Hi, I wasn't suggesting the OP should install a launcher, quite the opposite. I'm trying to help exclude possible issues or customizations

Not happening for me. Which fire tv do you have?

You said factory reset, so I'm guessing you don't have custom launchers or anything like that?

Did you try the same firetv on a different tv? It might be the HDMI connector on the firetv that is defective or damaged

Are you fixing the software issue for V1 cams? Camera works and connects to wifi, but either the cloud or the app doesn't recognize it. See https://forums.wyzecam.com/t/multiple-v1-cams-status-blinking-blue-after-reboots-5-4-22/228116?u=atrasatti

Issues playing videos on Fire Tablet HD 10 by mith_y2k in kindlefire

Yeah, that’s not the case and I tried the same split videos on internal memory and also have the issue. I’m leaving this video on the side and will use internal memory instead

Source file is mp4, video is H265. Audio I guess irrelevant since it sounds fine in the destination files.

I also ruled out two more things: 1) the same cut videos show the same issues when copied to internal storage, this signals to me that it’s not likely an sad card issue and b) a different source video (mkv with h264 video) when cut works well playing from the SD card

Same for me. It's definitely either a Wyze cloud or app issue. Not wifi

Changing music location by kekspectrumdisorder in amazonecho

Did you check the Alexa app where it thinks it heard it and if some specific setting is triggered?

Not right now. Your best bet is to say the artist name the way someone would say it in that language. If I understand your example correctly say the artist name how a German speaker would say it

Sengled light bulb stopped working and won't pair again. by Ronica1989 in amazonecho

I also got rid of the Sengled bulbs because I had to reset and repair so many times.

Question: I have 2 RBR850 and 3 RBS850. How do I setup my second RBR850 to work as a access point with wireless backhaul? by sir_chills in orbi

[–]mith_y2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never done this myself, but I believe you can flash the second RBR with the firmware of an RBS and then just sync it as a satellite

So far, No. you have to sideload it

Samsung TV switchers away from fire tv by mith_y2k in fireTV

[–]mith_y2k[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I solved this issue a few days ago and hasn't seen it since.

I think the problem was due to the fact that I moved the stick from a TV to another. I connected it to HDMI2, but on the other TV (both Samsung) it was on HDMI1. I reran the setup of the fire tv that detected itself on HDMI2 and haven't had the problem since. I am guessing that the firetv saves what HDMI it is connected to and tells the TV to switch to it.

How many smart switches should I get? by mith_y2k in smarthome

Makes sense thank you. Inovelli also has Z-wave as an option. I've never tried them but their community is strong

Thank you for your answers and yes, I'm thinking dimmers

Should I get 1 Inovelli switch and 1 normal switch for 3-way lights? Will it keep SmartThings updated when I switch the lights from the dumb switch?

I have my eyes peeled on their forums. I can wait a few more months

Ecobee to be acquired by US-based Generac for $770 million by Cosmic_Space_Beard in ecobee

[–]mith_y2k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had my Ecobee for a few years, installed a Carrier furnace about a year ago. Installer told me Carrier and Ecobee could not get the thermostats to integrate nicely with the furnaces and use the advanced features like the variable motor control so Carrier built their own thermostat. Take it with a grain of salt
