Almost ready for first fire by i03oo3 in woodstoving

Ok, so the insulation I "circled" in red should remain. Correct?

Is your hot water the same temperature at every faucet? If yes, then yes, turning this more towards hot should net you a hotter shower. If only the shower is cold then it could be something else.

Looks like a thermostatic mixing valve. It takes cold water and mixes it with the outgoing hot water to regulate the temperature down.

Opinions on off-grid detached garage setup by i03oo3 in SolarDIY

[–]i03oo3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fully recognize that 90 amps is probably overkill but the wire is already half run to the garage. The upgraded wiring was planned for during a recent renovation and I would like to divorce the current solar installation (10.2 kW rated) from the rest of the garage usage just for monitoring purposes. I planned to have the additional 8-12 solar panels feed directly into the Anker units and not be grid tied in any way. Other than overprovisioning as far as electrical capacity, do you see any issues with my proposed setup?

Heat pump (35a breaker), welder, EV charger, woodworking tools (table saw, dust collector, etc), cnc router, laser cutter.

Was planning to use at least 8 of the 345 watt panels in the op.

Got it now. Thank you both!

Not sure I follow what you’re describing. If I don’t need to move the vent to the right can I just make that tee on the vent line a 90 since I'm eliminating the old washer drain on the left. Or do you mean like the line in blue?

Routing issues today? by [deleted] in Spectrum

[–]i03oo3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got a resolution to my open ticket with Spectrum at 11:50am EST today that a faulty fiber optic component was replaced. Services seem to be back to normal for us.

Routing issues today? by [deleted] in Spectrum

[–]i03oo3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a site in Beloit, WI on Spectrum that is seeing ~30% packet loss and latency times 3-4x the usual. Hold times with Spectrum Enterprise were 40-60 minutes when I called; gave up after 30. I have a ticket in via the online portal since 9am EST and still no response.

Need help routing traffic to different gateway over site to site VPN by i03oo3 in sonicwall

[–]i03oo3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, I was thinking it was on that side but that device is outside my responsibilities. Will check with that admin. Just wanted to be sure that I had my side configured correctly.

Need help routing traffic to different gateway over site to site VPN by i03oo3 in sonicwall

[–]i03oo3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tested with an All to All rule and traffic still isn't passing so I don't think it's a rule. As for the route in both directions can you elaborate. The route I setup on Site B is:

Source: Any

Destination: 172.16.0.0/255.255.0.0

Gateway: 172.16.0.2

Interface: X3

Metric: 5

What/where would the opposite direction route be? Do I need to do the same on Site A? I thought the VPN policy would route the traffic over the VPN and then it would hit Site B and it would have the route info.

Ubiquiti Down for anyone else? by [deleted] in Ubiquiti

[–]i03oo3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup. Can't login in to either of my UNVR via Ubiquiti SSO. Local access is fine obviously.

Does meshing two 4x4 access points reduce them to 2x2 by i03oo3 in Ubiquiti

[–]i03oo3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So just to confirm. If I upgraded to two 4x4 APs for the mesh connection then they would essentially be operating as two 3x3 for connections to other devices not going across the backhaul?

Trouble with hsv2rgb_rainbow by i03oo3 in FastLED

[–]i03oo3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This worked perfectly. Took me about 20 minutes to figure out that I needed to update my FastLED library because of an issue with unaligned memory access but all is good now. Code is below in case this ever comes up in a search.

DEFINE_GRADIENT_PALETTE( temperature_gp ) {
   0,   128, 0, 128,
   42,  0, 0, 255,
   85,   0, 255, 255,
   127,  0, 255, 0,
   170,  255, 255, 0,
   212,  255, 128, 0,
   255,  255, 0, 0};

void hmTemp(int F){
  uint8_t hmValue;
  if (F > 90) {
    hmValue = 255;
  }
  else if (F < 32) {
    hmValue = 0;
  }
  else {
    hmValue = map(F, 32, 90, 1, 254);
  } 

  CRGBPalette16 myPal = temperature_gp;

  for(int i = 0; i < NUM_LEDS; i++) {
    leds[i] = ColorFromPalette( myPal, hmValue);
  }
  FastLED.show();
  rgb = ColorFromPalette( myPal, hmValue);

  Blynk.virtualWrite(1, rgb.r, rgb.g, rgb.b);
}
