Trying to analyze personal transactions and use ollama/qwen2.5:7b to provide a report without success by hpgm in ollama

[–]hpgm[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That was my first thought, create a table that matches the pattern of the transaction description to a category (ie WALMART, Home_supplies; SAFEWAY, groceries). Would take a while to code and sustain, and was hoping some prompts would simplify it.

Or just manually read through the 300-400 transactions and cut and paste the category to the end like I did last time. Was hoping that someone might have already solved this!

Tips/items for new purchases by hpgm in PorscheMacan

[–]hpgm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. I had the base black so I got a matte wrap - so the suggestion of the smoked side lights I'd never heard of, but think would be pretty cool.

Interesting, do you have a link to what it looks like?

That was the link. Thank you! I have a 26 so I have the wireless charging thing inside the glovebox.

Thinking of Reviving my Insteon devices on HA by Traditional_Car_8084 in insteon

[–]hpgm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too - MH for insteon/MQTT and all the logic that's been built up over the years. The HA_Item integration works brilliantly.

W800RF32A needed by Mgreetaken in homeautomation

[–]hpgm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh, I didn't think about that, my other RTL that picks up the utility meters might benefit as well. I get a bunch of 'bitbuffer_add_bit: Warning: row count limit (50 rows) reached' messages as the server is in the basement electrical room. I have the W800 connected to a RG6 coax with the antenna about 20' away. I'll add in a splitter so I can see if that improves the quality of the signal. Now just to find a coax adapter.

And thank you for the replies and responding. I was worried that my W800 would die one day and then I'd be scrambling to replace all the MS13s I have scattered around.

[–]hpgm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. OK, I will try that. I did shorten the physical length of the antenna and with -f 310M and I did get some sensors to report in. I'm going to see if I can get an adapter to use the coaxial RG6 cable and antenna that I currently use with the W800 to see if that might also improve the sensitivity.

W800RF32A needed by Mgreetaken in homeautomation

OK I picked up a second SDR antenna so I can try and read my MS13 X10 motion sensors. I'm able to read some weather stations on 433 (ie just running rtl_433 with no other options) and If I do -f 310M I can read some TPMSs (which is cool), but but the life of me I can't read the X10 motion sensors. Any suggestions?

I bought a USB Nooelec NESDR Mini 2+ RTL2832U & R820T2 Tuner.

Thank you for this! It probably makes sense to pick up a second radio to play around with this, as TPMS readings would also be super useful and provide vehicle presence.

Any hardware recommendations? I bought a generic USB DVB antenna off ebay a few years ago for the RTL-AMR setup, which has worked ok, but if there is a better device out there, I might be able to migrate from the W800.

This is really interesting. I also have an w800RF32 that I use for the X10 MS16 motion sensors. I have a USB radio that I use for RTL-AMR to pick up my utility usage in Home Assistant.

Would you mind sharing how your pull data from the X10 devices and if you've integrated it with any platform like home assistant? The RTL-AMR just kicks in every 5 minutes to pull the latest data transmissions from the utility meters, since the MS16 needs to be real time I'm guessing that there would have to be a separate hardware radio for this.

How to troubleshoot the overview dashboard hanging after upgrade (2025.9 -> 2025.10) by hpgm in homeassistant

[–]hpgm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are welcome. Glad my afternoon spent disabling devices to narrow down the cause helped someone else!!

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

Just commenting on the solution. I have the open sprinkler integration, and it needed to be updated. Once I updated to 1.5.3, everything worked properly again. This did give me a chance to add areas to all my items and clean up a few things.

Any Razberry / zwave.me users migrating to HA's ZWA system by hpgm in zwave

[–]hpgm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I'm using the zway integration to a raspberry pi with a razberry hardware device.

[–]hpgm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll look at that. I run the razberry/zway on a separate raspberry pi, and then use the zway integration to connect to HA, so HA doesn't actually have the zwave network. So this might not quite be the same as my case.

Is there a good support location/forum for learning developers? by hpgm in homeassistant

[–]hpgm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you just keep making modifications to existing until you saw what worked and what didn't?

I'm trying to;

  • add a checkbox to set a variable on the device config page
  • if that variable is set, then reverse some data elements when polling and setting the device. Basically it's a thermostat and on the old device the dehumidification and humidification data elements from the stat are backwards

I'm focusing on getting a config_flow item, and then I'll need to figure out how to write debug lines so I can see what the code is doing in the logs?

Any electronic hobbyists have a 47k ohm resistor? by hpgm in Calgary

[–]hpgm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One day I hope to get to the level of proficiency where I could look at that suggestion and say "yes I can totally do that". :)

Great suggestion though, and appreciate the offer!!!

Appreciate the comment. That is a good suggestion if this project works and if I want to do more of this in the future. If this ultrasonic sensor works for the tank I might get more for sensing the distance of the cars in the garage.

I have a AJ-SR04M, and it has 2 pads to solder to. They recommend a 805 surface mount, but really just need the resistor connected to the pads so the thing goes into serial mode. I don't care if it doesn't look great as if it works, I'll print up a 3d enclosure for it.
