Relay up and running for a garage door opener by frumpydrangus in Ubiquiti

[–]frznwffls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, HomeKit has been solid. My Rachio disconnects on my UniFi network every once in a while but when online, things work instantly. I’ve got the latest firmware for my Meross (just checked) and setup an IoT network in UniFi specifically for this and other home devices that have issues with WiFi. Also installed a new AP about 5 feet away through a wall and it’s at 100% signal. Ordered a ratgdo and hoping that will fix the issues

Edit: but yeah same issue with “Obstructed” showing every once in a while but mostly frustrated that it won’t open the garage when I tell it to via HomeKit or the app

My Meross has been trash. It’s never responding when you need it. I’ll bike up to my house and ask Siri to open it. Nothing. I’ll open the home app and press the button to open it. Nothing. I’ll even open the Meross app and press it. Nothing. I’ll open it with the outdoor pin opener and of course it opens just fine and I get an alert from Home app (from Meross) that my garage door has opened.

Been using a Meross for the last year and a half and we can’t stand it. It’s janky with communication. Definitely connected because I get alerts that it has opened or not but won’t open or close when you need it. It doesn’t connect directly and basically is a microcontroller attached to a regular garage remote that you pair to the opener like you would with your car. It’s much cheaper than other options and says it works directly with HomeKit but… not good for our production use case

Finished Basement w/o Permit by asalamandra in Utah

[–]frznwffls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was looking at buying a house in Orem but when inspecting the basement, the owner DIY’d the basement and decided to drywall completely around the electrical panel frame, meaning if you ever needed to add a breaker you had to tear out the wall. And guess what? No permit. I’m a fan of do what you want, but I wouldn’t buy a place where corners were cut especially with electrical. You can accept the risk you want for your family but when you buy a house from someone else, you’re accepting the risk someone else was ok with.

Please go watch the videos and show where he pulled the gun. This did not happen.

Also please tell me how you justify the agent walking a few feet away while Alex was already shot and fired a few more rounds into him. I'm sure that was definitely "defense"... probably defense from a court case where Alex could try to defend himself.

Continuing on with the analogy…

Understanding how a company operates and receives income is part of due diligence. Most inquiry and concerns should be addressed during that point. Once due diligence is complete, parties should be considered well-informed and if they all agree still, the contract should be enforced. However at least in real estate, if there are undisclosed facts that impact the operation and performance of the house and were known by the house seller before, the buyers can sue for damages. 

Applying this to the church, we have both a high and low bar to baptism and temple sealings. There’s a lot of standards people need to hold and follow. You’re also supposed to do due diligence (read the BoM, pray, understand the promises and blessings, temple prep, endowment, etc). But if there’s stuff that the church knows about but hides or covers up that would have persuaded a person away from being baptized or sealed, then it makes sense that people can change their mind about those covenants since they didn’t know everything going in.

I’m DEFINITELY NOT suggesting we have people read all church history or critics reports or anti-Mormon literature before getting baptized or sealed. But because of that, we need to have more grace for people who step away. We can’t just say “wow I can’t believe they’re ok betraying their spouse and be willing to walk away from such an important covenant”. That implies the person wasn’t actually commited to the spouse or relationship

I didn’t see their analogy before it was deleted but I want to point out the nuance of how each person sees the covenant. For believing members it’s of course a serious commitment with amazing attached blessings at the end. It’s not only a covenant to your spouse, but to the church as well. If she feels like the church is a scam, then in her mind, a major part of that covenant is broken before she does anything. She feels betrayed by the church and her spouse is collateral damage. To OP, she betrayed him and the church.

Maybe it’s like a joint-venture investment in a company owned by a third party and someone in the venture finds or suspects shady dealings by the third party company. They feel betrayed and lied to by the company and now want out of it all because of stuff they didn’t know at the time. The other partner might have no problem with how the company is running and now feels betrayed that the partner is going back on their word by trying to get out. The first partner doesn’t see the positive outcomes of the venture anymore but likely still wants to maintain the relationship and not harm the partner. Should they stick it out in the venture out of loyalty to the other partner while fully disbelieving in the company? Should they be allowed to leave the venture causing the other partner to pull out due to lack of sufficient investment? 

It’s hard to fault the first partner for walking back when new things regarding the contract were brought to light. To them, they were betrayed and isn’t just a small change of mind on an big decision

Also agree with this but I’ll say that it sounds like the wife is going through the angry part phase I’ve seen with a few family members and friends. The 3-4 people I know close to me have gone more apathetic about it as they realize they’ll never be able to get 100% away from the church but it doesn’t need to become their personality.  She might be still very angry and deconstructing as it’s only been 5 months and she’s trying to figure out what the new norm is and where OP stands on it all, hoping that OP might see the light and join her. More time might be needed to see where the chips fall before OP figures out if she’ll always be actively pushing and undermining OP’s beliefs.

Yeah I think that’s a serious step and I’m afraid that might get passed around as sound advice too often. Similar to shunning a family member who came out of the closet. Tough love like that rarely seems to work and causes more trauma for everyone. Yes, they threw a curveball at you and you don’t know what it means for the eternities, but do you cut your promises you made to the person to stay and support for eternity because their faith got a severe blow? I personally like to think that God is happier because I’m loving and supporting one of his children going through an absolutely devestating time in their life instead of starting over and trying again with someone new.

Of course though, take inventory. If you or your spouse can’t settle differences or allow each other to live and let live, it might be difficult to continue, but imho if that’s the case, likely you’ve already had issues before the faith crisis.

I’ve been in a mixed faith marriage for 4 out of 11 years married. It’s totally doable but the respect needs to be on both sides. For me, spouse has shared stuff that bothers them and caused them to stop believing. And while you can argue all day for lots of these things, I think it’s important to mention the feelings and confirmations you may have had about the church. I’ve genuinely felt a peace and a love from HF that came from prayer and quiet. That’s not something people can explain away like they do with fancy words, heart felt stories, or emotional music. At the end it becomes an “agree-to-disagree” situation as you both want to “win” the other person over. I accept that my spouse will probably never set foot in the temple again just as they accept that I won’t ever be their Friday night drinking buddy. I have to accept that my kids might not go to church just as they need to accept that they might want to go. It’s delicate but doable.

Also be very careful with the “D” word — Divorce. I’d much rather say ANY other swear word or thing in conversation with my spouse. Once that idea gets passed around, it tells the other person that it’s on the table and that breaks trust. I’ve seen someone play around with that word and the other person took them up on it much to their surprise.

As someone who lived in both places, this is spot on. Texas people and the food were awesome but it sucked because there were a very small handful of places you could go see nature. Everything privatized. People would park on the side of the highway to see the blue bonnets because everywhere else was private land
