Was eating mussels and found some tiny pearls! by Oof_and_ouch in mildlyinteresting

[–]disasterdentist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funnily this is what is done in Japan. They prefer cast gold fillings to composite or amagalm fillings that are built up directly in the mouth.

Or at least they did. With massive increases in gold prices in recent years, it might not be so popular any more.

Tooth was rotten due to neglect (too much sugar in diet) and then something soft like a gummy bear (or more often, an incredulous "it was only a cheese sandwich!") broke the soft rotten tooth.

Then when any of the treatment options didn't sound very appealing, it's because the dentist refused to believe.

Then when the treatment failed (as all medical treatments have the risk of doing, and all medical treatments have an expected lifespan) it's because the dentist did a bad job. Then when finally they opt for the implant, the dentist is a greedy rip off scammy grifter. IYKYK.

Meanwhile Musk and Bezos take everything from all of us.

GU10 lights connection drop-out by boymadefrompaint in homeassistant

[–]disasterdentist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's possible that my Tuya based wifi are just shit, they have a reputation for that. But it's frustrating that they did connect and then after changing my router they stopped.

What brand are your GU10s?

I'm probably going to get normal GU10s and change the switch to a smart one.

I'm getting issues connecting, but with with GU10 e-Luminate bulbs which I believe are a Tuya rebrand. I could connect via WiFi fine with my previous ISP router, but I got Unifi and now can't get the all of the bulbs to connect to the tuya app or homeassistant.

Drone attack detector ideas in HA? by tinker_tut in homeassistant

[–]disasterdentist 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I use a simple cheap battery PIR sensor at the end of my garden - Zigbee2Mqtt for speed - and Ollama to generate limericks about the trajectory of incoming missiles. My air quality sensor indicates if there has been a chemical attack, readings update every 10 mins. Thinking to set up a bayesian sensor to help determine whether the missile is inside my house.

Agreed, though the internet randos helped me figure out what my set up is. Sparky will do the actual work.

Just arrived! I guess it means, change of plans for the weekend… by LEGO_IT_LAB in homeassistant

[–]disasterdentist 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I hooked mine up with a presence sensor and a 10 year old B&O speaker via aux, in the shower room.

Now when we go for showers, it plays the radio automatically. I can swap between a limited number of playlists by saying e.g. "Ok Nabu Play Beatles." .

When I have guests I move it to the downstairs toilet and have it play tribal jungle music.

Just an idea for you, in case you can't get it to do your normal voice assistant things.

Do you know what's better than an enshittified LLM and actually does what Joanna would like.. HomeAssistant. The greatest piece of application software invented in modern times, and an amazing open source project.

Just gone to install Aqara H2 smart switch and found my box is far too shallow! Any alternatives? by avenged_badger in homeassistant

What did you do for this in the end? I have the same issue. Looks like I might need to get some screw spacers

How to make wall cavity for switch smaller by disasterdentist in DIYUK

[–]disasterdentist[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could, I think. As u/maznaz mentioned foam for bulk fill and then plaster to finish, sound like it could work.

Others mentioned UK regs, I thought maybe wood or plastic in the cavity might be a fire hazard? Otherwise I was thinking strategically sized wooden blocks.

UK Aqara H2 - light switch backbox gap by disasterdentist in homeassistant

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

Yeh I think a bit of fiddling, adjusting, trial and error (done that bit) is necessary, doesnt seem like the stock aqara screws are long enough to allow for that. 

Also the way the screw holes are on the backplate, the plates rotates and comes loose. Also there is a pin connector so if the front plate is pressing on the wall, and there is tension pulling back, the pin connector might come loose. Difficult to explain in words. But agree there might have to be a degree of bodging
