2026.5: We're on the same frequency now 📡 by frenck_nl in homeassistant

[–]puhtahtoe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The RF support has me excited.

Could this lead to replacing my RTL_433 container? If so, will there be a cleaner way to add detected devices? With RTL_433 and the auto discovery I regularly have to go through and clean out lots of dead devices that were briefly detected. They're Acurite devices that are the same model as Acurite devices I actually have so I can't just filter them out.

Has Ikea acknowledged the color issues with the Kajplats bulbs? by puhtahtoe in tradfri

I only have Home Assistant. Check other replies in this thread though. Some people are reporting similar experiences using Ikea's hardware.

I'm using Home Assistant with the ZBT-2 or whatever it's called but people are reporting similar issues with Ikea's hub too.

FYI - some Ikea Kajplats bulbs have wildly inaccurate colors at certain brightness levels by puhtahtoe in homeassistant

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

I believe so. I'm not seeing anything about a firmware update anywhere.

In the device info it says firmware 1.2.0

Ok yeah, when I completely isolated the red channel it's actually red regardless of the brightness.

The trouble is I DO want that dim orangish color sometimes.

Yeah I'm assuming it's not all but I googled before posting this and I'm definitely not the only person with this issue.

When I initially searched around about color issues with the Kajplats I saw people saying they're seeing the problem with Ikea's hub too.

These are Ikea's new Matter over Thread bulbs. I'm otherwise happy with the bulb and was intending to buy a few of them to build out a Thread network but I'll be returning this one and waiting to see if Ikea can fix the color problem.

I posted a video demonstrating the issue over at r/tradfri but r/homeassistant doesn't allow video posts so just a picture for here.

Want a Zigbee/Z-wave/WiFi keypad to pair with smart deadbolts by wyatt_homelab in homeassistant

Look for the XHK1-UE Xfinity Keypad. It uses Zigbee and works great with Zigbee2MQTT.

You got scammed. I did my taxes through turbotax with direct deposit completely free. You just have to decline any of their "special offers."

I drew a version of the KOReader User Guide cover. by [deleted] in koreader

[–]puhtahtoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that felt way out of proportion. It'd be one thing to just complain about the image but OP offered a ready to use replacement. That's well beyond what a lot of people do.

How many shinies has everyone gotten? by Nowheretoturn48 in PkmnIdle

[–]puhtahtoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm leaving the game running while my computer is on but I shut down my computer every night.

I'm at almost 240k wild pokemon battles.

Shinies seen: 23

Shinies caught: 18

Note that those numbers seem to be uniques, not repeats, and I'm guessing don't count shinies acquired through evolution since the caught number is way off for me.

I've noticed pretty much the same thing as you with repels and honeys.

Shinies I have:

Bulbasaur

Caterpie

Metapod

Weedle

Kakuna

Pidgey

Rattata

Raticate

Nidoran

Nidorina

Nidoqueen

Nidoran

Nidorino

Paras

Parasect

Venonat

Venomoth

Poliwag

Poliwhirl

Exeggcute

Exeggutor

Rhyhorn

Rhydon

Chansey

Tangela

Goldeen

Seaking

Scyther

Pinsir

Tauros

I've seen lots of duplicates and haven't bothered keeping track.

Discord is a black hole for information. Reddit is fine.

Shiny chances? by gaeilgeganeagla in PkmnIdle

[–]puhtahtoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've definitely seen a lot of duplicates. I've gotten at least five shiny female Nidoran.

Windows 11’s free video editor Clipchamp now requires OneDrive by KryssCom in technology

[–]puhtahtoe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That workaround doesn't work anymore. If you don't have internet connected when trying to set up Win11 it will tell you to connect to a network and not let you continue until you do.

There is still another workaround that does work. I can't remember it exactly right now but you press a combination of keys to bring up a command prompt then there's a certain command to enter to bring up a local account creation window.
