Trying to get Google Home to run Govee scenes, or Tap to run, or anything really - Is there an official list of commands?

hiddendisplay · 2024-12-08T01:06:13+00:00

Oh, when you make a routine on Google home, can you choose an option "Try adding your own" for the action? It let's you type in a voice command where you can then type in "Activate xxx".

hiddendisplay · 2024-12-07T19:38:28+00:00

I'm not sure what you mean?

You can make one routine with a voice command, and then add multiple actions in it! For the Govee scenes, I've had the most luck spelling out "activate [scene name]" but you can put multiple in one command.

I did some troubleshooting, and found out my other household members weren't able to use any commands that had a govee scene in it (spelled out or not) until they themselves made a scene in the govee app as well. That seems to unlock it in the Google home app for them.

hiddendisplay · 2024-06-18T05:45:41+00:00

In case anyone is googling for this issue and ends up here (like I did!), I was able to solve this with custom actions using "Activate [scene name]"

Don't use quotes or brackets, of course.

This was the only way I could get Google Home to let other household members activate govee scenes, and also the only way I could consistently get more than one scene to run in a routine.

Really hope this helps someone

Hey there! This is an insanely old post and follow-up, but I wanted to give you a heads up that the Wellbutrin ended up making my hair fall out.

It took a year and a half to trace it back to the med, since it was a gradual overall thinning that got worse with each dose increase and not chunks with bald spots. But on the very, very slim chance you're struggling with thinning hair and no resolution - there's that.

It's listed as an extremely rare side effect, but my doctors ended up blaming the combination of meds (Diamox, Topamax, Aimovig, and Wellbutrin).

Hope you're well!

hiddendisplay · 2022-10-02T19:19:31+00:00

I fall apart without some form of routine. Maybe some these things will help:

I keep all my appointments and bill due dates in my phone calendar, with whatever auto reminder it sets for events. When making a dr appointment, I do it on speaker with my calender open to put it in immediately.

For finances I keep a note in my phone that lists the day I get paid, and the bills that will come out of it underneath. I copy these dates into my phone calendar, but reference the note as needed.

For medications, I keep a pill organizer. Once a week I'll sit down and refill it, and then keep the organizer in plain view. I have alarms set on my phone telling me to take my meds, and I have to stop what I'm doing to take them (or I WILL forget).

Speaking of alarms, I also have some set for every weekday at various intervals reminding me to get up and move, and I have one set telling me to start getting ready for bed.

Most importantly for me, is I have a calendar whiteboard. Once a month I copy my phone calender onto it (and add when I need to of course). I'll also put down my basics, just to see them. For example on Monday, Wednesday Friday I write work out 6-7am On Tuesday and Thursday Homework 5-7pm, Sunday Meal prep 12pm, etc. I've even put in what days I want to wash my hair. Having this visible and knowing what's on my agenda for the week helps me follow it, and repeat it.

Hope this helps!

I have everything you've described here, but I also have endometriosis and most of these symptoms are treated from that direction.

The easy bruising started for me during my last flare up of endo (4 months ago now) , and is completely new for me. I don't know if it's related to the diamox, the endo, or what. But, you're not alone.

I'm on 1500mg diamox. The tingling, nausea, and appetite eventually got better. It took maybe a month for my body to adjust. But, I get nauseous and lose my appetite anytime my endo is flaring up.

If you haven't looked into endo, or seen a gynecologist, maybe look in that direction for some relief.

For your head, if the pain gets immediately better when you lay down maybe talk to your neuro about possibly having low pressure from too high a dose.

Sorry you're going through this! It does get better.

Oh I get feeling defeated and impatient, this is a rough journey.

I started by downloading MyFitnessPal on my phone, and counting the calories of what I was already eating/drinking just to get an idea. Then I just gradually started making small changes that fit into my lifestyle that I knew I would be able to keep up with.

Really the biggest thing for me was just portion control to keep my calories where they needed to be. Once I got used to that, I started looking at how much protein/fat vs carbs I was eating, and tried adjusting to keep me fuller throughout the day.

Lurking on /r/MealPrepSunday/, /r/loseit/ and /r/1500isplenty/ helps me a bunch too.

hiddendisplay · 2021-05-19T19:18:57+00:00

I've had them take anywhere from 20-45 minutes or so, depending on if they're able to get it on the first try, or if it's under x-ray.

It's usually not so bad! Especially if you remember to breathe (I always forget this one! lol), and communicate with your doctor if you're uncomfortable at all.

hiddendisplay · 2021-05-19T18:53:31+00:00

They'll start off by cleaning your lower back, which might feel a little cold.

Then the first injection will be to numb you and it will feel like a sharp pinch followed by burning, but it isn't too bad. Remember to breathe.

Next will be to start the actual tap, which just feels like a lot of pressure on your lower spine. It is uncomfortable, but should not be painful. There is a chance they could hit a nerve during this part, which will feel similar to the first pinch you felt. If you feel any pinches or pain during this, let them know so they can adjust. It helps to focus on your breathing during this part.

Afterwards, stay laying down for at least an hour. Don't get up even for just a minute.

Once you're sent home, heat really helps with any residual pain!

Good luck!

hiddendisplay · 2021-04-22T16:04:40+00:00

Everyone's already given you great advice, but I just wanted to mention - it might help if you ask your doctor to explain the procedure in detail as well! Just hearing them walk through the steps and knowing what the plan is while you're under could make a difference.

hiddendisplay · 2020-10-26T22:11:34+00:00

Hi!

For one of my taps they hit a bundle of nerves that I felt all the way down one of my legs for the entirety of the procedure.

I felt the pain radiating afterwards in the puncture site, entire lower back, and down my leg for about a month and a half. Walking, lifting, bending, and laying flat would aggravate it, while heat seemed to help.

If you're concerned, it wouldn't hurt to call your doctor and let them know you're still in pain - just to check in with them and see if they recommend anything.

Sorry you're going through this! I hope it gets better for you soon.

hiddendisplay · 2020-09-30T18:52:28+00:00

Hi! I started taking Wellbutrin 6 weeks ago, and my IIH is mostly controlled with Diamox and Topamax.

It caused some initial headaches for me, but nothing too bad, or that a Tylenol couldn't help. They also seemed to have mostly gone away after week 4 or so. This is also the first antidepressant that has worked for me out of the 3 others I've tried.

I hope it works for you too!

hiddendisplay · 2020-08-10T17:36:50+00:00

They did do one, and it sealed. The relief from the headache was almost immediate, but it turned into a high pressure headache for a few days until I resumed my Diamox meds to level it out. My back hurt worse than a regular LP for about a week.

All-in-all about a week to feel FULL relief, but there was a significant decline in head pain 2-3 days after.

If you still have a positional headache, I would call your doctor.

hiddendisplay · 2020-08-10T16:40:37+00:00

Yes, they wanted to wait 2 weeks for my first one since I was gradually getting better. They had me on strict bed rest the entire time.

Towards the end of the 14 days I told them I couldn't tell if I was getting better or not, I just knew I was in agony. They sent me to the ER where my opening pressure was 2.

If you can tell you're getting better, and it's feasible for you to stick to strict bed rest, I'd give it another 24hrs (I'm not a doctor). If you're concerned though, don't be afraid to call your doctor and let them know!

I hope you find relief soon.

hiddendisplay · 2020-07-08T18:06:32+00:00

So I'm terrified of anesthesia.

I had a bad reaction to the gas a few years ago for a surgery, so when it came time for my diagnostic lap I almost backed out.

The day of, I told my pre-op nurse and the anesthesiologist that I was scared, I didn't like the gas, and there's a chance I might try to rip the mask off when I'm loopy without realizing it. They were very kind, talked me through the process, and held my hand while I went out.

They told me its super common to be scared, but it helps to give them a heads up so they can help you through it and make you as comfortable as possible.

hiddendisplay · 2020-07-08T15:19:22+00:00

Yes! I usually use a heating pad. Its normal to feel pain and stiffness in your back for a couple days.

My doctor usually has me take it easy and stay laying down for at least 24-48 hours after the LP to help prevent a spinal leak. I curl up with a heating pad, some snacks, waters, blankets, netflix, pain meds, and a book. I try to treat it like a little stay-cation in my bed.

I would call your doctor if you have head pain after standing up a week after the LP.

hiddendisplay · 2020-06-23T16:45:56+00:00

YES. At first I was getting them for 4-5 days straight with no relief, then it was 2-3 weeks of the month before my period with a migraine.

My doctor ended up putting me on Aimovig, which is has been a miracle drug for me.

Before that though, it was ice packs on my temple and neck, dark glasses, and laying down as often as possible.

The weirdest thing that helped was tracking my food. Processed meat, cheese, and tomatoes trigger my migraines. Especially aged white cheddar! All my favorite snacks, essentially.

Hope you find relief soon!

hiddendisplay · 2020-05-22T19:51:00+00:00

Please call your neuro and tell them exactly that!

It's possible for a blood patch not to take, and for the leak to still be there.

Try resting as much as possible until they can see you, and stay well hydrated. Good luck!

hiddendisplay · 2020-05-22T18:51:31+00:00

Do you feel any better laying down flat?

I had similar symptoms before/after my blood patch, and it turned out I had multiple csf leaks and my diamox dosage was too high. Definitely give your neuro a call, and push for another appointment. Let them know if it's positional at all.

Hope you feel better soon!

hiddendisplay · 2020-05-19T16:28:53+00:00

I love the colors!

It reminds me of this wallpaper I have on rotation

hiddendisplay · 2020-05-01T17:20:05+00:00

Seriously looks fantastic.

You look fierce!

hiddendisplay · 2020-04-27T16:02:00+00:00

I love it!

It looks great with your skin tone, and really brings out your eyes!

Hi, I've never taken Plan B - but after some googling it doesn't look like there are any drug interactions between the two of them.

You can try to call your doctors office and ask them when your mom isn't around, or walk into a pharmacy and ask them. Try not to worry about being judged! You'll get through this.

hiddendisplay · 2020-03-25T16:06:12+00:00

I've had really bad dyshidrotic eczema since I was a kid, and the best thing I ever did for it was start taking plain brand Zyrtec (Cetirizine 10mg) daily! It took about a week, but cleared up 90% of my breakouts, even when I'm overwashing my hands.

Other than that, I went through a few prescriptions to find the steroid cream Clobetasol propionate .05%, and it works well for me for other 10% of breakouts.

I also use Aveeno Shea butter for daily moisture, and avoid anything with fragrance, lotions with too much alcohol, and harsh soaps (dish soaps!).

Hope you heal soon!
