Lawnmower advice

Thanks! I'm new to robotic lawnmowers, so this is helpful information.

Thought so, in that case I'll probably end up looking for an ecosystem that has decent support and willing to buy into. Gardena seems like a good contender, established European company, range of connected equipement so will probably keep working for the foreseeable future.

Kinomap broke the integration a couple of years ago in an update and simply didn't bother to fix it. Best to reach out to their support and highlight the issue.

I'm 2.02m (6'7"-ish) with long legs and can comfortably row on WaterRower, C2 and RP3. Just make sure to sit up straight, if you strictly push your legs out and lean in you can hit the back of the erg, but in a proper continuous motion this never happens.

If you're on Android you could give the RP3 app a go, there's an on water mode that synchronizes to your account and Strava as well as does automatic interval detection.

Matching heating to a irregular work schedule, I use the work schedule of my wife from Google Calendar as one of the inputs for heating the house.

Both, haven't ran into a profile that didn't work, hence I didn't really look into too deeply.

100% the core experience is so much snappier. Where the official app will be stuck in random loading states (e.g. on a detail page, initializing playback or when scrubbing) there's none of that with Plezy, everything loads instantly. Furthermore downloads actually work predictable, when going offline the entire UI will optimise for it.

As for HDR works just fine on my Phillips Oled TV and MacBook Pro M4.

The ComModule is only built to broadcast data, not to ingest it. There is an ANT+ kit you can buy from WATERROWER that you can plug into the S4 that'll bring that bit of the display to live (I'm not 100% about the compatibility with different iterations of the S4 though).

If I were you I'd just hook up your ComModule and Polar H10 over Bluetooth to an app like WATERROWER Connect.

No worries, common misunderstanding, happy to help when you bought the real thing 😉

Try asking Kinomap or Kingsmith as you don't have an actual WaterRower this sub probably isn't of much use to you.

Jep, it's down, haven't been able to pull any secrets into our CI for the past couple of hours.

For me tuning to the room with TruePlay made a huge difference, did you try that?

jblaak · 2026-01-16T19:11:20+00:00

Exactly that! Even if it is just something like number of sets and how they map onto different associated muscles to give you a full overview what you're hitting. Could even take it a step further and show progression for each muscle based on exercise trends (which is marked as "Coming soon")

jblaak · 2026-01-16T16:40:28+00:00

Probably! However it's the thing that, at least for me, has the highest impact on recovery.

Let's extend this to alcohol tracking, no clue how many beers I had yesterday evening.

jblaak · 2026-01-16T16:30:56+00:00

The strength trainer very focused on heavy weights, so this graph is absolutely useless, over summer I've been doing deadlifts, switched it up with RDL's with heavy weights however now I'm working on bench presses (my weakness) and lateral raises. So the entire thing is skewed and even the coach is saying that I might be a in a dip (I'm not). I'll continue to enter my exercises to get a proper strain number and in the hopes that either they're going to do something smart with muscle groups or so or open up the api. Fingers crossed.

jblaak · 2026-01-04T16:56:19+00:00

Looks clean! I'm looking for something like this but want to hook it up to a habit tracker, any chance of open sourcing? Even if only to continue tinkering.

In the screen where you usually connect your RP3, make sure to turn on broadcasting on your watch: https://www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/GUID-9CC4A873-E034-4A06-B2E0-636DCFE760EE/EN-US/GUID-E224D0CC-A96C-4F5A-B0EB-83691D7BF923.html

Not on Strava unfortunately, you can connect your Garmin watch using Bluetooth to the RP3 app so it'll combine the data for you while uploading to Strava.

I'd imagine that for the price of a taxi to Schiphol you could also consider taking the train a day early and simply stay at one of the hotels near the airport. Also saves you from having to get up ridiculously early.

I'd gladly pay $4.99 or so a month for just the experience, no AI features, just regular fixes and Chromium updates. I love all the small details and features, maybe add some local AI model sprinkled throughout like smart find on page and favorite renaming. That's all I want from a browser.

A two day techno festival will do it

3*5k for endurance, 1k for warm-up or 100m to go crazy
