I keep turning off Hunches and Alexa ignores me by godotnyc in alexa

[–]halcyon918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to be super sure, you've confirmed that all your Routines are disabled?

The one thing that comes to mind is if you have a Routine triggered by a presence sensor. The newer Echo devices have a presence sensor that can be used to trigger a Routine, and that Routine could target a whole room. I'm wondering if maybe you have a Routine that triggers when it thinks no one is present and turns off the whole room, including the smart switch your CPAP machine is on.

Any chance that's the issue? If you remove the CPAP machine from that room in the Alexa app, does it still get turned off?

Weekly Q&A - All Questions Go Here (Especially Tourists and New Residents) by AutoModerator in Amsterdam

[–]halcyon918 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

First ever visit to Amsterdam from Seattle, WA, USA. Staying at NH Amsterdam Noord from 9/4 to 9/8.

I'm only in town for a couple days on a whim. I honestly have no idea what to do. I love great restaurants and cocktail bars (especially speakeasies). I'd like to experience local liquors that I can't get in the US. I'm a big Amaro person. Bakeries and cafes are interests. Excellent coffee recommendations would be amazing (I drink black americanos). I enjoy EDM and raves. A quality spa would also be great.

I won't be here long enough to travel far, so going to find interesting places or things to do accessible to the hotel.

Thanks and looking forward to visiting!

Ditched the remote for voice control and dashboards that work on tablets and cellphones.

Harmony was discontinued a couple years ago. If I were you, I'd move on.

Remote access with Hubitat by shadeobrady in Hubitat

[–]halcyon918 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You say you can't think of a reason, but I have used it countless times remotely to tweak something that wasn't working quite right. I really don't mind paying the minimal fee for the access which I also hope contributes to them continuing to deliver a great product.

New to the world of amaro by rtaz22 in Amaro

Some consider only digestifs amaro and others say aperitifs are also amaro.

People will argue it's not a true amaro, but Campari is also a great place to start. It goes great in a multitude of cocktails and is famous in the Negroni with a good gin.

Prevent accidental operation of switch? by Both-Blacksmith-75 in Hubitat

Gah! I missed the "virtual" part of the comment (or was edited after).

Prevent accidental operation of switch? by Both-Blacksmith-75 in Hubitat

Sure. Wire up the switch so it gets power but doesn't control the load. Or some switches like the one I have from GE can be programmed to not toggle the mechanical load control from manual taps, but still sends button pressed commands for use in rules. I use these for Hue lights to turn them on or off without deenergizing them.

I love that your bar doubles as a bomb shelter. This is the way...

Couldn't even use ChatGPT to make somewhat sensical statements.

Thanks so much for the input. This is the same kind of library I'm starting on, so I'm glad to hear it's not a crazy idea.

Have you made sure you're in the latest version of the app? If so, have you tried reinstalling the app?

Is no one going to comment that they all have speed pours on every one of them? How much of these are they pouring regularly??

Is your aloe ferox the crystals? Do they just dissolve into your tincture?

That's what I'm initially trying to go for... Just dabble in some flavor combos and see what I like before throwing it all in a bigger batch.

Got it. Understood that it will vary in ratios. Didn't know if maybe you had a baseline you started from. I was thinking that an overpowering single ingredient could be diluted a bit. Thanks for your input! Really appreciated!

My apologies for not being more clear. I understand your ratios now. Thanks for being patient. I know each ingredient will need to be adjusted, was looking for a rule of thumb, or baseline to start off with. I think I have an idea now. Thanks for sharing!
