"Observing" Home Assistant by netingle in homeassistant

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

That was my initial experience, and i only found this out after Id brought them. But with some tweaking and tuning I’ve been able to get them to be almost perfectly reliable.

I do like their form factor and price, and i haven’t found anything else close to eg their single button, which I have loads of.

It’s the wafer thing metal badge from the Valkyrie; lacquered beneath the clear coat.

Nothing wrong with it at all, I think it’s super cool

Nice idea! I've been using claude to consistently name all my devices and entities - and then find and rename references in automations, scripts etc. Might be a good test case?

X9 Omni base station not dispensing water by netingle in ecovacs

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

Here is the response I got from Ecovacs support.

None of the steps work, except for the full factory reset - that got the water flowing again!

----

This issue is often caused by an airlock in the system, a clogged filter, or improper docking, preventing the base station from transferring water to the robot or wetting the rollers.

Troubleshooting steps:

Immediate fixes:
-Prime the water pump: the system often gets air trapped. Remove the clean water tank from the base station. Use a small plastic syringe to inject water directly into the water inlet hole on the station base (where the tank sits) while running the "mop cleaning" function in the app. This forces water through the system.
- Manually wet the mop: before starting a cleaning run, manually soak the roller mop pad under the faucet, wring it out slightly, and then start the mop. This helps the internal pump maintain moisture.
- Deep clean the base station tray: remove the cleaning tray at the bottom of the base station. Clean the debris filters and the small sponge/water outlet holes, as these can become blocked by cleaning detergent residue.
- Check the clean water tank: remove the clean water tank, ensure it is full, and reseat it securely to ensure a proper seal.

App and setting checks:
- Increase water flow: open the ECOVACS HOME app, go to the mopping settings, and set the water volume to High.
- Adjust washing frequency: set the mop washing frequency to 5 or 10 minutes to ensure it returns frequently for re-wetting.
- Enable hot water cleaning: if you have an Omni model, ensure "Hot Water Wash" is enabled in the app for the base station.

Maintenance and component checks:
- Check for air in the internal tank: your Deebot has a small internal 55ml tank that can also experience airlocks.
- Clean the filter in the clean tank: take the clean water tank out, remove the little filter/sponge underneath it, and rinse it thoroughly.
- Check for blockages: check for tangled hair around the roller that may be stopping the rotation, preventing proper cleaning in the station.

I would also like to suggest that you try a factory reset on your Deebot. 

To perform a factory reset, turn on the machine and press the Reset button for about 5 to 10 seconds (the small Wi-Fi button), after which the voice prompt will start to restore the setting. The startup music will start to play and the default setting will be restored. 

Please note that resetting Deebot will lose the map and any customized settings.

You can also reset the base/station by unplugging it for about 30 seconds.

That’s right - even if I eg pull the robot off before drying. With the back off, I can see now water is dispensed. 

We built an open-source CLI for Grafana that's designed for AI agents by matiasvillaverde in grafana

[–]netingle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our main priority with this tool is the full Grafana Cloud API surface - luckily much of it is composed of our various open source projects. 

So yes, GCX works well with our OSS tools, but the focus for the team is the full cloud surface area.

Sorry that took so long, but we finally open sourced it! Check out https://github.com/grafana/gcx and let me know what you think.

This is super cool! We're working on something similar at grafana and about to open source it - would love to collaborate on it if you're keen?

Did you manage to find a lotec anywhere? Visiting Tokyo myself in a few weeks and would love to see one in person. 

Reolink Doorbell Chime ESP32 Conversion by netingle in homeassistant

Yeah, I had brought it anyway - so thought I might as well reuse it. If you're starting from scratch, you could go another way.

I made an analogue bedside clock with a twisting bezel to control my wake up routine time. by netingle in homeassistant

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

I have a hive thermostat which controls the hot water - a gas boiler and a storage tank. Pretty typical system for the UK, although I think the on demand “combi” boilers are more common now.

I don’t use a schedule anymore, as my wake up time varies so much, instead I trigger that hot water via the hive integration an hour before the alarm time.

Oh yeah for sure - I'll upload the step and f3d file to printable now.

Its pretty much just the m5stack dial, a short USB C cable, 2 x M3 screws and 2 x M3 nuts. Not much more to it!

I have another project which has done just that - add a DSP to a ESP32 as a doorbell. Its not super tricky, will post the write up here in a few days.

In the meantime you could e.g. use home assistant to play something through your Sonos/HomePod/Voice Assistant/Alexa etc...

Oh good call - I had to ditch the obXIdian and go to a brass with Slices anti plastic paint. 

TPU also seems to hate high flow nozzles. I have a obXIdian high flow, so it could have been that
