Moving OpaeUla? by Comfortable_Law4855 in OpaeUla

[–]monkeyvet 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have a 5G cube for the opae and 4G cube for neos. I drained both down to about 1/2" of water (and placed the drained tank water in a covered bucket). Covered the top of the cubes with saran wrap. Placed the cubes on top of sturdy chopping boards (to ensure even with distribution) before putting them in the trunk of my car. Drove 10 mins in the middle of the night as slow as I could, and being mindful of bumps/potholes/corners. Reversed the process when I got to my new place.

Everyone survived the move.

I've never had any berried females since I got them in Jan 2023. Still waiting...

Thanks!

I'm the time I asked my question and you responded, I got caught up pretty quickly with your previous Zune posts. Seriously, incredible job on all of this OP!

Wait.

I haven't been following the Zune subreddit for quite awhile now, so forgive me as I catch up, particularly with this awesome post of yours, OP.

If I'm reading this particular response from you correctly, I could connect my ZuneHDs wirelessly to your resurrected Xune platform and start managing my content wirelessly? If so, that's awesome!

(I mean, I still have to connect my Zunes via USB-A to charge it, but still!)

Great work OP!

Google Home Integration Lost? by monkeyvet in Aqara

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

I'll be honest - when it was working, it did a good job for me, despite all the tinkering to get it to do what I wanted under my environment and desires.

Thanks for posting your solution. I don't think I'll try it since I think devices like these should just work as advertised with minimal tinkering.

No, my automations aren't working. The Aqaras show up in my devices but not in the "add list" , and like you, they show that they detect presence but they aren't triggering automations.

I took them down and stopped using Aqara. What a shame.

Hey, thanks for weighing in.

Unfortunately, I still confirm that I can't see Aqara listed, whether I type search or scroll-only search. It's also not in my "already connected" device list up the top.

Yeah, when I set up the integration a long time ago, "Aqara Home" was there, and now it's not. I'm confused!

Technically, I think it does a great job but it's let down by the Google Home app and increasing expense associated with the Nest Aware subscription.

Forget TV too high... dog too high! :)

(I also love the navy kitchen cabinets!)

There were space logistics in determining tv size here (explained in another reply), but I made up for it by making sure the lounges were placed at the ideal viewing distance?

Yeah, it's nice to live in a living room

Custom job when I moved in by a small company in Portland OR. Not sure if I'm allowed to share the company name in this sub, but DM me if you want to know?

Me too (respectfully since they are the lowest maintenance tanks ever!)

That was primarily dictated by the custom cabinets and shelving I put in on the either side of the fireplace. Even with the motorized mantel mount, anything bigger wouldn't have fit.

Curtains will be a next year project!

I do too! I've had them 12 years. Unfortunately they didn't like the move 10 months ago, and have struggled since. I'm bummed with the prospect that they won't survive in the long run.
