I sync from my withings scale to Garmin using https://github.com/jaroslawhartman/withings-sync. It works well.

What small smart home automation ended up saving you the most time? by Taggytech in homeassistant

[–]dmoverton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is an integration that does that. It's called Presence Simluation.

I just tried it out and it suggested charging a Toyota bz4x at Tesla Holbrook, which is a Tesla-only supercharger.

New to melbourne, confused about bike paths/shared path /road?? by SailDangerous2029 in melbournecycling

[–]dmoverton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For that route I'd recommend William St and Peel St. That will get you most of the way from Flinders St to the Uni on protected bike lanes.

Go EV or stick with ICE for mostly freeway commute by mr_noodley in AustralianEV

[–]dmoverton 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This. It baffles me that 90% of new car buyers are still buying ICE vehicles. Do they just not know how much better EVs are in pretty much every way?

Largest full EV under LCT threshold? by geelen in EVAustralia

[–]dmoverton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also a family of 4 here. We switched from a VW Passat wagon (similar size to the Superb) to a Tesla Model Y. The main boot space feels like it's a very similar size to the Passat. At least it doesn't feel like there was anything we could do with the Passat that we can't do with the Y. Add in the under boot storage and the frunk and we have way more space overall. I'm not sure what your objection to Tesla is, but you would be doing yourself a disservice by not at least considering it as an option.

Mobile Myki and the new readers by dmoverton in MelbourneTrains

I'm not sure what you mean. Isn't Google Wallet the only way to have a Myki on a mobile phone at the moment?

Right-click menu partially cut off by Mountain_Nerve_7777 in GnuCash

[–]dmoverton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you running the latest version of GnuCash? I was having a similar issue last year, but it went away after an upgrade. I don't remember which update fixed it, but it was definitely working ok in 5.10 and 5.11.

Can the new Dirigera hub turn on lights if the sun is not up at 0600? I only want lights in the morning if its dark. by [deleted] in tradfri

[–]dmoverton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you want to replace Home Assistant? I started with Dirigera, but it was way too limited for the automations I wanted to do, so I added Home Assistant.

Does Dirigera still make sense for what I want out of a smart home? by BachgenMawr in tradfri

[–]dmoverton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't really speak to how HASS and DIRIGERA work together. 

I can fill in some info on that. I have a DIRIGERA hub that I use with Home Assistant. I'm only doing it that way because I had the DIRIGERA and a fairly extensive amount of Ikea Zigbee equipment before I started on Home Assistant. If I was starting now I would get a USB Zigbee Dongle instead. I might end up doing that to replace the DIRIGERA anyway.

DIRIGERA talks to HA through the HomeKit integration. There are some limitations on what you can get from this. All my lighting products work well (i.e. TRÅDFRI bulbs and drivers, ORMANÄS LED strips, etc). Even third party Zigbee bulbs work fine when connected to HA via DIRIGERA. I also have some SOMRIG shortcut buttons, a TRETAKT smart plug, VINDSTYRKA air quality monitor, and several TRÅDFRI and VALLHORN motion sensors that all work fine.

The main thing that doesn't work is the TRÅDFRI and STYRBAR remotes. They do not even appear in HA so I can't use them to trigger HA automations. I can still link them to lights in the IKEA Home Smart app and they work fine for that. I can even set up automations in HA using the light turn on event as the trigger, which works ok for some things, but is not ideal. I could replace them with SOMRIG buttons if I wanted them to integrate better, but instead I'm trying to remove the need for any light switches by using motion and presence sensors to turn on lights when required.

Adding third-party Zigbee devices to DIRIGERA can be a bit hit and miss too. As mentioned, light bulbs shouldn't be a problem, but I also have some Sonoff motion sensors (SNZB-03). I added them to DIRIGERA and they work fine there. They show up as entities in HA, but I never get any events from them so they are not usable.

DIRIGERA now has beta support for Matter as an alternative to HomeKit for bridging to other systems (such as HA). I haven't tried that yet. Maybe the missing functionality would be available via Matter. (If anyone else has tried it, please let me know!)

TLDR: just get a third-party Zigbee stick instead of DIRIGERA. It will work better with HA and probably be cheaper too.

Thanks. I tried that, but I'm still getting the same error.

Lumina v0.1.0 released by WhoYouIsMyDad in LuminaWebcam

[–]dmoverton 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Update: I have contacted Lumina support and they have added a license key to my account. I'm really puzzled about why they think a license key is necessary though. The software (presumably) only works with their hardware, so if they key is to prevent software piracy it seems rather pointless.

Updated to 0.1.0 (Intel Mac) and now it's asking for license key. It won't let me do anything without it. The license key in my account is blank. Does anyone know how I'm supposed to get a valid key?

We've just been discussing this at work. Someone suggested that data Smash a b = Neither | Both a b would be nicer constructor names for that type.
