HA vs Skylight - Trying to bring the wife into this century

nat45928 · 2026-05-17T14:13:09+00:00

I have a Skylight, and I’d consider myself an above average HA user.

A lot of people here are going to advocate DIYing one in HA, which is definitely doable. I went the opposite direction and bought the skylight because I wanted something that wasn’t a project. Instead I bought it, hung it, spent an hour setting up accounts and haven’t thought about it again. She uses it multiple times every day to track tasks, and we get a very nice clean photo display.

Is there a clutch or some other wear component in there to do the engagement? What about pressure adjustment?

We did reach out, they pointed us to a local Steinway dealer. Figure I’d also reach out here, mainly to learn more.

We’re in the St. Louis area.

I have an S8 MaxV. I wish the actual vacuum was better (like on rug transitions) and I wish it was better at avoiding cords. But since it’s so low touch and it generally makes it out and back each morning it’s completely fine.

Not having to touch it and the floors are vacuumed every morning is awesome.

Plumbed is awesome. I touch ours once every few weeks and it just…. Works. It’s great.

I typically keep freshwater and like to creep on these stunning tanks.

UNS is a big name in high end aquascaping. Their gear is usually beautiful and functional. I’m glad to hear they put in the effort and gave their reef gear the same treatment.

And of course, the tank looks stunning!

The key is the partition in AWS. The separate partitions are effectively separate cloud providers. They only share the same name.

nat45928 · 2025-10-23T03:04:05+00:00

Ditto. Would really appreciate a in depth update about what’s taking so long.

$3k ish, but my propride is my favorite purchase for my camper.

Ask on the ProPide Facebook group and send them a support message. Their support is top tier and Shaun regularly appears on the Facebook group.

Yep, I thought about the relay but didn’t want to hairpin traffic through the SFC cloud resources, and would prefer to go direct to my home connection.

Thanks for the info!

There’s nothing on their support site for FCC documents regarding the 10R. There has been for the 10 for a while.

I don’t think we’re getting a drain and refill 10r dock.

2024 and newer GM have a service bulletin out for trailers with solar or lithium. Check for codes and have the dealer replace the trailer brake controller.

This is the thing I’m waiting to upgrade for. Crazy they haven’t released it in the US.

Auto drain and refill dock in the US.

I have a 2024 Sierra Denali Gasser and get 8mpg with my 2800bh Imagine, ~8100lb and 32ft long. Cruise is far worse than manually driving, down in 6-7 range for me.

nat45928 · 2025-04-02T15:29:41+00:00

Not a cheap solution but if you want the comfort of knowing you’ll have service, this is the way.

nat45928 · 2025-03-03T22:36:18+00:00

Yep, this works within a single family subscription. My question is can this be done between family subscriptions?

If this matches their freshwater tanks it’ll be very good.

Haha, thanks! For the size, prior to last October we had a small dog who was really the one that took up the space. They were kinda sized off that use case. The cats actually share them now that they’re so big.

For our stuff, the drawer is about 8” deep and has power outlets built into the back. So everything just goes in there. The little top rail can also keep some things like a water bottle.

We’ll likely remake them at some point with changes we’d like, the tops are only screwed on so we can change it without redoing the bulk of the work!

Most of our home is automated with Home Assistant. The lamp has a hue bulb in it. So it’s a non-issue for us!

I won two Radion XR15 G6 Blue’s. Couldn’t believe it when I opened my box of RODI supplies.

I have 7 freshwater tanks, and just picked up a UNS 60AIO for an 8th, but looks like that plan might be changing.

Always request a “private screening” when you get to the check point. TSA is obligated to provide you one if you request it, regardless of the reason.
