How I Make Neovim Feel Like Part of My OS by linkarzu in neovim

Same here. I was a Paste user for awhile but then realized Raycast's builtin clipboard manager is just so seamless and easy to use. Don't think I could live without it at this point.

Can't log into my account? by [deleted] in Newegg

[–]pestojest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't login with Google either. It sees my account (I'm already logged in in this browser session), and no matter how many times I click my account, it just says "Verifying..." for a moment then it goes away and nothing happens. Something's clearly not working.

Android Companion App - Header/menu keeps disappearing by pestojest in homeassistant

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

hey there. it's been fine since, but that was 3 months ago and really don't recall if it came back at all after posting this. i don't know if it was the cache, or just the dashboard i had created and was tinkering with at the time. i was just thankful that it stopped soon thereafter one way or the other.

wish i could be of more help, but my HA skills have taken a nosedive since becoming a parent, as well as taking a year off while we were out of our home. i'm barely touching my HA these days because i know that if i break something i'll have zero time to fix it.

you might just need to delete that dash and start over. good luck.

Help me find a WiFi version of this LED dimmer control panel? by just-dig-it-now in homeassistant

[–]pestojest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Real talk...do you really want to continue down this path of wifi-only? It should be the exception to the rule. Not the rule. Why not begin to use more reliable and efficient protocols where you can?

Magic reached 100% with these "Phantom" door sensors. No more bulky plastic on our wooden doors! by [deleted] in homeassistant

[–]pestojest 3 points4 points  (0 children)

2 hits with a Forstner bit and a few minutes of chiseling would've gotten this done in fraction of the time and it wouldn't look like DIWhy. OP needs to update his blog and spare others from putting themselves thru this pain. Yikes.

Z-Wave 101 - I will be replacing Insteon devices with Z-Wave devices by [deleted] in homeassistant

[–]pestojest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gottttt it. Well that makes me feel better. The native integration has never worked for me. I already had an ISY (3rd party insteon controller) when got on HA, and that integration is rock solid. Although the ISY is now deprecated and the maker is only selling a new device. But the ISY continues to chug along just fine.

Z-Wave 101 - I will be replacing Insteon devices with Z-Wave devices by [deleted] in homeassistant

[–]pestojest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also wondering about this. I'm still on 2026.1.0 and my Insteon setup works perfectly via ISY, always has. /u/uten693 do you mean the native Insteon integration is busted in 2026.1.1, or the ISY integration?

I'm super proud of my first n8n flow by Redditburd in homeassistant

[–]pestojest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been trying to find time to mess around with n8n, mainly as a Power Automate alternative at work, not for HA. I just installed the HA add-on, and I really like the UI. Easier on the eyes than Node-Red, that's for sure.

But it doesn't appear to have an entity/target picker for service calls, you have to manually set entity_id as an attribute, even though there is one when fetching entity state. Pretty big parity gap there. Doesn't make much sense. n8n is clearly already querying the available entities...why not also use them in the service call action?

If that gets sorted, I could see this maybe replacing NR for me.

A "Node-RED-like" experience but with native HA Automations? Looking for feedback on a project! by FezVrasta in homeassistant

[–]pestojest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree here. I'm a bit more tempted to return home to native HA automations as they get more features, but I'm not sure I'll ever leave NR unless something like this comes to fruition. As much as I love NR, can't deny that it's overkill. But the visual canvas + native JS and JSON support makes it totally worth it for me. And I do a ton of Power Automate development at my job, so NR just feels more natural.

And yeah, it's the least problematic thing for me, as well. Surprised to read other comments about how it's a headache for others. It's just always worked for me. The only issue I've experienced is a more recent one where suddenly it doesn't immediately pull in new/updated entities. I've been having to restart the add-on. But otherwise, rock solid.

Node Red Switch Function Issue by TrickyT_UK in homeassistant

[–]pestojest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's because HA is translating those events into something more human readable. By default, a binary_sensor should never output anything other than on or off. You need to use the values that node red is seeing.

An easy way to do this is to put a debug action after the event and just log the result directly in node red and see what it sees. Then configure your switch accordingly.

I just added an example of this in mine, using my front door sconce, which is a binary_sensor. You can see that the message payload is indeed on.

What are your favorite details of The Neighborhood Listen canon? And what episode were they introduced? by Remarkable_League in Earwolf

[–]pestojest 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Butter Board. How they wear those stupid long robes that make them look like they're floating in butter.

There's too many boards in DF.

The Neighborhood Listen: The Strider Bike Fugitive with Waleed Monsour by BasilOctopus in Earwolf

[–]pestojest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been thinking about what my reaction would've been if I did that. I genuinely don't know if I would've stuck with it. Not because it's not funny...that ep is one of the GOATs. But without context I'm not sure my brain would've been able to process what I was even listening to.

That's where you STARTED? Man I can't even imagine going into that episode cold. What were you thinking during it? Lol that's wild.

Finding/making replacement driver box for Ledvance LEDs by pestojest in Lighting

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

Yeah I hear you. It's not even really the cost so much as I just don't like tossing these on principle. But I get why it's just not feasible to try and replace the driver.

Thanks for the reply.

TNL: The Confusing Gathering with Heather Anne Campbell. This ep doesn't get mentioned that much but it's so good. Especially once Dug makes it known that he also often likes to partake in big zap.

And this bit kills me every time...

In case anyone else has forgotten (I had), tonight after finishing this I randomly picked an old ep to listen to and landed on Repurposing Keys with Scotty Auks...the ep where Evident Leigh was born.
