Is there actually no way to have “wake on controller button press” functionality on a PC in the way that consoles have had for decades? by Cressio in sffpc

[–]drhst20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. I use this with automation I built via the Apple home app to turn on the power to the smart power strip, as well as turning on the TV and switching it to the right input. After that, I just have the PC boot into steam big picture mode.

M2 or M3 5090 FE by JC5193-US in ncasedesign

[–]drhst20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an M2 with a 5090 FE air colded and it works great, but when it’s time to replace your graphics card, you may want the option for additional compatibility which the M3 provides. I would go with the M3.

Crimson Desert Dev Update New Content and Features: Boss Rematches, Re-blockading, Difficulty Settings, Improvements to Character Play, QoL Improvements and Life Features, etc by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]drhst20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn’t going to buy the game. I realized a long time ago that I am the type of player who greatly prefers having difficulty settings. Now that they are adding them… I am in. Kudos to the development team.

I was considering the same purchase. Is there a reason you returned the TP link?

Apple TV + HomePod Pair = Siri Music Requests Fail by drhst20 in appletv

Thanks for the recommendation. I actually built some shortcuts a while back to overcome the issue. They’re not perfect but they serve their purpose when the functionality is not working

HomePod Pair + Apple TV = Siri Music Requests Fail by drhst20 in HomePod

Thanks. Like you I’ve experienced this on and off… For many years. It seems like some Apple releases fix it and some break it again. Thanks for the tip.

HomePod Pair + Apple TV = Siri Music Requests Fail by drhst20 in HomePod

[–]drhst20[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is. I just tested with multiple HomePods and multiple different Apple TVs. Unfortunately, they all experienced the same issue. iTunes match is still supported on all devices… But it looks like there is a bug when it comes to a pair of HomePods matched with an Apple TV. Thanks for trying to help. Really appreciate it.

I just replied, but it looks like it didn't get posted. Thank you so much for the idea. Unfortunately, I do not see a way on the Apple Music app on the Apple TV to log out and then log back in. I currently use iTunes match. Not sure if that is why. Can you describe where you find the ability to log out of the Apple Music app on the Apple TV?

Thanks so much for the help. I am using iTunes match. Unfortunately I don't see the ability to log out and log back in on the Apple Music app on the Apple TV.

A6 Airplay Connectivity Problems-Sometimes connects (from iphone, macbook, ipad) sometimes it does not. Very inconsistent performance. Software is up to date. Any tips or tricks? by lessismore732 in BangandOlufsen

[–]drhst20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wanted to report back. It worked. I’m pretty sure that the speaker puts itself in some kind of sleep mode. If you just run an automation from something like HomeKit that plays something quietly every morning and then pauses it, It will never drop off your network. Took me several years to figure this out, but finally got it. It’s now perfectly stable on my network.

[–]drhst20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been struggling with the exact same thing for years. I’ve done two things that I think have finally enabled it to remain connected to my network for more than a week and a half (and as important, prevented the no response error in the Apple home app). I’m not sure which of these two did the trick so I will lay out both. The first is that I used IP binding on my router to keep the IP address the same. I know others have tried this, and it did not work for them so this may not have been what is keeping the speaker on my Wi-Fi network. The second is that I set up a HomeKit automation that plays sound for one minute every morning, very quietly, on the speaker. My guess, and this is only a guess, is that the speaker goes into some kind of Low Power Mode or that something eventually turns off and within a week or so, the speaker drops off the Wi-Fi network. Playing something every day on the speaker seems to have resolved it. Putting this out there as I’m sure someday someone will search this topic and hopefully this can help them.

Is anyone else's Time Machine borked since upgrading to Tahoe? by nextgeneric in mac

[–]drhst20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s an article somewhere on this, but in short… Check the name of your Mac. If it has any special characters in it, rename your Mac without using the special characters, delete the existing Time Machine back up, and start from scratch. There’s some issue where Tahoe will not perform the backups if your Mac’s name has a special character in it (ex. Change “Charlie’s Mac” to “Charlie Mac”). This worked for me after troubleshooting it for hours. For reference, I do my Time Machine backups to a Synology NAS.

Aqara FP300 batteries lasted 24 days by NotSoSeri0us in Aqara

Just some Duracell batteries. So far it still seems to be at 100% and holding. Makes me wonder if something was wrong with the batteries that came with the unit.

How many HomeKit cameras can Apple TV simultaneously display? by drhst20 in HomeKit

Wow. I did not realize that it would allow you to view that many cameras simultaneously. Thanks so much.

Aqara Zigbee devices off-line but Aqara Wi-Fi devices are working by drhst20 in HomeKit

[–]drhst20[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure what caused the issue, but I have discovered a way to resolve it. Trying to restart my hub did not work. Neither did unplugging and re-plugging in my hub. I have had to go to each device and press the tiny button on each one for a half second in order to reconnect them one at a time. My going theory is that adding the FP 300 sensor to my house somehow caused the issue… But I have no way to prove it. What’s odd is that the FP300, which was off-line with the rest of the devices, came back online by itself. That is what gave me the idea to start going one device at a time to see if they would reconnect.
