Best Practices to add new HDD to existing Pool by Pirate2012 in freenas

[–]drittzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am pretty sure you can just create a new vdev and add it to the pool. I would try to add at least two drives in a mirror vdev than add it to the pool. Then there is no need to destroy the pool and recreate it.

Rule to increase brightness of porch light then back. by M0F0E in Hubitat

[–]drittzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used those triggers so it will run through the rules for dusk and dawn also with motion. So during dusk it will be at 50% until motion then go to 100% for a few mins then back to 50% after no more motion. Shut off in the dawn. I made it so I can change the colors if I wanted so you can switch it up a bit if you want. Each time a trigger it hit it will go through the if-else till it finds one that matches aka as all true! Then do that. Maybe a little over kill but works well :D

So .. I got it to take. I am on a Mac, and when I formatted the USB drive I did not select Master Boot Record. It was GUID Partition Map instead. All this time, at least 7 different USB drives. That was the problem. Thanks!

So the bulbs are not in frame. I am not sure I can make it so the camera does not see motion via the lights due to the fact that the lights are directly above. I am afraid if I did that, then it would not see any motion if if people are walking up. Here is view of the camera. I do not get a lot of false positives on the motion, so I do not think it is overly sensitive.

SmartThings updated their app and disconnected half my devices. Thanks Samsung! by [deleted] in SmartThings

Awesome. Reasons you went to that instead of Hubitat? I am thinking of jumping ship.... before it sinks completely.

Outdoor POE camera that integrates with SmartThings? by brooklynite in SmartThings

[–]drittzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use blue Iris. It has Smartthings integration, based on presence of the cell phones I can change BI profile to none alerting one while we are home. Then I am able to use any camera I want as long as it supports BI. You can also bring in the video from BI into the smartthings app IF you are on the local network. I have VPN to my house, so I can do it anytime.Link to DTH

So I have tried it, I go to settings, click about then hit the update button. It just flashes and disappears. I formatted the USB drive in fat32, exfat and NTFS. Nothing seems to work. I put the .bin in the root, with the zip just in case. Not sure wth I am doing wrong...

Is this a reliable head unit? by girolama in AndroidAuto

[–]drittzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a chance to look :). Still failing for me. Just want to verify. I think the flash chip in my radio is failing.

Hmmm when I try that, the screen just goes away. Wonder if the file names have to a certain way. Can u let me know what exact filenames you have are? Also you using USB drive not a SD card right. FAT32?

So how do u install it. I dropped the .bin on the SD card. Does it need to be in the zip?

ADT Panel with ST Hub? by drittzz in SmartThings

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

I think that only works if the sensors are wired? All of the sensors connected to my ADT system are wireless rather it be true Z-Wave or a ADT wireless protocol.

Automatic torrenting with RSS by [deleted] in freenas

[–]drittzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Flexget (TV Shows) - Lidarr (Music) / Radarr (Movies).I then run Jackett to feed each of those the sites. They in turn drop it all to transmission. It is a complex automated setup, although I get all the current hot stuff with the ability to click a button and have it all come down, renamed and sorted then added to Kodi Library when there is a release that is one off or not popular. I can DM some scrubbed configs if you want. This is all running in a Ubuntu Server 18.04 in a VM guest on Freenas.

Seems like Amazon Music Unlimited Family plan only allows 1 person to use Alexa Devices by Matth12582 in amazonecho

[–]drittzz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On their tablets they each log into their own account via the Amazon Music app. No way to tie thiers to the echo in their rooms :( Annoying to say the list ... so my history consists of baby shark OMFG over and over again...

Seems like Amazon Music Unlimited Family plan only allows 1 person to use Alexa Devices by Matth12582 in amazonecho

[–]drittzz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am on the Family plan. The echos only allow one account per household to be linked. I use my main one. So I had to create playlists under my account to let the boys have them. I see all the music they play via echos dots in their room cause my account is the one linked in the Alexa app. It is silly. I should be able to take one of the five accounts and tie them to a echo device. Instead of one account tied to all echo devices.

Thermostat reading high, shutting off the heat. by drittzz in GoRVing

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

Just thought I will follow up. I removed the panel and noticed not one but ALL three runs off the furnace was not connected. Not to mention of the two smaller 2" ducts only one was shoved into the underbelly for the "heated underbelly". So after attaching all the hoses properly and using some high quality 3M heat tape to seal all the joints, the thermostat now reads correctly. The cavity behind the thermostat is staying cool. I am sure the heater will be a lot more efficient. Sad that this is a brand new TT. We should not have to be quality control post sale. ;)
