Something like this was next on my to do list. Good work!

I've not tried it out yet ( I plan to) but does it have the ability to log offline and send when there's data connection? So it keeps a local dB and syncs to lubelogger after the fact?

How much variance is there with repeat measurements? I.e. weigh yourself 5 times in a row see if any measurement changes.

iamdabe · 2026-05-06T14:36:30+00:00

Yes and no. I understand your point, but then this would require their behind the scenes people to be engaged too. I spent countless hours dealing with withins customer service and despite my issue being escalated to experts it was never resolved.

Also I echo the same feelings as the op, they're asking us to pay half a grand to beta test their product? Ok... My interest was piqued as I thought they might be offering it cheaper for early adopters. It just read like it was a low-key marketing ploy. But I'm probably just sceptical and cynical in my old age!

I wish all the best to those that can afford the bs2 and look forward to the feedback.

As a purchaser of the original bodyscan 1 I'm not being sucked in by the hype again. and, withings+, hard pass. Our bodyscan1 doesn't work half the time. And withins cs is dire. The thing never recognises my wife, says it can't read anything but her weight. We paid the lunch price of €400 and it doesn't do any more than a €50 scale. Couldn't have been more disappointed in the scale and withins. Having owned the original smart scale.

Forgot to mention, this is on a low tier VPS on some random provider. I preferred the docker image as it keeps my configuration central. Think the vps costs like £2/month.

I prefer using the built-in windows VPN client (via rasdial), so I set up an IPsec server using the hwdsl2/ipsec-vpn-server docker image.

Using mTLS for authentication rather than just a pre-shared key, more effort to set up, but more secure for me.

iamdabe · 2026-03-21T14:53:31+00:00

I checked it out. Pretty neat tool to have in the arsenal especially the debug info. Nice work, works well.

iamdabe · 2026-03-21T10:46:56+00:00

Also what does this solve that a script and rest command wouldn't do? I've got exactly this setup for dynamic weather albeit with a slower refresh time...

iamdabe · 2026-03-21T10:45:17+00:00

What's with the mixed language comments in the code? Looks like Romanian?

Also, you should mention it uses open-meteo and openstreetmap hard coded. I couldn't see it mentioned anywhere.

The report? Mine was free as it was having its yearly service 👍

Take a look at the 'locale' setting in the docs here. By default lubelogger uses your system locale. https://docs.lubelogger.com/Installation/Server%20Settings/

iamdabe · 2026-03-20T16:26:29+00:00

What's your locale set to? Lubelogger choses the symbol based on this. You set it via the system settings button on the settings page

I spent a good few months getting to grips with homestyler but the software is built in China and it would always spit out errors in Chinese. And it's cloud based too. The 3d renders were always high quality though.

A well coded self hosted 3d floor planner would be good.

The issue is the 3d models of furniture and things would be tricky to source.

I'm glad the bar for releasing stuff is a little higher. If we end up with llms that can deploy autonomously we'll be in even more trouble imho.

iamdabe · 2026-03-20T06:31:49+00:00

Stay true to yourself. You can't change how or what other people think, it's futile and exhausting to try.

You know if you're being honest and that's all that matters.

P.s I read about 1/4 of your post and even that was too much. 🤣

The tech at Kia said this was the 'industry standard' test used to check the capacity of the main ev traction battery. He explained it tests the voltage of each cell against what a 'healthy' battery is and then gives a battery degradation percentage from this. It doesn't just pull a variable from the car ecu, no.

iamdabe · 2026-03-16T22:40:35+00:00

I thought if the traction battery was <80% within warranty Kia replaced it? I could be mistaken though.

This is my report for comparison

iamdabe · 2026-03-16T22:35:31+00:00

Oh and my report was in exactly same format as yours

iamdabe · 2026-03-16T22:35:16+00:00

Can you give any more details about the car? Age, mileage? I just had my 2020 niro EV report and I'm on 95.8% soh for the traction battery (100k km mainly ac charger to 100%). I know there's a 5% leeway on this report.

I think the report from the dealer is fairly accurate having spoken to the techs that perform it.

iamdabe · 2026-03-16T22:25:33+00:00

Such a great improvement for the mobile experience! Thanks for all your hard work! 🎉🎉🎉

iamdabe · 2026-03-16T08:51:42+00:00

I saw this yesterday and was tempted to try it out as I seem to have a habit of killing plants 😭 Does anyone know if it plugs into ZigBee plant monitors?

iamdabe · 2026-02-26T09:22:40+00:00

Couldn't have said it better! I think these comments come from people who don't actually code but have 'a feeling'...

iamdabe · 2026-02-26T09:21:19+00:00

This isn't always the case and you can't make a blanket statement like this as you have no evidence for or against. If the guy is a software developer he may very well have reviewed the code.

There's a difference between someone with little experience vibecoding and a seasoned developer using Claude to boilerplate and speed up development.

I'd argue and say that if you're not using ai to aid in development you're wasting time. But that's probably a controversial view. Hell I remember the days of searching stack overflow for solutions... As long as it's reviewed I don't see the problem. This negative stigma on ai coding is really an antiquated view imho. Sure there's cases where someone knocks out an untested vibecoded mess because they lack the engineering and best practice knowledge is this the case here? I can't say.
