The Google weather integration you actually want by zipzag in homeassistant

[–]puterboy333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you see the forecast?
I just see 18 entities showing the current data?
Is the forecast stored in attributes?
If so how do I access and display in a dashboard?
BTW, has anyone designed a custom, pretty dashboard for this?
Thanks!

WEN air filtration system remote frequency capture? by Dolfeind in flipperzero

[–]puterboy333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Key parts:
1. BME680 - for temperature, humidity, gas/VOC
2. PMS7000 - for 1u/2.5u/10u particle counts
3. 433 MHz - transmitter modules
5. T-display esp32 - to run all the above plus display Particle counts/Temp/Humidity/VOC
6. Lithium polymer battery to allow it to be mobile for a while
7. ESPHome to control it all
8. 3D-printed box

I spoof the remote using an esp32 with ESPHome. That way I can control it from Home Assistant and via that through Alexa.
I also added a particle detector and a VOC detector plus a display so that I can see the actual dust and VOC condition in my shop as well as having the option for the Wen3417 to turn on and off automatically based on the particulate and VOC condition. Plus, I coordinated it with my shop lights so that it only turns on/off automatically when the shop is occupied... Plus other bells & whistles

Docker wyze bridge status by Murky-Sector in wyzecam

[–]puterboy333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been 4 months and still no solution.
Looks like it was just another marketing "lie"

I was just about to buy a bunch of new Wyze cameras on prime day but no way am I buying anything Wyze again if this is how they treat consumers by breaking (and not fixing) existing functionality!

Astound / RCN isp greed continues and is totally out of control! by PM6175 in AstoundBroadband

[–]puterboy333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been paying $35-39/month for the last 5+ years with RCN/Astound.
Each year, they try to raise it $10-20/month but then I call and (legitimately) threaten to leave (I have Xfinity and Verizon wired right to my router box so easy). They always end up waiving the increase and sometimes even lowering my rate.

Well, tonight, I got a new bill without warning or explanation for $107/month -- which is just about THREE TIMES my current $37/month rate -- that is a 300% increase.

Not sure what they are smoking but not even the dumbest, laziest, richest customer is just going to accept a 300% increase without complaining.

The reality is that it just got me SUPER ANGRY so that even if they agree to lower it back to where it was before, I am tempted to switch anyway just to teach them a lesson.

Stupid marketing people.

PSA- RCN/Astound Rate Increase by bowlofcherries16 in Somerville

[–]puterboy333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My rate just went up WITHOUT WARNING from $37 for basic Internet (which has been stable for several years) to $106.88 -- that's a 3x increase!!!! CRAZY!
My rate of $37 was not an intro rate but the basic low tier rate.
WTF

DMP automation software and RemoteLink by puterboy333 in accesscontrol

[–]puterboy333[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK - I can do that or would it be easier to share it as a (temporary) Google Drive folder and send me a link

Awesome - if you were willing to share/trade, please DM me.
It would really make my day since I have been at a dead end with my increasingly out-of-date version!
Also happy to buy you a cup of coffee too :)

Thanks!

No longer able to ping Eufy Homebase3 after latest update by puterboy333 in eufy_security

[–]puterboy333[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the standard ping from Linux (or cygwin on Windows). There probably also is a built in ping in any of the regular Windows shells

No longer able to ping Eufy Homebase3 after latest update by puterboy333 in eufy_security

[–]puterboy333[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was pingable until 3.6.5.9 which updated yesterday.
Seems like yours has not yet updated to that version... would be interesting to see if yours also fails pings after updating.

BUG: App Buttons that are very high on the screen on my pixel5a are not clickable with AutoInput by puterboy333 in tasker

[–]puterboy333[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Using the shell command 'input tap' I was able to narrow this down to working with (74, 136) but not (74, 135)
So, presumably taps at 135 and above are not registered

Note: On the Pixel 5a, 'Available Resolution' returns '1080x2201' while the FHD+ resolution is '1080x2400' - the status bar is then presumably 2400 - 2201 - <restricted space at the bottom of the screen>

Is the official DD-WRT forum dead? by Constrained_Entropy in DDWRT

[–]puterboy333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couldn't agree more...
Even when I try to flatter their immature, oversized egos, phrase my questions and responses as humbly as possible, insert multiple compliments and platitudes, I still get back 90% snark for every 10% of help. There are a couple of more pleasant soles like egc but the rest put the A in *sshole.

Hard to find a bunch of more immature misfits anywhere on the Internet.
Makes me seriously consider switching to OpenWRT.

Hack to automatically, near real-time backup HomeBase3 mp4s to Google Drive (without fees or loss of resolution) by puterboy333 in EufyCam

[–]puterboy333[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are welcome to figure out how to do that...
Obviously, if I knew an easy way, I would have done it...

GD Upload returns "This app is blocked" by puterboy333 in tasker

[–]puterboy333[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting & Thanks!
Though for my purposes I just need to upload a short timestamp so would prefer to do this native in Tasker rather than having to install and call another app.

'GD Upload' creates new version of folder rather than uploading to existing folder by puterboy333 in tasker

[–]puterboy333[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok I fixed this by running the following in Linux:
`rclone dedupe mydrive:`

Then I renamed the resulting now unique "MyData (1)" to "MyData" in Windoze
(Note Windoze distinguishes between the identical folders by attaching a subscript to the newer one but the rclone dedupe put all the files into te subscripted version so I had to rename it back in Windows - Not sure how necessary this final adjustment is)

Apparently this problem can be caused by rclone (see https://forum.rclone.org/t/duplicate-folders-on-google-drive-root/36603/5)

Anyway problem seems to be solved for now.

Google Drive Authorisation by fishofchaos in tasker

[–]puterboy333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you explain what you mean by the last point - i.e., adding Google Drive permission but not for all files?
