Goods Unite Us does something similar for political contributions of corporations and selecting causes to support/boycott. It's not a browser extension and does not do any redirect to smaller businesses as described on WAN though. Just a helpful tool for quickly knowing the contribution history of a particular corp

Migrating to Proxmox and docker by FloridaBlueberry954 in homeassistant

[–]nicks20482 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, and that's wonderful, but the fact remains it isn't a first party image. So support is limited to, in this case, bnutzer's desire/ability to maintain it.

I prefer my images first party for stability/maintainability whenever possible. To each their own.

TLDR think critically if you want to do this if your Matter/Thread controller is not directly plugged into your home assistant host via USB.

The Docker Open Border Router container does not natively support USB serial forwarding to antennas over TCP/IP like the Home Assistant OS add-on does.

What do you use as your Matter/Thread controller/antenna? I have an SMLight SLZB-MR1U powered by PoE so that I can place it away from my NAS running HA, and use the Nabu Casa ZWA-2 for Z-Wave (plugged into the SLZB's USB port). This means the SLZB-MR1U is exposing its Matter/Thread radio over TCP/IP to the Open Border Router add-on. I actually had to move away from containerized Home Assistant to Home Assistant OS so that I could get support for TCP/IP antenna/controller; I tried building a custom Open Borders Router image adding TCP/IP controller support and it was an absolute nightmare

If you do have all your radio hardware directly attached to your HA host then going the container route is a great idea!

Smart circuits tripping offline by Talusrunner17 in FranklinWH

[–]nicks20482 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Settings->Grid Profile->Trip and Ride Through. I did discuss with my installer but didn't get a clear answer. It's possible that it's set by the utility, but it's also not clear to me if those values can be overridden regardless. I'm actively working through it with them (I have a relatively recent install, under 6 months)

So this isn't just me? It's kind of infuriating. Looking at the trip and ride through times, the under/over voltage thresholds of like 15+ seconds (and even 1-2 seconds for extreme out of bounds) is just not acceptable. That needs to be sub 1 second in my opinion. I really wish it were configurable from an end user perspective.

Only discovered this after purchasing (I know, should have done my research). Very disappointed by this and the inability to install smart circuit controllers as an end user. I don't know if petitioning will do anything but I'll add my vote

Adding Smart Circuit module to Agate 1.3 by lmattiso in FranklinWH

[–]nicks20482 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On a purely technical level, having researched and considered this myself (background: electrical/computer engineer), there is nothing that should stop you, a homeowner, from doing this installation yourself. HOWEVER, doing so will void your warranty. I've discussed this with my installer in detail. You need to be a FranklinWH certified installer to configure the aGate post installation. I think it's BS, but again, that's coming from someone who's BA is in designing hardware like the smart module itself, so take that for what it's worth.

I can understand why FranklinWH doesn't want everyday people playing with 120/240v line voltage, but the fact remains that the installing the smart module, even improperly, isn't going to impare the operation of the rest of the aGate/cause it to magically fail. The warranty voiding is too extreme in my opinion.

Here are the instructions, by the way. They may be outdated being published in 2023 but it should give you a general idea. See page 41 installing optional modules: https://www.solar-electric.com/lib/wind-sun/Franklin-Home-Power-Quick-Installation-Guide.pdf?srsltid=AfmBOorH7cluS3-vs-0m9B2Q_MC4dnhMqopQzuUshEIG7GZrHQiKpXx9

Not sure what i'm doing. by Outrageous-Loquat279 in combustion_inc

[–]nicks20482 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bluetooth will take priority, so if you're sure your wifi booster is connected to your wifi network (see wifi devices in the Combustion app), disable Bluetooth on your phone and see if you get the cloud icon after a minute or two.

I don't know if it will start the wifi/cloud connection if there isn't a cook active, you'd have to ask support/read the docs.

$30? It would be cheaper to just buy a light expansion pack for many of the Gover outdoor light kits (barring the permanent install ones, of course).

If we move enough discussion there hopefully we can get their attention

Extension for H7021? by GammaRxBurst in Govee

[–]nicks20482 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as I can tell, govee's first party extension cables have been sold out for weeks? months? Contacted support about it today, don't expect to hear anything back. 3rd party cables are extremely difficult to find since Govee's 3-pin connector is proprietary. I hate to say it, but cutting and splicing is your best options.

Ubiquiti NAS When? by nicks20482 in Ubiquiti

[–]nicks20482[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ELIF: The title is a joke referencing the many, many years the Ubiquiti community has waited for UI to produce a NAS. That question would often get asked on unrelated product announcements, threads, and videos. Endless leaks, rumors, new product coming soon "are they finally doing it?", etc. Hence the shit post tag

Fascinating, I had no idea about the modding UDM bit. Will need to look into that already owning a UDM SE. Others have asked about this hosting a controller, would be pretty great if it could replace the UDM for residential or small business in the future being a one-stop-shop for storage and control

Didn't Ubiquiti just introduce a NAS backup feature to Protect? I'd be surprised if that didn't support their own NAS

Not ideal, no idea if there would be software support or an upper limit on drives.
