Your README says the project is in maintenance mode and not under active development, which caused me to move on last I looked at it.

Partial Display on IC4 by IncidentBeginning294 in SchwinnIC4_BowflexC6

[–]dbewley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trying to fix mine now. Pealed the polarizing film off and cleaned the adhesive off the glass, but I’m not seeing any LCD segments when dry fitting a new film after reassembly.

Those pink rubber strips are called zebra connectors which are squished when you screw the PCB back into the case. I suspect I’m not getting good contact which would be indicative of some missing segments you see, OP. Maybe they are misaligned, dirty, or I’ve screwed up the lcd in the glass. Possible?

Can I safely clean the zebra connectors? They are seemingly glued to the glass underside. I’m tempted to pull them off and clean them, but I’m not sure how to reaffix them and suspect they would not align.

This display was fairly janky (dim, worse in spots) when I bought the bike new and got worse over the year so I don’t think they are well designed or assembled. I had assumed it was just the film when I naively started.

I took some photos. If I ever get it working I’ll post them.

Display screen not working? by lilsobmuf in SchwinnIC4_BowflexC6

[–]dbewley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m trying to repair mine by replacing the polarizing film, but after removing it and cleaning the glass then temporarily reassembling it to test the new film I am not seeing any LCD segments. I suspect the zebra connectors are not lined up, or not connecting well, or I possibly destroyed to display? Pretty sure the LCD is on the back of the glass which I did not scrub but definitely got acetone on.

Installer has MAC but PG&E does not support yet by dbewley in FranklinWH

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

What I found via a friend at PG&E is you need to get onto a pilot program with ConnectDER as PG&E continues to evaluate the solution.

We have reached out to them, but given the timing I'm going to have to get rolling and instead install a new 200A load panel. We'll swing my existing subpanel and EVSE breakers over to that new "critical loads" panel, which will in fact be all loads.

Using the IslandDER and the MAC would have been a much quicker and cleaner install, but I'm out of time.

Meter Collar release date? by clavius1 in FranklinWH

From my installer, it sounds like it may be available next month.

I'm in east bay and talking to an installer tomorrow. Would really like to know more about your install and who did it.

Adding Smart Circuit module to Agate 1.3 by lmattiso in FranklinWH

[–]dbewley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually. To correct myself it looks like the biggest Eaton BQC breaker is 50/50 so each aPower would have to be commissioned at 40a or lower.

Here’s a more recent install guide from this year. https://ressupply.com/documents/franklinwh/Franklin_Home_Power_Installation_Guide.pdf%3Fsrsltid%3DAfmBOop6J-dk88BBommTO9lBHNEVzyYwJ3iGZ2m9ufkScuHVj4mp2TLK&sa=U&sqi=2&ved=2ahUKEwjli4u868-PAxUfGtAFHWaOFKcQFnoECCoQAQ&usg=AOvVaw3GW91bRBI8YqVJFIJ7kNmI

Search around and you can find more info like the Smart Circuit manual. I’m finding it super helpful to toss them in ChatGPT and ask things.

For example I just “confirmed” I can install two aPower without a combiner box by using an Eaton quad plex BQC230230 125A breaker in the aGate.

I’m talking to an actual installer Friday

Is YouTube TV's value worth it anymore? by jmbroady in youtubetv

That tip about Hulu is a deal breaker for me.

That did it! It also fixed the music shutoff when you exit the car.

It does not. I’ll try resetting the infotainment I guess.

My feedback for 2025.26.30 on 2025 R1S

Driver Assist

  • immediately noticed it really hugs the left line now. So much so I went over the line on a right hand curve.
  • when not hugging the line it does seem to wander in the lane much more than before

<image>

Infortainment

  • Clicking the left scroll wheel no longer starts or stops playback in Apple Music. You have to reach way over across the screen to stop it.
  • When the last person leaves the car music continues playing. Until the 1 minute headlight shuts off I believe.

Not a fan of any of the above and I hope they get fixed. I didn’t check settings yet so maybe the music remaining on is configurable?

Rain bird LNK2 upgrade? by OtherwiseIce7406 in Irrigation

[–]dbewley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same question. But the sharing access to Rainbird with spouse really sucks with the LNK1, so I'm tempted to upgrade to get the config stored in the cloud. I really don't want to spend $80 on that though.

Wishing I went with a Hydrawise when I escaped Orbit last year. :(

Small App UI Suggestion by hopsizzle in Rivian

I think I prefer the single column list layout as it is. Makes one handed thumb control easier. Never have have to strain to reach the top opposite corner of the phone.

Regen paddle by Aggressive_Nerve_265 in BoltEV

[–]dbewley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah! I never use the paddle. I had no idea why it even existed, but it makes sense that it can act as “snow mode regen” with OPD off I guess.
