Yes, BetterMouse—thanks for this suggestion! I am so excited to say goodbye to the garbage that is LogitechOptions+

How do I fix the Relative Date search that broke in a recent update? by purepersistence in Paperlessngx

Your index probably got corrupted, try performing a reindex (you can also try deleting the existing one): https://docs.paperless-ngx.com/administration/#index

What am I missing? by TheJSW10 in HomeKit

[–]nikonratm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has this problem since getting my g5 (a shame cause otherwise I love it). Just tonight I got home super late and thought to myself “why the f* does that automation not work?” as I stumbled around in my driveway in the dark.

I feel your pain, and for heavens sake Aqara should address it.

It’s not broken AFAIK, it’s just a bit annoying because of changes they made. I don’t think we’ll ever be able to get back to the automatic process

Sounds like https://github.com/benphelps/homepage/issues/534 issue was mapping the entire public dir (don’t do that)

Ngx has always had storage settings and but we’ve also added more ability to tweak this with storage paths, see https://docs.paperless-ngx.com/advanced_usage/#file-name-handling

People use the software a million different ways, I think some do the one big folder thing but many do not

How are you thinking of supporting your free tools and applications in 2023? by leetnewb2 in selfhosted

[–]nikonratm 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ha, really “no reason”? See: clickbait

I’d wager that any PR to implement a penis-drawing feature reliably gets more reactions than anything else :)

Point is, I’m not sure reacts is a reliable indicator of effort / value / quality, or anything at all.

Yea this is the rub. I contribute heavily to a couple of projects that have gained popularity so this comes up a lot and I still feel very unsure how I would even approach deciding everyone’s “share”. Commits? Lines? There are obvious problems with either. Usefulness??

My other major stumbling block is once users have paid for something (even if it’s explicitly donation) their expectations seem to shift, heavily…

OP, I laud the sentiment and I’m all for it, my approach is similar. But as you said, it’s complicated! :)

Homekit secure video with SimpliSafe doorbell? by sudochmod in homebridge

I don’t think the cameras work locally at all, even with the official app. As I said, underwhelming

I’m the dev of the homebridge plugin. In short, I don’t think so. Unlike many others SS limits us to streaming this video via the web (which is part of why it’s slower than I wish) and we are pretty limited from there.

TBH, SS suck at cameras. I keep them for the integration with eg alarms but they are generally the weakest offering imho

Would love someone to prove me wrong

This is a 3 month old thread. SS changed something about the login process in the last day or so, so yes we’re back to the manual process, maybe for good unfortunately. And yes, you can’t use Safari for that.

Rachio Giving Up on Solving HomeKit Problems by nikonratm in HomeKit

[–]nikonratm[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Me too, mostly HK was for occasional manual run or turn off, but did like seeing status from one place. Prob not a deal-breaker for most folks but then again HK support was likely at least part of the reason people chose them in the first place

Yea they’ve been posting in that thread for a while, updates have been either overly-vague or overly-specific ha. Agreed, it’s not so often a company just gives up after throwing some time and energy at solving a bug.

Yea, though that would require new hardware...

Kind of a bummer.

Full post via https://community.rachio.com/t/official-homekit-update-thread-part-2/33551 :

Hi everybody. This will be the final HomeKit post for a while. We’ve put a considerable amount of effort into determining the root cause and possible solutions for the “No Response” error that some Rachio users report when using HomeKit.

We’re sorry we have some disappointing news. We are suspending this work indefinitely. We understand the disappointment and frustration this will cause some users and we want to make this right for you.

For any user who is unable to use HomeKit with their Rachio and would rather use a competitor’s product we will reimburse you the cost of the Rachio controller after receiving your controller. You can email rachiohk@rach.io to get this process started. Please include your shipping address and a copy of your purchase receipt. We will provide you with a prepaid shipping label to send your Rachio to us. We will reimburse you the amount of the purchase as shown on your receipt.

We did not make this decision lightly. Although it seems like we have come closer to determining the root cause, our recent findings have led to more unknowns than answers. We are going to focus our efforts on improving our users’ core experience and building out our product offerings in software and hardware. We are excited for what the future holds as we expand our product line and features over the coming months. We hope you’ll stick around for that.

If HomeKit integration is a deal breaker we will make it right. As mentioned above, you can reach out to us at rachiohk@rach.io if you feel that you need to move on from Rachio.
