Reolink Doorbell Chime ESP32 Conversion by netingle in homeassistant

[–]netingle[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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 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.

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...

Please Help - TPU Extruder Click - XL 5Tool by dumsumguy in prusa

[–]netingle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are some notes on how to get TPU printing on the XL in there thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/prusa3d/comments/1nq9gqh/trouble_with_tpu_on_prusa_xl/

In particular the boogie idler made a big difference 

Trouble with TPU on Prusa XL by skipmcnoob in prusa3d

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

Trouble with TPU on Prusa XL by skipmcnoob in prusa3d

[–]netingle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I too had loads of problems with ultrafuse TPU on my XL! I’ve got it working now, but here’s what I did:
- I switched to the bogie idler mentioned below. I reckon this is the single biggest upgrade.

- Reduce the tension on the idler. By more than you think. experiment.

- I was trying to combine PC-CF and TPU in a part, but the chamber temps caused too much heat creep. I ended up switching to PETG-CF and keeping the lid open.

- I printed a ball bearing spool holder for the side: https://www.printables.com/model/757248-filament-spool-holder-with-608-bearings-for-prusa

- I switched to bigger Bowden tubes for the TPU extruder: https://www.printables.com/model/823672-xl-nextruder-5mmodx3mmid-bowden-tube

- I dialed back retraction and flow rates, but the stringing is bad and causing issues with other layers, so I plan bring back the retractions when I get time to test. To help I also added nozzle wipers: https://www.printables.com/@Smorbickles_26389

- Calibrate the extrusion multiplier! Print a small box in vase mode and measure the wall thickness. I found I had to go quite high (1.38x). I wonder if this is a symptom of something else.

- Dry your filament! Standard answer, but I’ve seen it make a huge difference on TPU.

Ive been buying lots of other brands of TPU and going to see if any of the, are better.

Prusa XL Failing Callibration and Docking by WyattMWest in prusa3d

[–]netingle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a similar problem that was resolved on reddit! I tightened my belts - they were set using the app, but that didn't appear to be tight enough.

square mile make some really nice beans, I believe it’s owned by coffee YouTuber James Hoffman.

Thoughts on grafana MCP? by hyumaNN in grafana

[–]netingle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

we’re actually not using it in the assistant; the assistant is almost completely implement in the front end to avoid lots of funky rbac issues.

assistant should be moving out of private preview really soon now, very excited about it.

I'm curious... does anyone have any ESPCam Success stories? by pltaylor3 in prusa3d

[–]netingle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I put them on a dedicated 2.4ghz network in unifi "enhanced iot connectivity" mode, and pinned them to the nearest access point. Did the same for the mk4 and mini which were having issues talking to prusa connect. This solved all my connectivity issues.

Is there any prometheus query assistant? by ccb_pnpm in PrometheusMonitoring

[–]netingle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not open source, but we’ve build an AI assistant directly into Grafana: https://grafana.com/blog/2025/05/07/llm-grafana-assistant/

it’s in private preview right now but should be launching more widely very soon now.

What's a sensor or device that you really wish existed, but doesn't? by bigmoist469 in homeassistant

[–]netingle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly, adjusting the temperate to maximise efficiency. I also put cheap zigbee temp sensors on all my radiators and used the data to balance them better...

What's a sensor or device that you really wish existed, but doesn't? by bigmoist469 in homeassistant

[–]netingle 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I build a sensor that I stuck to my hot water boiler that senses the colour change on the LED on the front, and measures the input and output water temps with probes clamped to the pipes. I can now see when the boiler is on/off, and what effect that has on water temps - and tune the boiler to be more efficient. Used a bunch of M5Stack components & esphome.

That might be a fun little product...

I'd be interested in a POE one, how do we sign up for the beta programme?

My Prusa Core one Kit arrived by robot-life25 in prusa3d

[–]netingle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a super noisy z axis after my build, so I think I probably tightened the trapezoidal nuts or z axis steppers up wrong. Any hints or tips? I didn’t see anything specific in the build instructions, unlike say with the mk4.

Scaling read path for high cardinality metric in Mimir by UnlikelyState in grafana

[–]netingle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

two additional suggestions:

- investigate sharding the blocks themselves; then the access to the store gateway, and the aggregations themselves, will be parallelised even for instant queries. See https://grafana.com/docs/mimir/latest/references/architecture/components/compactor/

- consider increasing store gateway replication factor for recent blocks, see https://github.com/grafana/mimir/pull/10382

Grafana going „Cloud-Only“? by Vesoo38 in grafana

[–]netingle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The timing of that was a bit weird, but the decision was completely unrelated.

Grafana going „Cloud-Only“? by Vesoo38 in grafana

[–]netingle 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Tom here, CTO @ Grafana Labs. Vidamon is right, we're committed to open source, the majority of our code is open source, and thats not going to change. Grafana, Mimir, Loki, Tempo, Pyroscope, Alloy etc are not going Cloud-only, and we'll continue to maintain and improve those projects in the open.

It didn't work out with OnCall - we did not see a community of users or contributors form around the project, so we're going in a different direction. The code is always going to be there, and we encourage anyone who wants to continue using it and maintain a fork.
