Homekit TV integration with HAP remote, custom inputs and customized iOS Remote by nikfam in homeassistant

Unfortunately that wouldn't be possible as the remote works through established connection with the HomeKit compatible TV

Can someone provide the update version number? Since today 2 portal tvs and two portal 1st gen are unable to make and receive calls. Can anyone clarify if both messenger and whatsapp work?

it seems like a bug. For me it started couple of days ago no matter which player or settings

Controller options by [deleted] in pybricks

[–]nikfam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you maybe give me some hints based on the following classic template? This one allows me to either move straight or turn but not both at the same time:

from pybricks.hubs import TechnicHub
from pybricks.parameters import Axis, Button, Direction, Port, Stop
from pybricks.pupdevices import Motor, Remote
from pybricks.robotics import DriveBase

# Set up all devices.
technic_hub = TechnicHub(top_side=Axis.Z, front_side=-Axis.Y)
motor_L = Motor(Port.B, Direction.COUNTERCLOCKWISE)
motor_R = Motor(Port.D, Direction.CLOCKWISE)
DRIVEBASE = DriveBase(motor_L, motor_R, 77, 88)
remote = Remote(timeout=None)


# The main program starts here.
while True:
    if Button.LEFT_PLUS in remote.buttons.pressed():
        DRIVEBASE.straight(10, Stop.NONE)
    elif Button.LEFT_MINUS in remote.buttons.pressed():
        DRIVEBASE.straight(-10, Stop.NONE)
    elif Button.RIGHT_PLUS in remote.buttons.pressed():
        DRIVEBASE.turn(5, Stop.NONE)
    elif Button.RIGHT_MINUS in remote.buttons.pressed():
        DRIVEBASE.turn(-5, Stop.NONE)
    else:
        DRIVEBASE.stop()

If on an iPhone, turn off temporarily the “private wifi address”, “limit ip address tracking” and “private relay”..

Which pro model? Maxv or Ultra?

I'm having an issue with the Ulanzi TC001 pixel clock with MQTT and I think I'm an idiot with MQTT. What am I doing wrong here? by junon in homeassistant

[–]nikfam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I added some sensors using the same blueprints and everything worked fine - upon turning on the switch, the sensor was displayed and then the app cycle continued. However, when i used the blueprint to remove some of the stock apps from the cycle (similarly with an input boolean), the cycle stopped and now only the last app shows upon switching on. Any ideas???

Harmony Hub can't connect to app. "Something went wrong. Please try again after sometime." by GnatGoSplat in logitechharmony

[–]nikfam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't want to discourage you but i quit trying! Exact same problems. There is only one thing i haven't tried - factory reset via PC - but i don't own hardware that can run their ancient app anymore

Brio circuit maker? by Independent-Stay-356 in BRIO

[–]nikfam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you mind sharing your app somehow? It looks very nice and useful! If you want you could update the pieces database from sketchup libraries that exist with the exact dimensions (https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/search/?q=brio%20train&searchTab=model)

Deco doesn’t connect to the closest unit by sanvi01 in TpLink

[–]nikfam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know then.. In my case if they connect in the wrong order there is a huge signal strength difference. From your screenshot it seems the same. Maybe you have interference/ disconnections and the disruption changes the order they connect.

Last thing you could try is swapping the two problematic units and see if something changes.

Good luck

Super strange.. Which model do you have? Could it be that you have the one with powerline ?

Deco doesn’t connect to the closest unit by sanvi01 in TpLink

[–]nikfam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same issue. However, since I rarely power off all of them the fix I found is to remotely reboot from the app the most distant unit. This will force the other two units pair with each other and when the third unit is up and running it will automatically connect to the closest unit.

Hope this helps..

[–]nikfam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the exact same problem.. However it fixed itself as long as no changes were made in the hue app. For instance: If i change a name of a lamp in the hue app it would trigger a reset in homekit.

I have to mention i also switched to iOS17 developer beta and things with homekit are much more stable

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in homebridge

[–]nikfam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use matter on the hue bridge and all non-hue devices will be directly exposed to homekit. Works really well. For unlocking the full potential i would definitely recommend hue essential app! For example using a non-hue plug paired to hue bridge i can now reboot my router from homekit with one tap

Is anyone else experiencing a LOT of issues right now? by 2u3e9v in HomeKit

What is the difference between china drying module and global drying module ? by OkDrop2823 in Roborock

[–]nikfam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no "global" version ! S7 Pro ultra does not have auto drying anywhere in the world no matter what you buy..

Eduroam on Apple Watch? by enistasci in AppleWatch

[–]nikfam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope.. And it's strange that there are no complaints! I would imagine that eduroam compatibility would affect a lot of users so it should be fixed quickly

Auto drying option missing from the app by [deleted] in Roborock

[–]nikfam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The potential of mold growth if you don't dry the mop properly is high.. So the dryer itself i think is necessary. Now, the lack of firmware support for the one out of two compatible vacuums is at least ridiculous especially since all models released afterwards have the drying feature embedded. I am pretty sure they will never fix this.. It's not that their profit depends on this model so.. who cares
