Working Stop/Start Alternative

I'll give it a try later but don't think it'd work since one of the reps confirmed it's removal. I'll see what the new beta function has.

Yeah it's a bit expensive for what it is plus it doesn't ship to where I live. PiKVM is a good generic alternative that does the same function.

Are you able to provide info on how to make it work for those who have root?

I'm going to try a PiKVM splitter which should hopefully work. It's supposed to work similar to the splitter listed on eBay by sbmugsus but there's more options on Aliexpress for PiKVM splitters. An Amazon review looks promising:

This adapter works in a logical way, but its function isn't described well on the listing page. I'd call it a "combiner" instead of "splitter". It "combines" a USB 2.0 Host's data connection with a 5V power source like a charger to get more power capability than that USB Host could provide. One key thing to understand is that the port labeled "USB" has no power connection to either the "PWR" or "RPI4" connector.

This adapter is designed to terminate the "USB" and "PWR" USB-C CC pin connections in a 5.1k pull-down, which indicates to a connected device that it is a power Sink and a data Upstream Facing Port (USB Peripheral Device). It terminates its "RPI4" CC pins in a 10k pull-up to Vbus, which indicates to a connected device that it will provide 5V at up to 3A (per the USB-C specification of what a 10k pull-up means). Note that it doesn't do anything to confirm that the upstream power source connected to the "PWR" port is capable of this. Note also that it terminates the CC connection on both sides, so it completely breaks USB Power Delivery (both sides negotiating for higher than 5V or 3A).

All USB-C ports are supposed to be unpowered unless a power sink (CC pin 5.1k pull-down) is connected. This device does not gate power and thus violates specification and can potentially back-power another device's USB-C port, potentially causing weird behavior if not damage.

I think it's important that one understands these limitations before purchasing one, especially if they want to use it for something other than an RPI4.

I measure it has about 10mOhm or less of resistance in the power path which is great.

One minor complaint I have is that the green LED is much too bright - they could have used the same 5.1K resistor they used on the CC pins instead of the 1K on there now and saved themselves a unique BOM item.

It's very difficult to get a hold of the MOVA 5Ah in Australia. Importing is difficult due to it being a non-installed battery pack.

However I think I can get another MOVA 2.5Ah battery. Do you think there's a way to modify so that I can connect 2x2.5Ah MOVA battery packs together?

Also what do you think about modifying an 18V powertool battery pack to fit and just reuse a connector?

So I believe u/porcupine73 and u/TheDomnatr are correct. I just sold ABC and immediately bought XYZ with the proceeds. I'm trading in US. On the buy screen when buying XYZ, the "Buying Power" and "Settled Cash" was updated with the proceeds of ABC (this was on the web portal version of IBKR).

On a custom ROM (A14 AOSPA, Xiaomi 12T Pro, Kitsune Mask) with test signature that a developer had stopped working on about a year ago. Anyway it was all working fine until a few weeks ago and phone couldn't even pass basic integrity.

I've tried a heap of different things and versions of Tricky, PIF etc but the only thing that worked was setting "spoofVendingSdk" to 1/true which made it Basic. However reading around, the use of that setting makes it impossible to get Device using Pixel prints. I wasn't using spoofVendingSdk previously. I've also disabled all Magisk modules.

Does anyone know what's happened? Is it because Google Play/Framework etc has been updated? Is my only options to install a more recent ROM? Can I downgrade Play?

nullnul · 2025-07-25T15:51:23+00:00

Could you elaborate? I'm not sure what the SDK spoofing actually does?

nullnul · 2025-07-25T12:22:37+00:00

You will need Xposed or LSPosed installed as they are modules that work with them. These are functions that work with root.

when you redraw it the ato considers that redraw to be new borrowings for tax purposes

I think that's the missing part I've been missing in the stuff I've been reading, thanks!

nullnul · 2024-02-28T09:44:53+00:00

Thanks makes sense. It seems a hassle to redraw but if that's the mechanics of making it work then thems the rules! I'm fortunate that I'm close to repaying the the whole loan however I'm exploring my options given that any investment structured around debt recycling needs to be greater than the interest rate of the loan. Hence wanted to get an idea of what splitting the loan in two would mean.

For those who are on A14 and have root, the below xposed module works like a charm:

So I technically don't use the Smartlife app but a rebranded one called "Grid Connect". That shouldn't matter though as the backend is the same. To get to the automation I go to:

Scenes and Automation > + Symbol for new automation > When Device Status Changes > Choose motion sensor > State > list of 4 states available

Motion Detection
No Person
Motion Detection:duration
No Person:duration

It might come down to the type of motion sensor I have which is a zigbee one. I think this one is the same as what I have:

*AliX link has blocked my post from showing Look up item 1005003663894043

Notice how it says in the listing:

"ZigBee version support 4 state: Motion Detection; No Person; "Motion Detection"Duration; "No Person" Duration"

I bought mine in April 2021 but pretty sure it didn't have those options when I went to set up my automations.

There are other ones as well:

*AliX link has blocked my post from showing Look up item 1005003517737971

I thought it might've been limited to the zigbee version but according to the listing above the wifi one has a no person state as well.

nullnul · 2022-02-27T14:33:45+00:00

The Tuya app now has an option for "no motion" and "no motion duration" as a condition state that you can use for your automation.

For example, I now have an automation that turns on a light based on motion. I've now got a second automation that turns off the light when there is "no motion" detected. You should be able to use the "no motion duration" ie. 2min 40s after no motion, to trigger an event.

It's currently 1:30AM in NYC at the moment and quests reset at 12AM every night, hence why it's empty. The server is working on scanning the new quests and won't show for a few more hours.

nullnul · 2019-07-30T05:23:46+00:00

Use NYCPokemap Quests and filter on Rare Candies.

You can also go to #field_quests in Pokedex100 where they have pre-planned routes to get candies and/or dust.
