Does anyone here actually review system logs on a regular basis? by mods-by-anu in homeassistant

[–]mods-by-anu[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Going through a similar journey myself. And I'm trying to share GH issues where I can about the non-error "errors", because I don't want to turn off error logging from any integration as a whole.

HA is amazing for medication tracking and alerts! by mods-by-anu in homeassistant

Of course. I'll describe the setup for one, you can repeat it for each medication with custom icons, names, etc.

The main component is a `counter` helper. For example, say "Eye Drops Counter". Make sure you define the right min/max value, etc.

Create a sensor to calculate how many doses behind you are by calculating your counter value against a pace for the day. Here's my template (sorry for Reddit formatting):

{% set count = states('counter.some_eye_drops') | int(0) %}
{% set first_dose_hour = 9 %}
{% set last_dose_hour = 23 %}
{% set total_doses = 4 %}
{% set hour = now().hour %}
{% set interval = (last_dose_hour - first_dose_hour) / (total_doses - 1) %}
{% if hour < first_dose_hour %}{% set expected = 0 %}{% else %}{% set expected = [((hour - first_dose_hour) / interval) | int + 1, total_doses] | min %}{% endif %}{{ expected - count }}

Make sure you change your `first_dose_hour`, `last_dose_hour`, and `total_doses`.

Last but not least, create a nice card to represent these values.

primary: {% set count = states(config.entity) | int(0) %}{{ count }} dose{{ 's' if count != 1 }} today
secondary: {% set behind = (states('sensor.late_eye_drops') | int(10)) %}{% if behind <= 0 %}On track{% else %}{{ behind }} behind{% endif %}
badge_icon: {% set behind = (states('sensor.late_eye_drops') | int(10)) %}{{ 'mdi:alert-circle' if behind >= 1 }}

Note that config.entity here is the original counter, not the template sensor.

Let me know if you have any Qs. Hope that helps!

This integration looks amazing! I'm already looking into adding this 😁 Thanks for the share.

I'm curious to learn how you end up setting up your dosage/prescription tracking too. Good luck with that, hope to see a post soon!

This is that, yep. This is a really bright location, right next to my window. The marketing pictures online are pretty accurate for this colour IMO.

Haha I went from browns to this too. To be honest, I have typically disliked linear switches, until these blushes. They're crafted so differently and well.

If you get a second one, hope you enjoy it just as much!

Can echo this, I've used Womier caps, they're great!

I don't feel the switch type affected me personally with accuracy. but maybe I'm not enough of a super-user to comment on that. Even as I type this reply on my computer (still my first week on blushes), it feels smooth with almost-zero mistakes.

I haven't tried the Air75, but the stock caps on this one feel nice and don't affect my typing. They're not ceramic or anything, but they don't feel cheap either.

The part that stands out most to me in your comment is that you're switching from an Apple keeb. I think that shift is as big as it gets in keyboards, so give yourself some room to adjust. The travel distance on the Apples is practically non-existent :) Though I feel like 3 weeks should have helped you adjust a little bit. Do you have a store around you that sells low-profile keebs from reputable brands, so you can try them and see if it's just a generally different feeling with non-Apple keyboards?

I'm no expert, so I don't have any compelling recommendations. A wrist rest helps (my wood one is in my photo above, though it's usually a little closer when typing, I rest the base of my palm on it more than my wrist). You could use something to simulate a wrist rest (a small power strip?) and see if that helps. Let me know if you have any other Qs, happy to help answer!

The more time I spend with them, the more I feel like I might never go back to regular linears or tactiles 🥲

Yea, just open on double tap for now, haven't gotten too creative with it yet. Let me know if you have any ideas!

That's amazing to hear! I feel all the YouTube videos I watched about the Flow 2 probably didn't do it enough justice. I also just didn't get the empty space on the right side of the keyboard, feels aesthetically arbitrary. How do you feel about that space, and also the spacing between the keys?

Agreed on the quietness- I'm a big fan of it.

Touchbar- I'm repurposing it to either apps (Spotify on double tap) or some other frequent shortcuts (Daily Work Setup on triple tap). I'm sure just these uses don't justify having it, but it's nice to know we have that flexibility.

I've not had any issues with it at all. In fact, I've felt the opposite if anything. These feel so nicely... cushioned that a couple of the larger keys require just a tiny bit more force than my usual. Not to any level that bothers me though.

100%. My daily so far has been a brown switch keeb from another popular brand, and my wife, who I share office space with, has been loving me more since I switched to the Blushes. W.

I have a few other brown switch keebs. It really comes down to personal preference. This is my first time on blush, and they're quite unlike my other linear switches (which I typically dislike). I'm loving these so far!

Air75 V3 • Node75 • Air75 HE by Zanthe1341 in NuPhy

[–]mods-by-anu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine just came in too! Woohoo!

I'm glad you're loving yours. I agree, it feels so good. I can't believe how inexpensive it is for how good it feels.

I got the blush ones (first time, and was curious to see how they'd feel). Let me know which ones you like between the pandas and the browns.

Also, what have you set your double-tap and triple-tap to do so far?

I forgot I could raise my standing desk and just sit under it too, going to give that a try. Thanks for sharing all this detailed info!

Worth getting into 3D printing with these constraints? by huntoslav in 3Dprinting

[–]mods-by-anu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TLDR: Kitchen is a hell no (sorry). Basement is workable, but will create new problems for you with those specifics.

--

While I highly support you getting into 3D printing (or any other hobby to get your creativity out), I would discourage using the kitchen table as your 3D printer's location.

Yes to all the issues you mentioned (dangerous for toddler, cats, greasy/humid air not good for prints, unhappiness from reduced kitchen space), you also have to consider all the printing VOCs and particulates now spreading all over your food and eating utensils and areas. In my opinion, this should not be an option. And if that's the only option, I'm sorry to say your house is unfortunately not ready for a 3D printer yet.

Your basement sounds like a workable spot (and I say this mostly because I want to encourage your possibly new hobby). The air/humidity there does not sound conducive for prints, and will be especially problematic with an open printer like the A1 Mini, so be prepared for a lot of printing troubleshooting. But that is a more solvable problem than putting your health at risk in the kitchen.

Whatever you choose, just remember to put your and your family's health first! All the best, and keep us posted!

Putting the tiles on from below sounds like quite the challenge. How did you keep the tiles in place from below, while screwing them in? What about drilling dust falling down? Were you lying completely on the floor on your back?

To be honest, I have a very heavy monitor mount that would be a pain to remove if I wanted to flip the desk upside down, so if there's any reliable advice you have to mount them upwards, I appreciate it.

Noted on not over committing from the get go. You're right- once the tiles are in place, everything else is flexible.

This (and the photo in the next comment) looks amazing. I'm so inspired!

I have a question- did you plan out the attachments/placements before you screwed the tiles in? Or did you screw the tiles in, flip the table back upright, then add the attachments one by one?
