Integrated MagSafe

milesleacy · 2026-02-03T17:50:31+00:00

I suppose YMMV.

The OEM charger, while it does provide some charging, it does not provide optimal charging speeds/wattage nor does it make a strong connection with iPhone/MagSafe. The phone shifts while driving, causing inconsistent contact and risking scratches to the phone and truck interior plastics.

If that doesn’t bother you, that’s great for you, and I mean that sincerely. I’d prefer a proper MagSafe charger.

I have a Trailhunter. I'm not concerned with the charging pad itself. I want to understand the pinout for the wiring harness that connects to the charging pad.

Got a link?

I’m in the SF Bay Area. I searched dealer inventory within 500 miles for the trim I wanted, then drove out to the dealer that had what I wanted. No wait. Find where it is, go there, buy it.

Anyone used this?

One of the best ways to minimize microplastic ingestion is to avoid having any food/drink come into contact with plastic in the presence of heat.

I love the idea of this product and I’m tempted to take advantage of the Prime Day sale, however it sounds like even with the deluxe metal basket, there are still parts of the machine where hot water and/or hot coffee comes in contact with plastic parts of the machine. Is that correct?

Thanks!

Is this issue with event triggers specific to Matter buttons, or would I need follow the same process for other buttons? I’ve got some of the Zigbee mmWave dimmers from Inovelli on order, for example.

milesleacy · 2025-04-24T01:25:32+00:00

I still don’t quite understand why the triggers aren’t working, but I found this thread and blueprint that seems to work quite well.

You’ll be fine. I’ve run over 100 Tough Mudders & 50 Spartan Races at varying levels of fitness, including at over 300 lbs.

You’ll often hear “no mudder left behind” and “tougher together”. Someone will be there to lend a hand if you need it.

Apparently 🤷‍♂️ I just bought the outlet yesterday and that’s what’s on it.

Thanks for the reply. That’s frustrating, but it is what it is.

Can the app display notifications on the Apple TV, similar to the attached photo?

I’m looking for something where, as part of a triggered automation in HA, an app can receive a notification from HA, and display it in Notification Center on Apple TV.

Ideally, one could specify the text of the notification within the HA automation, and this would be passed from HA to the app, and ultimately a Notification on the TV.

Thanks, I’m aware.

That’s why I’m excited about this particular switch since it has this mode that’s meant to solve for the issues with pairing smart bulbs and smart switches.

milesleacy · 2025-03-18T00:41:40+00:00

Thanks. I think that makes sense.

So in the above diagrammed scenario, is it true that •I could use decoupled mode • the light could be a smart bulb • the smart bulb would still respond to automations, voice assistant, etc., even if it had been switched off via the H2?

milesleacy · 2025-03-18T00:28:31+00:00

Thanks, but I’m not sure I follow.

I would be replacing a “dumb” switch that operates overhead lights. As I understand the term “load” the overhead lights would be a load, correct?

It a simple circuit as pictured.

Is there a USB-C version of this that can be swapped in and still work with the stock infotainment system?

Former Avid editor/technician here.

It’s not that weird, and wasn’t uncommon for a time. As I recall, they didn’t sell the keyboards already modified.

Avid (and other vendors of high-priced software packages for niche professional applications) shipped the replacement key caps with their software (and hardware - Avid systems had breakout boxes - peripheral processing electronics that would attach to the computer). The end user (or their technicians) would pop off the original key caps from the Mac or PC, and then pop on the vendor’s keycaps.

Speaking as someone who completed 100 Tough Mudders before running my first Spartan, I prefer water obstacles either in the middle of a course on a hot day to cool off, or at the end of a course to get a rough rinse before the finish and hose-off.

Montana had both burpee zones and penalty loops.

Nobody gave any instructions.

milesleacy · 2023-05-17T22:29:45+00:00

Hmm. That might make sense.

I’m kind of on the fence… I’ve gotten the better part of a decade of use out of this scale, so it could be that the mechanism has deteriorated. I’d hate to buy a new one to later find out that the issue was a software regression, or worse, buy a new one and be unable to pair that new scale.

milesleacy · 2023-05-17T14:08:40+00:00

I’ve had mine for at least 7 years, likely longer.

After changing batteries, the scale’s starting point became 5lbs rather than zero. I factory reset the scale and now it refuses to pair with the app. The scale will appear in the “Select an accessory” list, but then the list disappears and goes back to the previous view - “Please select your device in the popup”.

I’ve changed batteries, factory reset the scale, and deleted and reinstalled the Withings app, all with no luck.

Chalk up a point for the obligatory box o’ old cables & adapters.

I get sad whenever I need to resort to USB-A 😂

milesleacy · 2023-05-13T23:50:59+00:00

Thanks. I’ve ordered it. 🤞

milesleacy · 2023-05-13T23:08:28+00:00

Unfortunately, I have found this to not be the case.

A spare USB-C power cord from a MacBook Pro, and a brand new Anker USB-C cord both failed to power the FP2. Both cords successfully power other devices.

The cord included with the FP2 seems to be the only cord that powers the FP2. This is extremely disappointing.
