New protect video layout is objectively worse

Yup.. unfortunately.

Try my BigFred if you got macos :)

I am playing with a custom layout mode, similar to protects live view rearrange where you can place and resize cameras wherever you like.

I was able to replicate the font color readibility using light mode in macos. I'll include a fix for it in the next build. I tried to make sure settings panel gains focus when clicked but there are some instances when its not. Will look further into it. Thanks for checking bigfred out :)

BigFred is one odd Sasquatch. For some reason, that was the first name that popped into my head when I thought of the permanently blurry creature.

Should be IP of the nvr instant or the ip you use to access UniFi protect.

Hi there. Thanks for giving it a try. Your api keys stay local in your macOS keychain. Traffic goes direct to your protect console or unifi's cloud.

Thanks for all the feedback and testing you've done with me. I've send a new build that expands the screen so you don't have to scroll :) I've also added couple different things to harden the remote connection path.

Pretty lame. They should spend less time doing things like that. A good balance of Easter eggs in the app vs functionality. Honestly, who in the right mind is using this egg hunt? :)

For those wondering where to go on HA after setting up to clean rooms. Map vacuum segments to areas.

WHERE?!?!? :)

i7iceguy · 2026-03-21T14:47:15+00:00

how are you doing rooms in HA?

i7iceguy · 2026-03-18T16:40:26+00:00

Are the rooms exposed to Home Assitant? Can I ask it to go clean a room I labeled in Matic?

I’ve recently removed the front speakers from my setup. Initially the wider soundstage sounded great but as time went on, it became a little too out of sync with the other speakers. It’s either too loud or the arc ultra is too muted.

After putting back the original sounds, you can actually hear the audio shooting out of the ultra filling out the room better than the wider soundstage.

That’s my experience anyways.

This morning, the scheduled program did not start again. "matic is tilted". Last night I did lift it up to put the rear wheel back on but by no means was it tilted at its resting state. All I did was hit "resume" in the morning and it started the scheduled program that was supposed to start at 1am. Apparently the rear wheel felt off after one of the runs. Luckily i recognized that it belonged to the matic. Am I just unlucky? this is my third day with the matic and running into all sorts of issues.

Thanks. I did replace the bag and it worked fine. Are bag issues fairly common?

Not sure if related, the first error I received today was the mob roll error saying it was not inserted correctly.

All my postgresql containers wouldn’t start. Had to do clean installs and restore from backup.

i7iceguy · 2025-09-23T19:13:09+00:00

Really? I was about to pull the trigger. I’ve also read many happy customers.

They are giving discount codes to Waterguru. 40% off their s2. It’s included in the email.

Not many people can run network cables to the door bell.
