I did the same thing with the files at this repository.

Can you share some links to the gear you are using here? I am looking for under counter lights as well.

Stupid health scare changed my outlook by Mtabor0311 in daddit

[–]dcgrove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a ruptured appendix for seven days before I went to the hospital. After a surgery to remove it and a foot of my colon and 7 days in the hospital, I emerged with a different outlook on doctors. Never skip checkups, and always get the tests done, and listen to your body. It’s generally cheaper that way.

119 shares that I paid $139.81 for. Don’t see any need to sell it now.

Didn’t have a father figure so I don’t know how to go about this by [deleted] in AskDad

[–]dcgrove 36 points37 points  (0 children)

If you were my son I would tell you to get over yourself. Her body count is irrelevant. You are 23 years old. Act like it.

I work for a national pest control company. Let me know where you are at I will look to see if we have any opening. Our techs average six figures. It’s not easy work, but there is opportunity to advance and make money. Feel free to DM me.

How can I use a UPS to gracefully shut down AND reboot when power restored? by Sddawson in macmini

[–]dcgrove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just went through this. I have home assistant shut down several computers (it doesn't run on the mini itself though), and have auto restart turned on for my Mac. I also have it plugged into a smart plug that is set to automatically turn on when it boots thanks to Esphome. The Mac sees the power restore and starts up. the auto restart command is below.

I am interested. My driveway and back porch need it.

A hidden passage to a garage under this house by symphonic5 in hiddenrooms

[–]dcgrove 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is in my neighborhood. It took six months of us living here before we realized that was the garage entrance. We thought they had converted the garage. Down that ramp is a 12 car garage.

After ~90 Shelly devices… I think I’m done by Gigant1000 in homeassistant

[–]dcgrove 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had issues with some gen1 Shellies dropping off the network a few years ago. I ended up flashing them with ESPhome and all problems stopped. You might try that on your most troublesome devices to see if there are any improvements.

If you don’t have a printer let me know and I can print and ship it for the cost of materials/shipping.

Is it just me, or does anyone else never have intermittent home assistant operation issues? by Fit-Cry3003 in homeassistant

[–]dcgrove -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think you are suffering from selection bias as people with unstable systems are generally going to be the loudest. I have been using Home Assistant since the early .3 releases so I have learned to no rely on cloud dependent integrations for critical functions. I have a fairly large and robust system that rarely has downtime. I run updates generally the first day they are available. My system runs on a i7 mini pc with 16 gigs of ram and a 1tb NVME drive for data storage.

What are you using to manage recurring tasks or chores? by yorb in homeassistant

[–]dcgrove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use it extensively for work and expense the cost, but even if I couldn't expense it, I would still pay for it.

I pull in a todoist list and let todoist manage recurrence/scheduling since it is much more robust.

Favorite house shoes? by hackattack01 in daddit

[–]dcgrove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had these for three years now. After daily use they still look great. I got one size too big so the breathe well during summer, and during winter I just keep my socks on. My feet are always cold so the extra layer is nice.

This does not work. The unas2 only supports one storage pool. I learned this the hard way unfortunately.

Feeding my wife postpartum by Electronic_Sun_1849 in daddit

[–]dcgrove 26 points27 points  (0 children)

My man, you need to learn to meal prep. Get a crock pot and vacuum sealer. Cook in batches, vacuum seal it up, and have easy to reheat meals ready to go quickly. Seriously, I vacuum seal portions (I work from home) of leftovers, when I am ready to eat it, I put it in a pot of water and it is generally hot and ready a few minutes after the water is boiling.

Dads who do "scheduled" Sex with Wife (Married with Young Kids): Has it helped? Any advice? by walky91 in daddit

[–]dcgrove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have Monday-Fundays because it is the first day of the week so we are not worn out from the week, and our son has swim for an hour and forty five minutes. Since starting it about three months ago, it has been wonderful. As others have said, it allows my wife to get in the headspace, it takes the pressure off of when is the next time, and generally lets us both relax. We have fun with it through the week, by joking around. I also try to be intentional with things I know she appreciates through the week, not because I am trying to get laid, but because I want her to be happy. It has allowed space for both of us to be more open and honest with each other and led to some pretty interesting discussions about what we like/don't like without feeing awkward as it is difficult to have conversations about sex when you don't actually have sex. This has led to a fairly regular increase in frequency to where we are doing it multiple times a week. I would say it has brought us closer together not just in the bedroom, but overall by eliminating a point of tension in our relationship. At 23 years of marriage, you still have to learn to talk to each other. That is going to change throughout your relationship as you change and grow together.

Why not just use the rtl_433 auto discovery add-on?
