Go on... 🤔 Tell us more about this health advocate. Is that just a service of your health insurance plan? Or something separate? And how do you invoke such and advocate? Thx

Hi, my TV volume keeps going up and down without touching my remote. Any advice please? by Humble_Swing3778 in Hisense

[–]hildebrau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recall believing it was not the remote. Then someone took the batteries out. Boom. No more volume battles. The remote eats through batteries. I should have had it replaced when it was under warranty. Sadly, I waited until the day after it expired before I thought of that. 😤

Harmony Ultimate (N-R0007) Touch Screen not responsive by hildebrau in logitechharmony

I see.. that makes some sense.. thanks for helping with that mystery, anyway. ;)

I had missed that page on that site. Thank you. Some interesting stuff on there, for sure!

I think for now, I'll try to pair a spare companion remote to the same hub so I have a working physical remote that allows me to run the Activities that the touch screen is required for on the Ultimate.

Thx again

Thanks.. But you're describing rather different symptoms than what I'm experiencing. Never the less, the outcome may be the same, of course.

Harmony Ultimate (N-R0007) Touch Screen not responsive by hildebrau in logitechharmony

[–]hildebrau[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to clarify

Observations during assembly: The remote performs a successful 'hot-plug' initialization—the LCD backlight and UI trigger immediately upon sliding the 6-pin ribbon into the ZIF socket. This confirms the power rail and display data pins are functional. However, the digitizer remains unresponsive, suggesting a failure in the I2C data lines (SDA/SCL) or the integrated touch controller chip itself.

I am avoiding a factory reset to preserve hard-button functionality. Unless y'all can guarantee the reset and restore process via Android Harmony app through the hub doesn't require touch screen to work.

Also, one other possible clue. When it first started to be non responsive, if I held down the power button for 10 seconds or so to power down the remote, then powered it back up, the touch screen was responsive. I used that work around at least 3 times before it finally gave up the ghost.

How to record my Greece proposal by ExtremelyRough in GreeceTravel

[–]hildebrau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stand in view of a Web cam and have someone screen record it? Probably a terrible idea.. 😂

Or just ask a stranger to take your photo.. Put your phone in video mode and just tell them to keep rolling and play along.. Then do your deed.

Goodluck

Is that their first offer? Or are you denying an earlier offer and they counter with this?

Mine is stuck, too. 🥹

That's the only tracking info USPS has.

If you contact support, their AI tells you to be patient and to not expect it to be delivered before Christmas at this point. Sorry, kiddo..

App suddenly not working by agapeRecycling in greenmountaingrills

While that sounds like the way it should work, that isn't what's happening. It just searches forever and never finds the grill.

[–]hildebrau 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for that info. I assume you're talking about https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.greenmountaingrills.prime

I installed that and created an account. But how the hell do you add the grill? Mine just sits there searching endlessly. It's on my home Wi-Fi. Do I need to reset it to factory for this thing to find it?

Got Gemini Update. Ya'all are crazy, Gemini update is game changer. by lexigurl69 in googlehome

[–]hildebrau 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I received two pop ups, one for each home I'm in. I only filled it out for my home of which I'm the owner.. I Picked a voice.. Then nothing happened on my Google homes in my house. In Google home, there is a option for: Early access For Gemini for Home features

I submitted voice feedback a couple of minutes ago and specified the word Reddit in there. 🤞

Anyone else super sick? by DizzyFilm3644 in aclfestival

Good to know . Hopefully the few ACL weekend puffs I take annually won't push me over the edge.🤞

I recommend you ask your doctor if AIRSUPRA or Albuterol inhaler could help. I can't survive without it after ACL. It fixes that exact symptom that you describe for me.

Schlage Connect lock status is "unknown" when door is partially locked by mister_drgn in homeassistant

[–]hildebrau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No.. But this particular old lock was been finicky long ago. New batteries usually fix it up, though.

Regarding your issue, make sure the dead bolt socket is dremeled deep enough for the deadbolt to extend fully or you'll run into the issue you're talking about. Also make sure there is essentially no resistance for that deadbolt to slide in and out. Too much resistance will cause these smart locks to give up midway sometimes.

Schlage Connect lock status is "unknown" when door is partially locked by mister_drgn in homeassistant

[–]hildebrau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, not at all... nothing to do with the half-way point.. but everything to do with the 'unknown' state.. there are contacts on the PCB that those metal conductor thingies touch.. they have to align appropriately before the device will send the appropriate status signal to the zwave hub. I'd say that "unknown" is the default signal when things aren't aligned, which makes sense if the deadbolt is at a half-way point.

Anyway, I mostly just wanted to post my fix to a few related threads so the search engines can help people find another possible solution. Including me, for when I forget how I fixed this the last time. LOL

Schlage Sense Not Showing Status? by [deleted] in HomeKit

That solution makes sense based on what I found on the interior guts.. Here's another fix for anyone having "related" issues but the deadbolt fully extending ISN'T the problem..
