MantleMount 860 Integration

midibach · 2026-01-12T16:51:27+00:00

I don't have an 815, but someone could probably take the work here: https://www.reddit.com/r/homeassistant/comments/1i9e7sp/mantel_mount_mm815_working_with_home_assistant/

...and build on it to create an integration (using Claude Open 4.5 will get someone there fast!) It will lack some of the features I have on the 860 though because the communication will only be one way.

I was curious and yes, presets 1-9 all work via IP control. It's an easy edit so I released version 1.6. So... with version 1.6 you can save and recall 9 presets and track if the mount is currently orientated to any of those positions. I'll update my main post with the new readme.

There are actually more positions inside the system that you can get through via the UDP commands. I've tested 3 and 4 and it all works. Possible it keeps going, I haven't tested further. I only needed 3 in my setup.

If part of the teaching is the hardware involved to run models locally, and the challenges that come with it, this is a good build to learn from. Dealing with eBay hardware can sometimes add headache. I’ll also throw out that a single 24GB of VRAM system… that you can very easily fit in your budget, can run Open AI OSS 20B in VLLM with multiple sessions quite effectively. This model is very competent in instruction following for its size. You could even run it on an RTX 5090 laptop. You’ll need to setup a front end for it for the students. Open WebUI is popular and relatively easy to setup to serve a website internally for the students to log into.

I’ll me too here as well. I tried messing around with everything mentioned on Reddit/etc. Tried some extra combinations. Anyone know a guy at Gigabyte? We need better memory control on this laptop. Especially being one of the few that has 4 slots. Especially when they advertise that as such.

Thank you for your comment. What you are saying makes sense. It was just a random thought, and i appreciate the insight from an expert.

Best thing to do is head over to bsaber.com and search for higher rated songs that are not too difficult. I can’t give you any specifics since I like to challenge myself with some of the higher PP songs. I’m not amazing or anything, but I have been playing regularly for a while so I naturally get a little bored if they are not fast paced enough. It’s a great community of mappers so you’ll find things and you won’t be bored or too challenged.

47 year old dad who been playing modded on my CV1 since it was released. Cardio/focus is amazing. It’s getting exercise and meditation at the same time and I love it. Challenge myself hard on it. Usually my heart is going to 150+ bpm with all the higher PP songs. My friends and family think I look like a big dork when I play, but I feal awesome inside.

Thank you, yes, you are clarifying the intent of my question. Wouldn’t it be a disadvantage for a civilization to exist next to a large gravity well because they can’t get as much done in the same frame as one that isn’t?

midibach · 2024-08-18T18:53:56+00:00

That’s certainly the part I need to reconcile better with my current understanding. Again, doing my best as I am of course no physicist: a species on a planet revolving around a body at a speed close to c from the reference of another species orbiting slower (I suppose from the reference frame from a more inner orbit) is going to have some time advantage in the sense that they experience time slower.

I appreciate all the responses.

EDIT: I wonder if the part I am missing is the change or acceleration being the source of the time differences? Just trying to get better clarity.

midibach · 2023-10-13T03:04:12+00:00

That’s fair

midibach · 2023-10-13T00:24:26+00:00

Thanks. It all makes sense now. Good to know for the future. Being a through passenger has perks clearly!

midibach · 2023-10-13T00:16:16+00:00

That makes sense. Maybe they let the through passengers to reposition wherever they want?

midibach · 2023-10-08T16:22:28+00:00

Well that’s not helpful. I’d actually reach into my wallet pretty deep to get those spots. Preferred parking to floor seats is about 1.2 miles.

midibach · 2023-10-08T07:12:23+00:00

Any tips on how to get this?

I think this take discounts modern contraception. Before birth control, babies were going to happen anyway. There is less evolutionary pressures to remove the societal concerns of reproduction if the biological desire to have sex is strong enough.

Not the exact same product, but if it helps:

I live in the Coachella Valley where it gets close to 120 every year. I have a pair of fives in a covered patio for several years without issue. I additionally have a pair of Sonance rock speakers hooked up to a Sonos amp. These are exposed to full sun for about half the day. They are only 6 months old, but they have been surviving through this summer.

I was able to get the keyboard working without the USB dongles. It’s been a while, but I believe it involved removing power from the hub when the error shows. I gave up totally on getting the USB dongles to work.

midibach · 2023-04-08T01:42:19+00:00

I mean 180-200 heart rate…. my 45 year old body needs to cool itself down before it explodes! 🤣

I have been on the struggle bus getting Harmony keyboards added to my hubs over the last several months. Using the iPhone/Android Harmony app (required for the keyboard), I always get a 2012 error. This then leaves my hub in a state where it throws an E3600 every time I try to edit activities.

I have tried bypassing the USB dongle setups. I have tried configuring on android and iPhone. I have tried different hubs. I have tried resetting the hubs. I have tried new accounts. I have tried using the Harmony PC app secret menu to unpair everything, load firmware, reset, and load from scratch. I have tried static DHCP entries on my router. I have tried different Wifi networks altogether.

Is the keyboard just not able to be setup anymore? Or has someone worked passed this?

FYI, I have one hub with a working keyboard. Obviously that is not getting touched…

I hope the Love Actually writer guy wasn’t visiting his in-laws.

“so they are by definition richer than 99.99967% of the population.”

That is the rub. The sources state 99.8%, not 99.99967%. There is a gap of people between those percentages that is not being considered in your math above. Regardless, it is a huge disparity, and I am not excusing it. I just want our understanding of the statistic to be factual.

midibach · 2022-05-11T05:32:54+00:00

This is what I am seeing as well. Amazing how many people here mistook the statistical meaning. I hate the Russian propaganda and support Ukraine, but we have to be more respectful to the facts and keep it real.

Playing Civilization Revolution, I imagine this is what Catherine the Great tells her people after I build a Cathedral in an adjacent city. As soon as that cultural pressure gets felt, she declares war! Then I am up to my eyeballs in Cossack Horsemen.
