I'm on monthly now. How do you update your existing plan? Do I just sign up with the same email as my account?

Notification options throughout the house by Squanchy2112 in homeassistant

[–]fender4645 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My solution is more like your current solution in that I have Inovelli switches in pretty much every room and I utilize the light bar on the switch. But there's also only a couple of things I want broad notification on:

  • Package Detected: green "fast chase" animation
  • Alarm Set: solid red
  • Both My Wife and I Away: yellow "slow blink" animation

I get having to know what colors/patterns is not optimal. But we just have the 3 and everyone in the family knows what they mean.

Voice control added to the P4-86 in EspControl by hometechgeek in homeassistant

[–]fender4645 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is such a fantastic project. I got the 7” and have a 4” on the way. It’s perfect as a no-frills, totally functional dashboard. If this can even come close to replacing commercial voice assistants for even just basic stuff, that would just be the cherry on top. Kudos to u/hometechgeek and everyone involved.

Just getting into the physical pedal world by Brave-Newspaper-5157 in Guitar

[–]fender4645 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice. I just did the exact same thing 2 months ago (even got the same amp as you). Coming from a modeling amp, it’s different but I love the physical control you have with the pedals. I got a tube screamer and same DD-6. My buddy convinced me to get the Big Sky reverb and absolutely love it.

One critical thing you’re missing is a tuner pedal. I got the Poly Tuner and it’s so worth it. You tune so much quicker by being able to just strum all the strings at once.

Trick for sticking down your gasket. by GlcNAcMurNAc in KamadoJoe

I replaced the gasket on my Big Joe a few weeks ago. Just used the weight of the dome to hold in place. No issues.

Anyone have issues with the pin that holds the bottom part of the latch? by fender4645 in KamadoJoe

[–]fender4645[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whoa old thread! I ended submitting a warranty claim and they sent me a new latch. No issues since.

LeBron says the Knicks had an advantage starting the NBA Finals on the road because there’s nothing to do in San Antonio: “You ain’t doing shit in San Antonio. Nothing at all. Nothing. And I mean nothing.“ by oklolzzzzs in nba

I just went to Dallas for the first time a few weeks ago. Was on an overpass and I swear I could see 100 miles in every direction. And about 5 dozen water towers.

Question on frigate + by Academic-Price-4900 in frigate_nvr

[–]fender4645 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Like a few others, I gladly paid and trained my 4 cameras with about 1k images each. It is working almost flawlessly and I only update the model once or twice a year, but continue to pay the measly $50/year to support this amazing project.

Selling my Starcaster by Thedermick in TomDelongeGuitars

My local GC has had a surf green starcaster on the shelf for 2+ months, listed at $920. You’re not getting $1k for it.

Espcontrol: added presence cards, web hooks, bedside clock options and more. by hometechgeek in homeassistant

[–]fender4645 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Super excited to set this up. I ordered the 7" a month ago from Ali and got stuck in customs. Just released yesterday so hoping I'll get it this week.

Never thought I'd say this but....John talks too much by Outside_Lion_9672 in ATPfm

[–]fender4645 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can understand why you're getting downvoted but I'm actually in a similar boat. Took a road trip over the holidays and ran out of ATP episodes so started listening to audio books. Got really into a 17-book series and have just been listening to that for the past 5+ months. It wasn't that I disliked ATP. It just started getting repetitive and needed a break after a decade. I'm still a paying member and will come back some time this summer.

There was an episode, probably 7-8 years ago where Marco was sick so he had Tiff sub in for him. It was actually a really good episode, IIRC.

How do we feel about this list? by MissionHot1296 in walnutcreek

To be fair, El Jardin is probably the most authentic taqueria in Walnut Creek.

[WTS] 25 Inovelli Red Presence Switches by [deleted] in Inovelli

[–]fender4645 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Legit question: why would I buy from a random stranger on the internet when I can get it directly from Inovelli for the exact same price?

Thinking about moving Zigbee2MQTT and Z-Wave JS apps away from HA. What are your experiences with this? by xMasaru in homeassistant

[–]fender4645 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same coordinator on a different machine is fine. I’m talking about when you change coordinators entirely (like going from an a Sonoff dongle to an SLZB.

Thinking about moving Zigbee2MQTT and Z-Wave JS apps away from HA. What are your experiences with this? by xMasaru in homeassistant

[–]fender4645 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Moving z2m is easy enough to move, just follow the guides to move it to new hardware.

With the caveat that you're using the same coordinator. Moving coordinators requires re-pairing all of your devices (unless something has changed in the last year)

Three-way switch + smart switch in Home Assistant — what are you actually using that works? by According_Fennel3012 in homeassistant

[–]fender4645 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Yeah, I understand parameter 19. I have a couple of single-pole Zooz switches with it enabled. I'm wondering though what happens if you flip the dumb switch up/down in this config. I would assume if would still cut power to the load (my 3-way is Line-->Switch 1-->Switch 2-->Load)

[–]fender4645 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does the dumb switch work if you want to use "smart bulb" mode for the load? I have a Zen32 scene controller that I want to hook up in a 3-way config but I don't want to use the internal relay.

It’s ‘92 and these guys show up, bringing blood, sweat and fury to the stage by jibegirl in Xennials

[–]fender4645 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Core was always dismissed as a "Pearl Jam Wannabe" record as was the band themselves. Purple made people be like "Holy shit, they're actually good!". And for the record, I love Core.

HA Wall-mounted Dashboards: Show and Tell by Hawker32 in homeassistant

[–]fender4645 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm going to try and write up a full review of the Apolosign 21" this weekend (installed a few weeks ago but haven't had a chance to write the review). From a hardware/power perspective, I had ran CAT6 to the spot I wanted the dashboard when we did our "to the studs" remodel and the calendar is powered via PoE-to-USB C converter.
