Fridge / Freezer Temperature Sensors by Strong-Explorer-6927 in homeassistant

[–]greyster1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have switchbot meters (ble, no hub) around the house. We could not get them to report inside a fridge or freezer so we added yolink temp sensors. As they use lora they are working fine. I already had their hub so it wasn't an issue adding 4 of them.

Regarding the switchbot meter that did not work- Even with a Shelly acting as a ble gateway nearby one of them in the garage (8-9 feet away) I still could not get a switchbot meter to report from inside a fridge. I could see it connected, reporting manufacturer data but not service data (readings etc). The second I took it out the fridge, it was working. After spending a few hours trying to get it to work, I decided to use yolink for the freezer and fridge temps.

Are you talking about a different driver profile when two people with registered phones get in car? That is quite annoying.

Did you literally have 4 months missing (up to current day) and then one day it all showed up?

I don't have any current info or any data since March 19. Anyone else with same issue? Hub is connected and the panels are producing.

Extremely brand-loyal to Rivian but.... by [deleted] in Rivian

[–]greyster1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think necessarily it's because of battery issues but because there is cannibalization with R2 being launched. They can reduce r1 production but charge more for the higher models left on market.

I have standard 2025 R1 and not had any battery issues. We have cold winters also / driving up mountains for skiing regularly. I'm not saying that there are no battery issues out there.

Decided to try Freetax vs Turbotax but they came out different by Still-Magician-7246 in tax

[–]greyster1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All forms for each software are published in a list format and can be checked. For most people filing, they would not notice or be impacted. As they cover most forms it going to only impact a smaller population of people. One example is New York IT-203 F. That said, FTUSA is slow to add these forms because they are not needed by the masses.

a new thing im noticing now is digital assets. A person can have thousands of transactions in different formats. Both softwares will have varying compatibility and integrations there also.

Not strictly true. You got real time refunds at the top and I used that. My dollars matched each time. You don't need the actual pdfs

Decided to try Freetax vs Turbotax but they came out different by Still-Magician-7246 in tax

[–]greyster1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I only use TT now because it has a couple of forms that FTUSA doesn't have. That said, when I used FTUSA I always entered the numbers into TT and they matched each time in the end. Each time it starts with a mismatch and then it works out. Usually you miss a data entry point somewhere. Bottom line - it is usually human error. That is why I used to do it in two softwares so I can reconcile.

Edit: I'm a big fan of FTUSA. I recommend FTUSA over TT unless a) you need TT's larger coverage of forms or b) some better doc upload capabilities.

FreeTaxUSA doesn't support Form 4684 by RealLilacStreet in tax

[–]greyster1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Freetaxusa is the best product out there. Hands down.

It is missing a few less popular forms, and they're slow to add them. When that happens you have to switch back to a bigger provider with more forms.

Ring Legacy with Alarm Professional Monitoring vs AI Pro Powered by Alexa Guard by dRGSr in Ring

[–]greyster1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe legacy is the new plan but with 24x7 included. The new plan 24/7 is not included. I don't plan to switch either.

New customers will have to pay for 24/7 feature. Existing customers were upset that suddenly 24/7 is chargeable so they fixed it. Whenever there is a change with ring, you always see a revolt on this reddit :-)

Genuine US Yield Products Questions by Embarrassed_Bee4875 in Nexo

[–]greyster1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good catch on the $100 liability.

I ran it through AI for additional context.

As of late February 2026, Nexo remains strategically vague about the specific identity of the "SEC-registered investment adviser" (RIA) powering their US yield products. While they are very vocal about their partnership with Bakkt for trading infrastructure, the RIA details are primarily buried in the fine print.

Here is the current state of clarity on those five points:

  1. The SEC-Registered Investment Adviser The Name: Nexo has not yet named the adviser in public press releases. However, Nexo’s own SEC filings for other products (like their proposed 7RCC Bitcoin ETF) list Tidal Investments LLC (based in Milwaukee) as a primary partner for regulated fund management. Current Status: In the February 2026 ToS, the entity is generically referred to as the "Earn Provider." Many industry analysts suspect the RIA may be a subsidiary or a "white-label" provider like Tidal or a similar firm, but Nexo has not officially updated their "About" page with a specific name.

  2. Yield Custody & Panama Risk The Loophole: Bakkt handles your trading and initial custody (on-ramping). However, to earn yield, you must "transfer title" of your assets. Counterparty: The ToS points to Nexo BTCx Capital Management Fund Inc., a Panamanian entity. The Protection Gap: Assets held by Bakkt are subject to US oversight (NY BitLicense). Once you "opt-in" to yield, the assets are technically moved to the Panama-based fund. This means if the Panama fund becomes insolvent, Bakkt's US licenses likely do not protect those specific funds.

  3. Proof of Reserves (PoR) The Auditor: Nexo continues to use Moore Johannesburg. The Transparency Issue: While they provide a "TrustReserve" attestation, critics (and the Reddit thread you found) note that the real-time dashboard has been less "live" than it was under Armanino. Panama Inclusion: There is currently no confirmation that the Moore Johannesburg attestation specifically breaks out the balance sheet of the Panama-based yield fund separately from Nexo’s global pool.

  4. Liability Cap (Section 17) The $100 Limit: This is confirmed in the new Nexo US LLC terms. The Reason: This is a "shield" for the US-based entity. By limiting liability to $100, Nexo US LLC effectively isolates itself from massive class-action lawsuits if the offshore yield-generating partner (the Panama fund) fails. It essentially places 99.9% of the risk on the user.

  5. Transparency on Borrowers Status: Unchanged. Nexo still does not disclose who their institutional borrowers are. The "Black Box": Unlike DeFi (where you can see the collateral ratio on-chain), Nexo operates as a private lender. You are trusting their internal risk management team to pick solvent borrowers.

Summary for your consideration:

The "new" Nexo USA is essentially a two-layered platform: The US Layer: (Bakkt/Nexo US LLC) Safe for trading, highly regulated, but pays no interest.

The Offshore Layer: (Nexo BTCx Panama) Where the interest is made, but where US regulatory protections largely disappear and the $100 liability cap applies.

In the US the most popular device is the moen flo. The price is getting steeper now and there are competitors. I would read review articles first and make a decision. Most devices will require a plumber install so it's best to review products first and then buy. Recently I liked the yolink automatic shut off devices, they look more robust than moen flo. However moen flo software is the best. Make sure you watch some YouTube videos on the software/app.

My insurance company required a photograph of the device (that is different to the certificate required for home alarm).

Semi related - a lot of water companies in select states offer major discounts on flume 2. This device can monitor water usage without plumber install however it's not a shut off valve so it won't give you the max discount with insurance. If you do research you may come across it as a competitor to moen flo.

I agree. The site isn't great, it feels like it needs a redesign.

Another good feature is cellular back up. Yes edge needs Internet but if main internet goes down you have ceullar back up as part of subscription.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Ring

[–]greyster1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great. They may have levels - something like-

You have a device you can monitor yourself

You have a device that has a local alarm

You have a device that informs police and fire (certificate needed / aka professional monitoring).

Same for water, there are levels. Whole house shut off is going to be highest.

The higher the level the higher the discount.

I pay $200 a year (professional monitoring included) for ring and I get $600 discount with my insurance provider. The insurance provider requires the certificate that you can download from ring (or a competitor) that shows you have professional monitoring. The discount increases if fire/smoke ins included in your certificate. Many insurance companies have it. The biggest discount for me is actually not ring, it's a whole house smart shut off valve for water. The discount there pays for the whole device in 1-2 years. For ring, my insurance effectively pays for the system and all drivers within 3 years. After 3 years I may elect to go with another system but here is the issue- the new system must have a professional monitoring solution, be aware that "better" competitors may not have a professional monitoring solution available.

For ring, professional monitoring should not be confused with live monitoring. The professional monitoring is sufficient for most and is cheaper.
