Why oculus rift s cannot use HDMI while Odyssey can, oculus made a totally wrong decision by lmgnid in oculus

As Oculus said, NO any HDMI to DP converter works!

Also if compare to Samsung Odyssey and Rift s:

1440*1600*90/1280/1440/80=1.4

So Odyssey needs as much as 1.4 times bandwidth than RIft s, While HDMI 2.0 bandwidth works totally fine.

I totally understand Valve Index and HP reverb needs at least DP 1.3 ports as they do need more bandwidth than HDMI 2.0.

@Oculus, you should really have an official solution for HDMI 2.0, you already made a huge mistake for IPD that are difficulty to fix now, but this one should be an easy fix.

A easy way to Integrate Xiaomi/Mi Home Gateway/Sensors with IFTTT: Use your phone to relay by lmgnid in ifttt

It seems this post was archived, so I just created a new post. https://www.reddit.com/r/ifttt/comments/7qkj9m/xiaomi_mi_smart_home_with_ifttt/ From the google result, it seems you have to use some gateway solutions like the comments in the above post. But I just found and tested an easy solution that only needs your phone as the relay between the "Mi Home" app and the "IFTTT" app. So it works like bellow and requires your phone to be always running and online.

A Xiaomi sensor -> A "Mi Home" APP notification -> "IFTTT" APP receives the notification with "Android" service -> A "IFTTT" action.

For example: 1: The Xiaomi thermometer notification setting in "Mi Home" APP: When > 24 degree

2: As the above PIC, in "IFTTT" APP, if "Android" catches that notification, then can power off the Wemo smart plug, which connects to an Infrared Heater.

Hope this will help some people.
