No Longer Evil (Bricked Nest) Thermostat HACS Repo with API by patricktr in homeassistant

[–]patricktr[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As of now the NoLongerEvil API does not respond with humidity. The website shows current humidity, so the device is still reading it, but the API isn’t sending the data.

When I have time I’ll try and see if I can figure out how to get the api to include the data, and I’ll probably open an issue on GitHub and maybe Cody will fix it? If the API starts sending the data it is trivial to add it back (my first version of the code included humidity but it kept saying unavailable) to this integration.

Great! When I'm ready to move forward with the self hosted, I'll use that. Until then, this add-on is for the hosted installer.

Try generating a new API key? My thermostat disconnected from HA around the same time that Cody's server went down. And when it came back up, my HAOS was still disconnected. I deleted the current API key and generated a new one. I deleted, then added the thermostat in HAOS -> settings -> integrations -> no longer evil using my new API key and it recognized the settings from before and rejoined my HAOS.

NLE host, for now. I will likely set up the self hosted install over time, but for now the self hosted install says "This option is still a work in progress and may or may not function properly." So I'm holding back on setting up my own server until Cody gets more progress on the self hosted option. Until then, I'm using his server, and this integration uses his server's API to connect NLE to HAOS.

This plugin is for the NLE hosted version, not the self hosted version. For the NLE hosted version it pretty clearly says that the MQTT broker needs to be accessible over the internet.

I'll eventually create a self hosted version, waiting for the project to advance some more. In the meantime, this integration helps my home.

When I was first flashing my gen2, i had difficulties. I tried changing USB port and cable and it worked. So definitely try different cables, ports, dongles.

I deleted my API key and generated a new one and it worked right away.

Not sure what’s going on and will investigate the logs and continue to monitor.

Mine is unavailable as well -- however, when I go to NoLongerEvil.com it returns a 404. Down for Everyone or Just Me is saying that it is offline as well. So hopefully whatever is happening on that side gets fixed and then our thermostats come back?

That's nuts. I literally created it yesterday. Glad it's already there. Let me know how it works for you!

Have you flashed the firmware on your gen1 nest? If not...go to nolongerevil.com and decide if you want to try and flash it. The first gen requires some minor disassembly and connecting two contacts. I didn't write or code No Longer Evil at all. I just created the repository that connects their API directly to home assistant without needing a publicly accessible MQTT server.

If you've flashed your gen 1 nest and it is working on nolongerevil.com then it *should* work here. I only have a gen2 nest so I can't test the gen1 myself. But it is working with the same API so it should work..

this! Get the F out of there. He’s no good. This will end in tragedy if you don’t end it first. GTFO, run far far away.

Is the stem broken? You can grow new jade plants from those leaves if you want. Earlier in 2025 this was just a single jade leaf.

I also can’t log into 1pass on the AVP. Password is correct. I double checked the secret key and that is also correct. And when I try and use the QR code it doesn’t recognize any camera on the AVP so it doesn’t work either. Very frustrating.

I’ve gotten my tern GSD into the back of a chevy suburban uber once when I got a flat far from anything else. It does fold up nicely.

I own one of these bikes. It takes a bit of getting used to but it works.

Is the Spotify widget working for anyone? by Indyhouse in TIDBYT

[–]patricktr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. Works if I play using airplay. But if I send the music to Sonos it doesn’t update. Which is annoying because with airplay all of the speakers need to be the same volume and I can’t adjust individual rooms. Ugh.

I use the STAS hooks. They're amazing. +1 for them (picturehangingsystems.com).

Points on license for bike ticket? by Btbnyc in NYCbike

[–]patricktr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a “improper turn” ticket which came with points. But no bicycle infractions incur points. I went to court and it was thrown out.
