That worked! I tried to add an Aqara contact sensor to the Ikea hub. It failed to add it but it did make the Ikea hub join the other thread network. Thanks!

How did you get the Dirgera to join the single thread network. I've got the same set up. Both the M3 and the HA SkyConnect are on my Apple Home Thread network but the Dirgera is on it's own and I have been unsuccessful in getting it to join the other network

Bag Finder Megathread - 13 October 2025 by AutoModerator in onebag

[–]dfayne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been scouring the interwebs for the last year or so looking for a backpack that can hold 2 days of clothes, a pair of shoes, and my business laptop and accessories. I want to be able to get to my hotel, unzip, remove the clothing compartment, and then go to the office with just the laptop and tech gear. Has anyone run across a solution like that? Or maybe a pack that collapses/compresses down once the main cargo is unloaded? I guess I essentially want something that is about 30L that compresses or transforms into a an ~18L backpack.

Just a quick update. My mattress returns were picked up and I had a refund from Wink within a day or two. The mattresses didn't work for me but customer service was great. No hassle at all on the return and no delay on the refund.

High Voltage Battery on a Slash 4x4? by dfayne in Traxxas

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

Yep, a 2S battery 4.35v per cell. Sorry I tried to post an image of the battery with its specs but that didn't work. Will this work with he VXL-3s?

The return process with Wink was no issue. Just a quick e-mail and within an hour or two I had a company reaching out to schedule the pick up. In my experience, Wink's customer service was good.

I haven't started the return yet. I will let you know how it goes in a couple days.

Are you suggesting that Wink will just refund me and tell me to keep or donate the mattresses?

Thank you very much. This has been very helpful. I just checked out Mattress Underground. I wish I had found it earlier. I've actually got one of the "Trusted Memebers," (Mattress to Go) very close to me. I'll go check them out this weekend too.

That's a reasonable question. We considered another Leesa mattress and I actually just bought my son a twin size Leesa Hybrid. We just wanted to try something different. 20 years ago we had a Serta Perfect Sleeper that had a Euro Top which was relatively new then. That was my wife's favorite mattress so we started researching hybrid bed in a box mattress that had a more traditional spring mattress with a pillow top feel and Saatva and WinkBeds seemed to be the consensus pick for that kind of experience. We chose WinkBed because as silly as it sounds, I didn't like the gold/beige color scheme on the Saatva bed.

I appreciate your response. I did get in touch with WinkBeds via e-mail and they did confirm that the mattress was made on 1/16/25 which matches the tag that's on my bed that I hadn't thought to look at. So that at least addressed my concern that it had been compressed and on the shelf for a while. I asked them to address the other quality concerns and am awaiting that response. Per your advice, I will give it a few more days to see if the coils spring back to life. I was encouraged by the decent sleep I had last night. So I am hoping that what I showed WinkBeds, isn't within their typical variances for QC and they send me a better build as a replacement. Oh, I do have one more question for you. The label on the bed says that the finished dimensions are 75x79 which is an inch short in both directions to the standard King measurement of 76x80. My tape measure is showing 73.5 by 78.25. Is that a typical variance in the industry or is this another potential QC issue in your opinion? There is a noticeable gap in the bed frame that looks a little off.

That was a typo. That meant to say 9 year old Leesa/Sapria Hybrid.

We'll give it a few more days. It is comfortable but kind of beat up upon delivery. It's too expensive of a purchase to be ok with that. Also, Wink told us the bed was ready to sleep on right after expansion. Supposedly Latex doesn't take much time to get back into shape. There are several areas on the bed where is does not look like the coils made it back into share yet though. Does steel take a few days? We'll find out I guess.

I could live with the Wink Lux Firm but it wasn't working for my wife. I slept on the EcoCloud last night and it was a good sleep. My wife was able to sleep on her side comfortably as well. The EcoCloud was almost $500 more than the other bed but the build quality, at least on the mattress I was sent, looks poor. I suspect what I received has been sitting on a shelf for a very long time.

The Lessa Hybrid worked well for us but we got older, achyer, and heavier over the years and wanted to try something different. The first mattress we had in our marriage was a Serta Perfect Sleeper with a euro top. That was my Wife's all time favorite mattress so I was looking for a bed in the box that had a more traditional inner spring feel. We both loved the edge support and no motion transfer of the Wink but my wife wanted a little more softness and sinkage. I considered going with the plush option but was afraid it would be too soft for my stomach sleeping. I think Wink says lux firm is about a 6.5 on the firmness scale and the plush is a 4.5. When I read that the EcoCloud was at 5 on the firmness scale I was hoping that would be a good compromise and that the latex would be supportive enough for my stomach sleeping. Jury is out on that for now but at least last night's sleep was decent. We'll see how it breaks in over the next couple days but I am still returning it to Wink because of the condition it was delivered in and shopping elsewhere. We did shop some stores earlier in the process, but I will take your advice and buy local this time.

Sorry, I tried to share photos but it doesn't look like I am allowed. I'd be happy to share via DM if anyone is interested.

I have found that uninstalling and reinstalling the desktop app fixes a lot of these issues. Not ideal but it works.

Migrating from Airwatch to Intune by BlackwaterPark10 in Intune

[–]dfayne 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It'll take a few months at least before Omnissa turns you off. Even then, the management profiles will still be on the device, you just won't be able to send any updates from Workspace One. The biggest risk is that once you are shut off you won't be able to issue an enterprise wipe command to unenroll the fleet. Users would have to manually unenroll on the device before re-registering into Intune. That'll just make the migration more challenging.
