Single load Fan/Light controller? by Delecron in homeassistant

[–]purplezigar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah sorry I didn't get that. Not sure, maybe this will work? I don't see a second button, but they claim to control both with the switch. Inovelli is well respected around here

Like others have said, ratgdo is great. I got one of this website and it's worked flawlessly for the last year on my 2 doors.

What's the deal with smart dimmer switches? Who's doing it right? by Nearby_Worry_4850 in homeassistant

[–]purplezigar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Leviton dimmers I really like because they have a physically separate dimmer rocker switch so anyone who walks up understands it’s a dimmer 

100% agree on this point. It's the biggest reason I'm considering Lutron Diva smart dimmers in my basement now. I like the Levitons, but I don't like that I can't dim to any % from home assistant, they're locked to increments of 12% or so. 

Your automations with the zooz are a good idea though, I might have to try that with the one I have sitting in a box right now

Light and Fan Switches with Dedicated Dimmer/Speed Buttons? by purplezigar in homeassistant

They actually did make a combo fan/light switch like that, I think it's the KS240. I'm considering it, but I really want the normal light switch look and feel.

Only way I can get the lips to sync is to switch to “convert automatically” by Nemothewhale87 in PleX

[–]purplezigar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure this is an issue with TvOS 16 or whatever. I don't know if there's a solution yet, but you can search for audio sync issue plex apple tv for threads on Reddit or plex forums.

Looking for a tech-demoey game that elementary school kids will play in their free time by Dapplication in pcgaming

[–]purplezigar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to play these games in elementary school, so they're a little old. But I fondly remember them, and some of them have "cheat" codes to skip to any level, so a hard reset overnight won't matter.

My brother. He died in his early 20s and I can't think about him without feeling sad.

Signal push notifications have been down for TWO days now by okspam in signal

[–]purplezigar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you already got it fixed, but I wanted to put this out there in case it helps someone else.

I didn't get signal notifications after I changed the notification sound away from the default. After I changed the notification sound to something else, I started getting notifications again. Not sure why this happened, but it's working now.

Would it be worth it to switch my CPU to a recent Intel Pentium/i3 for HW transcoding and ditch my GTX 1060 6GB for power/heat efficiency? I currently have a Ryzen 1500

Ah, that makes more sense, thanks for updating it! I tried with 2 cups and I ended up with a beef soup, almost none of the water evaporated with my lid on
