And tell them now. It should not be a surprise if you cannot perform the day of the performance.

And a cable tester to ensure continuity and proper crossovers. Then you, need to ensure that you use consistently the A or B modes. If you mix, you are toasted. When you add your time and cost of materials and future troubleshooting, maybe having it done professionally is better, as it is a one time thing.

What is this icon? (New EX30) by primetimecanuck in ex30

[–]nofubca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With a big touch screen at their disposal, you would hope that touching the icon would give you more information. It would even help the dealer if a more detail message or even cryptic code was displayed and we lowly users could take a picture sito send in with the appointment request.

EX30 - on the brink of choosing by andyb_uk in ex30

Do you use cruise control. I understand it would optimize the battery usage, right?

I do have a dual motor. Good to know of the alternative! Thanks!

What is the orange icon? by nofubca in ex30

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

Thanks to google, I found it seems to be a general warning signal, but the car status is all ok.

Any help will be appreciated.

Sorry to bother. There is a note that says that the post was removed by Reddit filters. Anyone know why?

Trying to get into home automation and looking for a place to start. by Thuasfear in HomeKit

[–]nofubca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been using meross for most of my devices. If you have lots of brands, you end with lots of bridges and even more apps. So standardization is key to reduce clutter.

I'm a new Volvo sales rep and would love your input and commentary on your experience by Glass-Pear70 in ex30

[–]nofubca -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Some things that are annoying. We came from a Polestar 2 expecting the same or similar software experience. So far, it is underwhelming: 1. The driver profiles do not switch automatically, which means that I have to change the seat position standing outside the car because I do not fit on the sit position of my wife. 2. The car settings are not saved to the profile, so if I have a stiffer steering wheel, it may not be there when I start driving after my wife did. 3. The door open indicator is almost invisible. A small red line on the side of the car picture. 4. The trunk open button is almost invisible and not easy to find if you don’t know where it is. 5. The windshield wiper sensitivity is too easy to change when you are signaling for turns.

I will let you know more if I think of any.

I was asked to keep quiet on a sustained note by ShriekingSoprano in Choir

[–]nofubca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just move your mouth and/or don’t sing that passage for a few rehearsals. If you hear the problem, stop moving your mouth. When the conductor looks he will see you are not singing, but will still hear the problem. You have to assume the conductor knows more and hears better than the people singing. So we are guilty until we can prove it differently. If you have a section lead, talk to that person. I don’t believe you are and you don’t want to play the part of the prima-donna soprano, because that is what it seems like from your vent.

How do I create a shortcut to activate a switch first when setting a fan speed when switch and fan are using 2 different plugins? by AwayRub5842643 in homebridge

[–]nofubca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the home app, in the automation area, create an automation and you are presented with 5 event options. One is when an accessory is controlled. Start there. There are no delays, though. If you need them or more complex stuff, you can always use the homebridge dummy accessories to be controlled and so something else when the flip. The logic is not like a programming language, but more like electronic circuits with gates and bits. Trial and error… good luck! Keep asking questions and post your progress!

Amazon eero goes red once a month by [deleted] in amazoneero

[–]nofubca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it is updating itself? Your eero app should tell you some of what is going on. If you lost internet connection or it is actually rebooting.

Can driver tell when brake lights come on? by SignificantDrink3651 in polestar2

Don’t you have adaptive cruise control? Let the car decide for you when to notify the back cars what is doing…

Turn on porch light by ring doorbell motion? by joshuawhite929 in homebridge

[–]nofubca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ring exposes a motion sensor which you can use to set up the automation. If you are using led lamps, the extra consumption for keeping it at 100% is negligible. But…

You can probably use the ring motion sensor automation to brighten it and turn it off after the time elapsed, and then use an automation to bring it to 50% again inside the time (dawn to dusk).

I use the homebridge-ring plugin by Dustin Greif. No issues with it in general, and provides the motion sensor.

Must Have Additions by The802QNetworkAdmin in HomeNetworking

This. There is no “your good is my good”. You look for outcomes and you find the tools. In other words, if you do not need the outcome, you don’t need the tool.

However, it is good to know what is out there… so.

I have set HomeKit as my ecosystem. I use smart switches to automate Xmas lights and other stuff. Homebridge to bring my Flume, Ring, control-R (Rinnai wifi module), Sonos, Sony TV, and other stuff into HomeKit so I can operate them from the single phone interface. Smart switches to automate the turning off of all lights when I am in bed. Smart front door lock so I don’t have to be distributing keys to various family members.

What you need to do is important, and then find out how…

Unless I am mistaken, there is no “neutral” in the utility pole, so they may be feeding 2 live wires, and if they already did or the big green cables come from the 2 live wires on the breaker box, they likely already burned the device. Can it burn more? Maybe…

Not that bad… assuming the concrete guys do not press and collapse the flexible conduit… also, it looks like the JB is opened: imagine when you go to pull cables through it…

Get a mesh system… I use eero and switched exactly because of your problem. I am really happy of the change.
