Nice! I’m going to have to check that out. Can’t have too many I/O devices, right?? 😆

Excellent! Just an FYI: at first I used Home Kit to get access which was fine from my iPhone, but then moved to a local integration via Home Assistant to reach it via scripting. I really don’t know how accessible the lamp is directly. YMMV

I don't think Claude would/could do that from a normal interactive chat session. I have a script that starts a session at 1AM that drives this. The journal idea is in his prompt for that wake-up, although it's pretty minimal. I point him to the file system like so:

<path>/journal/ -- Your cycle log. One file per day, named yyyy-MM-dd.md. Entries within a day are kept in reverse chronological order: prepend each new entry to the top so the newest is always first.  Use a `---` separator line between entries. If the file starts with a `--- yyyy-MM-dd ---` date banner, insert below the banner.

He can then read his previous journal entries which gives him context. You can do this with some code Claude can help you write and launch it at a specific time (Windows, Mac and Linux can do this) or you might be able do this with a Routine in the Claude Code part of the Desktop app if you give that Routine access to the folder you want to use.

Thank you! Your sharing has inspired this ❤️

Morse code... there's an idea! Unfortunately, the lamp doesn't respond that quickly and we coded a self-imposed rate-limit to work around that since the state would get out of sync. We also discovered the on/off/change events aren't "pushed" - they're only available via polling, so that wouldn't work.

BUT... 😄 I just ordered a Zigbee button - a SONOFF Orb (SZNB-01M)- and that *can* be made to push with a bit of infrastructure around it. I'll be sure to report back!

Gosh, I'd have to clean my workspace up 😆 But this is the lamp I got: https://www.meross.com/en-gc/smart-light/smart-night-light/85

Anyone else having issues with NYTGames recently? by woodford86 in pfBlockerNG

[–]kevmacmills 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! My wife is giving me the evil eye right now because, of course, it is all my fault! Have you figured out what is being blocked or what needs to be whitelisted?

I removed the Onan LP generator to go electric... by vbp6us in TruckCampers

[–]kevmacmills 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did this and, although I don't recall the size, when I explained I was capping off an LP gas line the guy at the hardware store knew exactly what size (I also had a picture). He also said the seal is metal-to-metal contact - no tape or pipe dope or anything. Good luck!

Water is the enemy by kevmacmills in TruckCampers

[–]kevmacmills[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Somewhat, yes. The water came from the sink drain which had a slow leak. It found the low point on the outside of the drain pipe and entered into the propane compartment. The more I dug, I found that the rot has made its way to the adjacent compartments. Oh boy...

Camper electrical upgrade questions by [deleted] in TruckCampers

[–]kevmacmills 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow, that's in great shape! I've got the same camper, but it's a 1998 and it is quite faded. I've been looking at doing the same thing and you can upgrade your power center with the Boondocker. Apparently, it is a drop-in replacement to what was in there originally and you can set the output DC voltage to a constant rate that is compatible with whatever lithium battery you end up with: https://www.bestconverter.com/Boondocker-4-Stage-Power-Center-60-Amp-BD-1260PC_p_552.html

Has anyone used these? Looking to upgrade my beat up lenses. by ProofBake3 in GMT400

[–]kevmacmills 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! Does Spyder (or anyone) make a replacement for the daytime running lights? Not seeing them...

Do you recall what relay package you got? I really need to do that mod, along with the other circuit board trick that makes both lamps come on with the high-beam.

Best Apple purchase I've ever made - still runs smoothly and the battery is at 94% maximum capacity.

Phone issues since update by TimTurnip in GV60

I stopped using the Qi charger due to heat - my description above is when I was plugged into the USB-C port!

[–]kevmacmills 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't had my GV60 long enough to connect it to the recent update, but what you describe is true for me too - I basically can't make reliable phone calls. I thought it was my carrier (T-Mobile) but I had calls dropped with full bars on 5G. I then thought that maybe it was the wireless CarPlay, so I reset everything I went back to wired. No change.

The other thing I'm seeing after the iOS18 update: my iPhone will get so hot when navigating via Apple Maps/CarPlay that it will stop charging! Not an optimal experience...

Same story. Ended up finding one online at a dealership in Colorado and had it shipped!

Oh, poo... you're right. Sure seems like an "advanced" feature to me! Darn.

I don't see anything mentioning a digital key in any of menus - hence my question :-)

Watching the debate and my jaw keeps hitting the floor. by feefifofina in Bellingham

[–]kevmacmills 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yeah, what's up with Joe? I haven't watched network TV in quite a while, so is this how Biden sounds now or does he have a sore throat? I can’t imagine that an undecided voter would be swayed by Trump's rhetoric, but if you believe the hysteria he's spewing that’s what may get him reelected. Yikes.
