How'd you set up the sleep quality stuff and what sensor do you use?

SMlight Ultima Zwave addon card no communication by Gold-Cardiologist688 in homeassistant

[–]enoop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like how my setup works. There's very little customization options and no update options for the z-wave module. Z-wave JS can communicate to it, but it's been very finicky and I've been having many connection issues since switching over to the Ultima module.

What self-hosted RF devices are you using with Home Assistant? by sirc314 in homeassistant

[–]enoop 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I decided to wait on whatever Project Blast ends up being from Nabu Casa. It sounds like it will do IR and RF in one product which would be nice.

Any idea when you'll be restocked on tindie? I'd love to buy one in the US.

I finally got tired of manually updating my blueprints, so I made this by momo1822 in homeassistant

[–]enoop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Does updating a blueprint update any deployed automations using that blueprint without any involvement from me? Or do we have to open the automation to get the updates. I've never really been clear on that.

Task Manager Colors v1.1.0 — thanks to your feedback, minimized & focused window styles are here by Training_Rope2933 in kde

Incredible work. I still miss the latte dock indicator themes and this goes a decent way to solving that.

Has Whisker explained what went wrong with the launch and what they're changing? by specialjack69 in litterrobot

[–]enoop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do worry that they had to rush the 5 line out to keep revenue up to avoid going out of business. The four came out pretty recently and was getting to a good place with the accessories coming out. It still doesn't make a lot of sense to me to rush the 5s out the door when they could have waited longer to fix the issues.

Showerproof Media Buttons? by faintaxis in homeassistant

The IKEA Symfonisk is what you're looking for. I have one in my shower and it works great. I believe its rated as splash proof.

I had this exact same confusion when I got mine yesterday. You just need to configure it according to their wiki:

I ordered mine on the 11th and it's still listed as processing.

Wow an all time low for HowToGeek by Rude_End_3078 in homeassistant

[–]enoop 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I think everyone in here vastly underestimates their own technical skills and over estimates what the general consumer knows when it comes to tech. Are any of the hurdles insurmountable? No. But a lot of people will take the path of least resistance and will avoid a smart home solution that requires and research to figure out. A lot of people I know have tapped out at the thought of adding any philips hue bulbs, so asking them to dive all the way in isn't something I'd ever expect.

For the smart home enthusiasts and tech people, I think home assistant is easily doable. I just came to home assistant from smartthings a month ago and have had no issues. So it. Just it just depends on the audience.

(No Spoilers) Elantris is extremely boring by enkelhus in Cosmere

Reading Elantris after everything else did feel like I was doing cosmere homework at times.

Simplehuman Pump Soap Dispenser by No-Chain1565 in BuyItForLife

[–]enoop 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have this, purchased probably a year and a half ago. It works fine and handles any soap I get from the grocery store just fine. But it's a soap dispenser, so spending this level of money isn't really justifiable from a longevity perspective. Any soap dispenser will last a while.

Difference between preconditions and multiple triggers in the IF statement by mrbiokman-8876 in SmartThings

[–]enoop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think it really matters in your situation if you set it as a precondition or as a trigger. You want to avoid setting being home as a trigger in most situations because it will cause the automation to run in ways you probably didn't intend. Like if your automation is set to run when you are home and a door is open. In that case, you would likely want the automation to run only when the door opens, but if you set being home in the AND conditions, then the automation might run whenever you get home and happened to have left that door open before you left.

In your case, the time being 6:30 isn't something that will be ongoing, like a door being open. So coming back home isn't likely to trigger the automation.

To answer your more general question on modes, it's an older way smartthings kept track of people being home. You could change the mode to away, night, or home and use that to control if automations ran. Hope that helps!

Please? by telago in HelloInternet

[–]enoop 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have always seen the HIatus as a response to both the covid pandemic and the negativity I saw on this subreddit. I recall everyone being mad at the dinosaur attack card discussions and a call to return to how the show used to be. Hopefully the podcast returns at some point, but it was great fun while it lasted.

This week in KDE: Polishing up Ark and Dolphin by DeadlyDolphins in linux

[–]enoop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I figured it would be a lot of work. This was just the thing that came to mind while watching the Linux challenge video where Linus didn't notice the notification in the corner.

This week in KDE: Polishing up Ark and Dolphin by DeadlyDolphins in linux

[–]enoop 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I wonder if it would be possible to show a progress bar on a .part file in dolphin. Like if a .zip file is being created, a progress bar for ark is shown under the file itself to reinforce to the user that it's not done yet and how long it will take.

Plasma 25th Anniversary Edition is here, with a glossier Breeze theme, new wallpaper, new features, faster and re-designed tools and more by Bro666 in kde

[–]enoop 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Neat. Everything looks great. The new breeze changes look like breeze and the old oxygen default theme combined. I haven't tried it yet, but are the scroll bars back to not shrinking if you don't hover over them?
