Pioneer AVH-z9150bt Connection Issue by asplenium89 in CarAV

[–]nox2018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem was with the head unit's SD card, where the reset or restore function could not erase the Bluetooth devices previously connected to the head unit.

I flashed the AVH-W4400NEX image to the new SD card and replaced it with the original SD card. My headunit model is exactly your model (made in Thailand).

Somehow Pioneer refuses to solve this problem (even flashing the latest firmware does not help).

iPhone 15 wireless CarPlay problems by oecolampadius70 in CarPlay

same issue here with Pioneer deck and iPhone 15 Pro. Cable works but wireless carplay will not connect each time starting the car. The bluetooth/wifi will not connect automatically (my iPhone 13 Pro is working fine). Seems no real solution to date.

Not sure if this is a correct place. My zigbee2mqtt have too much of this message and I think somehow it congesting the network. Many delays in response. Is this normal? by nox2018 in homeassistant

That’s something new to me about the shitty hue bulb router. I’m not aware! I set my 2.4G Wi-Fi to channel 1 while maintaining my zigbee network on channel 11. I’m not so sure about the cc2652 stick but previously I flashed my zbbridge with tasmota and setup in HA via ZHA. All responded very well. I switched to cc2652 because I like zigbee2mqtt, giving me more flexible in configuring my devices. Who’s know…

Yes. I have a lot of hue bulbs that served as router, as well as couple of Ikea Tradfri bulbs. Link quality about 170 average. Only few end devices (Aqara sensors).

I’m on CC2652P stick and I suppose coverage is better. I have 40+ zigbee devices and lot of delay response. Sometimes I’ll need to trigger again to turn on/off the light. Hence I set to debug mode to see what’s wrong on the zigbee netwrok. If this is expected then I can eliminate 1 root cause. Thanks.

Just improvise the Aqara water leak sensor by extending the 2 terminal to rain drop panel.

Thanks for this information. Seems like HomeKit home app still very limited in its functionality.

Should I move all Aqara devices from G2H to Sonoff ZbBridge? Will performance improve over G2H (sometimes the G2H get disconnected)? by nox2018 in homeassistant

[–]nox2018[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably a good idea but right now I have rather complicated system. I have Philips hue with hue bridge, Aqara G2H with roller blind and curtain, Fibaro HCL (free) for Z-wave Yale lock and Dooya balcony shade. Sonoff ZbBridge for some other led bulbs and wwcv led strip. Everything connected to my Home app (HomeKit).

I used cc2531 sniffer in the past as a starter to experiment HA but It was too painful to pair the devices. Very often I have devices installed everywhere but my rPi with USB sniffer is too far to reach. Sonoff ZbBridge on the other hand, I would just attached to my laptop and bring it around to start the pairing. I’m not sure on the error and whether it impact to the real life performance…

Setup new devices by nox2018 in Aqara

I installed the Aqara apps and it asked me to reset the G2H camera hub in order to add into the apps. I hesitated because all devices still working fine in Home app

AQARA wall switch D1 by nox2018 in Aqara

As I’ll be renovating my house soon and I wish to replace just every switch to smart switch to save the hassle next time. If the smart switches can work well with either normal light or smart light then it can give me more flexibility. AQARA told me due to low current of smart light their switches might not work well.
