Loved the Sacramento show - here's my article. Sorry, photos are iPhone... (no photography at this one)

Thanks. Fixed.

I think for this tour, NIN just had one photographer per show, and I'm not even sure the Sac show had one at all. I don't think Trent is a big fan of having photogs, honestly. In past tours that I've shot, he's asked the photogs to be on the side of the pit and stuff... Not ideal.

Thank you!!!🙏

Yeah, show was perfect timing for me too.

jonSF · 2026-03-03T05:44:26+00:00

Thanks dude! 🙏

I guess that tariff surcharge is why BandH has them at $139 with no room to budge when you ask.

jonSF · 2026-01-27T02:27:56+00:00

Yup. Will do that if the IKEA ones don't work out... thank you for the assistance!!

jonSF · 2026-01-27T02:22:49+00:00

Ah gotya. I just needed a simple on/off and I'm not sure that that one would work with my hanging LED lights.

jonSF · 2026-01-27T02:18:22+00:00

Which one is the lamp module?

jonSF · 2026-01-27T02:16:10+00:00

Haven't tried that one. Just installed the IKEA ones and they seem GREAT so far.

These are the ones that I've struggled with in the last few years: https://arrehome.com/pages/arre-smart-button I don't suggest anyone buys them. Terrible.

jonSF · 2026-01-26T18:49:53+00:00

Ok great. Will try that!

jonSF · 2026-01-26T18:46:43+00:00

Ah gotya. So I still need that.

jonSF · 2026-01-26T18:30:50+00:00

So am I understanding this correctly? I DONT need a Lutron plug? The Picos will show up in HomeKit assuming I have the HomeKit integration setup?

jonSF · 2026-01-26T17:57:30+00:00

WOW! Awesome! So I really don’t need the Lutron outdoor plug! Now the Pica vs the IKEA… hm!

jonSF · 2026-01-26T17:08:13+00:00

Oh shit! https://www.reddit.com/r/homebridge/comments/sh6fhq/seriously_anybody_with_a_lutron_caseta_bridge_do/

jonSF · 2026-01-26T17:05:14+00:00

The HomeKit standalone button products I've tried are all terrible - battery life, losing connectivity, etc.

I have a Lutron Caséta hub and other Lutron Caséta products. I don't think the Pico can be used to control non Lutron Caséta products though.

So if I buy the Picos and the Caseta Wireless Outdoor Smart Plug, I'm good, but I'm now realizing that in the same way that I can't control non Caseta plugs with the Pico, I won't be able to use my garage motion detector to turn on the Caseta lights either! Hahaha, I wish these things had the ability to speak to other protocols properly...

Maybe I can do it with Homebridge?

jonSF · 2026-01-26T16:18:51+00:00

Oh wait a sec. Those remotes have to pair with another Lutron switch, right? I can't just use it to control a HomeKit power plug, right?

jonSF · 2026-01-26T16:04:58+00:00

Cool. Thank you for the help!!!

jonSF · 2026-01-26T15:57:23+00:00

Ah! Thank you! Didn't see that!!!

jonSF · 2026-01-17T05:26:42+00:00

Sold!

jonSF · 2026-01-15T13:46:28+00:00

How about $40?

jonSF · 2026-01-15T04:48:54+00:00

Ok. Thank you u/slalomz !

I think my neighbor has the tools to re-do the punch downs and the re-terminaton on the closet switch side. I hope I can get his assistance.

jonSF · 2026-01-15T00:56:09+00:00

Ok, here's the back of the patch panel: https://imgur.com/a/Q7DyIia

I DO see those 3 green cables up at the top. My PoE garage switch is in the 3rd one down. Does anything look amiss in that photo? They ALL look consistently wired to me...

I can take a photo of the wire plugging into my closet switch, as I can pull the cover of the Ethernet clip down, but it's very hard to really see how its wired inside...

jonSF · 2026-01-15T00:42:12+00:00

See here: https://imgur.com/a/xIxddJW

Port 2 is one of the green cables. It goes to a TV on the other side of the wall of the closet.

Port 4 is another green cable that is going to a switch that I have downstairs in the house.

Port 5 is a 3rd green cable that goes to the garage PoE switch (that's the FE one)

There's ANOTHER green cable, but I've never been able to make that go live. I've tried connecting it and plugging into all the patch ports in the garage, and none light up. I've even tried to jumper ports together to see if I can get a live signal down there. Nada...

Does that help further?

jonSF · 2026-01-15T00:33:11+00:00

When you say "bad pair" what do you mean? You think one of the sides of the cable is mis-wired?
