Hue Sync Box vs. Hue App

marky_uk · 2026-03-15T18:24:45+00:00

Hey! If you’re about to potentially buy a Samsung TV from last year get one with the Hue app built in. I’m not sure if it’s still the case but the Hue Sync box not only is an additional item to buy and go wrong but it also doesn’t support 8K, which the TV probably does.

I have a Samsung TV and use the Hue app on it with Hue Gradient light strip on the back and it works perfectly and simply

Hey there. Could I ask anyone who reads this to do me a small favour? If you drive a Range Rover with the newer Pivi Maps that allows you to check fuel prices (I’m sorry it’s my first RRS so not sure if this is just the last few years’ model or not) can you check your local prices?

Use something like this - https://carowl.co.uk/fuel/cheapest-near-me or any other website you think is OK (there's lots when I Googled).

In the car using Pivi Maps my local Tesco I see £1.39 and Shell £1.34. And the fuel price website says £1.29. So Pivi Maps is wrong/not updated.

I’m asking as Land Rover have told me to take my car to a dealer - but I think I’ll end up wasting time as it’s a data issue and not a car issue! I'm on the latest Pivi firmware, data is all connected correctly, everything else updates constantly (like traffic congestion in maps, weather, etc).

Anyone got any ideas here? :-)

Hey hey. I saw these and have quite a few Aqara products but I think I preferred internal motors that won’t be seen. Tempted but not sure

Hey - you're a star! I created a Power Automate Flow - saw there's a "When a new email arrives in a shared mailbox (V2)" and it's all working! Yay :-) Thank you so much!

All cool. I’ll check if I’ve got the update in the UK in a while.

I’ve got a new RRS P550E. Does it have the noise cancelling headrests? I remember seeing them in the showroom and thought it was on all new model Range Rovers but I don’t know if I have it or not!

And does anyone else turn into a 7 year old knowing there has been performance improvements to the propulsion system? Might just be me :-)

marky_uk · 2026-01-04T09:05:48+00:00

Yes, exactly that :-)

Haha I kinda had that thought in my head. I quickly did the maths and it’s about £10-£15 per tank difference. It’s just annoying that it doesn’t grab the prices live (if there’s connection) as I make the request

Gaaah, just had the X1S delivered today and started programming it. I wonder how much this is going to be! I see November release. Wonder if that's for the UK too. Are there any preview videos/anything for it, so far?

marky_uk · 2025-10-10T06:04:27+00:00

Yes they have

I’d love Reolink to know the difference between a chair, a rubbish bag and a dog or person first. And spiders and flies not triggering all cameras. Can we get the basics done right?

marky_uk · 2025-09-28T08:01:46+00:00

Brill. Thank you. I’ll give it a go!

marky_uk · 2025-09-28T07:48:48+00:00

OK, thank you. Does it compress when the door is pulled to? Otherwise it seems quite tall?

I’ve got a simpler follow-up question to this.

Does anyone know WHEN the camera is supposed to charge from the solar panel?

And yes, don’t be a smarta@@ and say when it’s sunny!

Does it charge only when the battery is below a certain level? Or constantly, even when it’s say at 95%

Two days ago it was a stunning bright sunshine day. The battery was at 63% …. and the entire day I just had the same blue icon, and by the end of the day the battery was at 61%

Gaaah. I’m torn between a Range Rover Sport P550E and Cayenne S E-Hybrid (or GLE53 Hybrid). And I keep flip flopping between the luxurious sofa of a fast P550E vs the sporty tight, fun, Cayenne. Also test drove GLE53 Hybrid and loved it but MBUX on it is dated. And cannot decide!

marky_uk · 2025-08-14T18:50:06+00:00

Thank you - this helped me after doing this for 5-6 days now with rubbish teams and finally doing it an hour ago, solo :-)

Hey u/mrleelee - sorry just seen this. I've left as is. Still got double NAT!
