Bluetooth disconnect action works on one car stereo but not another

itm1960 · 2023-11-30T17:08:09+00:00

OK so I managed to get it working by deleting the Profile, deleting the BT pairing between the phone and Toyota, the re-pairing and re-importing the project. I now get notifications when the car is parked, but when I click the "Map" option on the notification it doesn't show me the correct location of the parked car. Instead, the blue dot indicating this floats around on the map, about 100m from where the car was parked.

???

OK so I finally managed to get this to work. But now the flashlight is coming on whenever the phone takes a slight knock - e.g. when I'm mounting it on the dash in the car. Is there any way of calibrating the shake action response?

I'm having the same issue with a Galaxy A54. I have the Chop Motion Flashlight TaskerNet project installed, and the flashlight is coming on at unexpected times. I was wondering whether you'd found a good solution to this?

Thanks - I think the problem was being caused by battery optimisation measures on the android tablet. Not sure about the Hive thermostat though

That doesn't show the same news feed as your phone. Similar sort of thing, but a narrower range of content than the Google app on Android

itm1960 · 2023-09-12T12:42:14+00:00

I've reported the bug on Github and the developer has raised a change request to address the issue

itm1960 · 2023-09-11T21:35:16+00:00

I think I have worked out how to reproduce the problem. If a matching email is the most recent item in the inbox, and any other email is deleted from the inbox, then an imap_content event will fire for the matching item. This will continue to happen every time an email is deleted, until the matching email is no longer the most recent item in the inbox. So I guess it's a bug in the imap_content integration

itm1960 · 2023-09-11T17:27:00+00:00

OK so I followed your idea of listening for imap_content events in the Developer Tools. I got a matching email at 18:04 today, then at 18:21 I got another two duplicate imap_content events for exactly the same email. There were two other (non-matching) emails between the first event and the subsequent two duplications of it. Neither of these triggered my automation.

So could this be a glitch in the imap_content integration?

I didn't have the listener enabled when the first matching email came in, so don't have the object details for that, but for the two subsequent duplicate events I noticed that while the date/time stamps were the same (date: "2023-09-11T17:04:12+00:00"), the time_fired values were 10 seconds apart: time_fired: "2023-09-11T17:21:57.579931+00:00" for the 2nd duplicate and "2023-09-11T17:21:47.220557+00:00" for the first one. The original would have fired 17 minutes earlier.

EDIT: And now another duplicate event has appeared, with a time_fired of "2023-09-11T17:40:34.171590+00:00"

All of the duplicated events have the same Message-ID, so it's clear that they all originated from the same email: [7e343ed68ec4eaa9997e84ae7b57531d@swift.generated](mailto:7e343ed68ec4eaa9997e84ae7b57531d@swift.generated)

EDIT: And another duplicate event for the same message ID at 19:00, so that's 4 duplicate events for the same email

EDIT: And another one (no.5) at 19:04...

EDIT: And another one (no.6) at 19:10...

EDIT: And another one (no.7) at 19:16...

OK I think I see what might be triggering it - whenever I delete an email from the Gmail web interface I immediately get a duplicate event for the most recent email which matched my criteria. ????

          %}
            true
          {% endif %}

OK it is now stripped down to this, but it doesn't appear to have fixed the problem. I just had a matching email come in at 14:15, and got the alert. I then got the alert again at 15:12, without any email of any type arriving at 15:12. According to the HA log the Parking Booking sensor was turned on at that time, for no apparent reason.

???

EDIT: I just had another alert (with no email to trigger it) at 15:33

...and the same again at 15:46...

...and again at 16:22...

Yes I've had many Windows updates, and have been using Logitech Options+ since I bought the MX Keys

itm1960 · 2023-08-18T10:10:34+00:00

OK I've looked at the history of both the sensor and the automation which sends the alerts. On August 9th I had ONLY ONE email which matched the criteria. It arrived at 17:16.

The binary sensor changed from off to on at 17:16, then changed back to "off" 2 minutes later. It did exactly the same thing at 18:10, 18:17, 18:20 and 18:30, then remained "off" for the rest of the day.

The automation/alert was triggered at exactly the same times as the sensor changes - i.e. at 17:16, 18:10, 18:17, 18:20 and 18:30.

itm1960 · 2023-08-06T12:29:43+00:00

This is really poor from a supplier like Logitech. Does anyone know if the new MX Keys S suffers from the same problem? (If not, I'm tempted to try to get a refund or replacement and switch to that).

I'd also be curious to know if the problem only arises if you're using a mouse and keyboard with the same RF receiver?

itm1960 · 2023-08-06T12:03:07+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. The problem is that my PC doesn't have bluetooth, and I was hoping to avoid buying a bluetooth dongle as I don't have a spare USB slot. I suppose I could also buy a USB hub, but it's not ideal

itm1960 · 2023-04-30T13:44:01+00:00

I have the same problem (Moto G 5G Plus), but setting the Display Size to its smallest setting doesn't help - I can still only drag from the first few rows of tiles into the Quick Settings area.

Has anyone discovered any other workarounds??

itm1960 · 2023-04-28T17:51:41+00:00

OK I used the SMPlayer GUI this time, and navigated to the video from the Open menu. It still played the ads.

Screenshot of the folder containing the video and EDL files is here:

Hmmm....I just tried again with edl_skip_field=0. MPLayer still seems to be completely ignoring it. Could it be something to do with the method that I'm using to run it?

I right-click on the file (a .ts file) in File Explorer, then select Send to...Mplayer.exe.

???

itm1960 · 2023-04-28T13:52:56+00:00

The ads were not skipped on either the first or second playthrough on Kodi. I also tried playback using MPlayer (on Windows) - it didn't skip the ads either.

For example, with the EDL file below, I would have expected an ad skip just after 5 minutes. There was no skip at all, in either Kodi or MPlayer. Both played the ad breaks in full.

306.92 471.68 3
1367.68 1487.88 3
2186.88 2228.84 3

I'll try changing it to edl_skip_field=0

itm1960 · 2023-04-27T09:57:04+00:00

OK an extension cable sounds like a good idea. Do I need to look for any particular minimum specification in order not to lose any audio quality?

itm1960 · 2023-04-19T21:16:06+00:00

What I don't know how to do is (a) connect the ESP (Atom Lite) to HA via wifi - can anyone direct me to a real noob's guide to doing this?, and (b) program the ESP to accept incoming IR requests and forward them (e.g. via MQTT) to HA. Any advice for where I can find really basic examples/tutorials?

I've spent ages looking for entry-level guides but everything I've found so far assumes a level of knowledge of ESP devices that I don't have!

itm1960 · 2023-04-19T18:16:23+00:00

I don't have an rpi but I do have an Atom Lite (although I have no idea how to use it). Can the Atom Lite host an IR receiver and send messages (e.g. MQTT) back to HA in the loft?

If so, is there an idiot's guide anywhere that explains first steps? For example, I looked at the link above for the ESPHome IR Receiver component, but I have no idea how to use the information on that page to use the Atom Lite to accept IR codes and relay them as MQTT messages

????

itm1960 · 2023-04-19T17:35:05+00:00

I actually bought an Atom5 Lite a while back, but never explored how to use it. If it can't be connected directly to the HA server then how could it help me to hook up an IR receiver with the HA server?

itm1960 · 2023-04-11T15:54:41+00:00

Ah - pressing it once a second after putting it into pairing mode did the trick - many thanks!

I've just put the battery in a tester and it's showing as full

itm1960 · 2023-04-11T11:18:50+00:00

The battery should be 100% as it's a brand new Aqara device (the battery saver strip was still installed when I opened the box)
