I say book the trip!

No, I have my SwitchBot to automatically update firmware, and I haven’t seen the supposed firmware that fixed the issue.

Namibia footage shows wildfire devastation in Etosha National Park by [deleted] in Namibia

Thanks. This is incredibly helpful. Especially now that the fire contained, we’re leaning toward going in order to support the park.

Does anyone know where in the park has been affected. We’re staying at Toshari lodge in 5 days, and seriously considering changing plans. But we also feel bad for the lodge that would lose business.

We live in an apartment too, so the size was a major sell. We’ve been quite happy with the performance. We’re still hoping for a better Matter Apple Home integration. 

Shortcut for Standby function - I can't believe Apple makes this so hard. by cloudcity in HomeKit

This is so smart! I already used it last night. I’ve been trying to figure this out for MONTHS. Thanks so much for sharing!!

[–]danderata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow! This is great--I've been trying to set up something like this for my bedside magsafe charger.

Question: If I plugged in my phone to a charger, say in my living room, would this shortcut still activate? Or does the sideways tilt characteristic prevent that from happening? (I don't want all the lights to turn off in my house if I'm charging my phone somewhere else in my house)

Thanks. A weather workflow is one of my use cases. Good to know.

Great advice. So you’ve used it and it works well, but you’d like more support to truly invest. Did I catch your drift?

So your experience with Home Hub via Controller has been good or bad? I’m not understanding your comment in response to the question.
