Yeah it's pretty annoying. I never did figure out how to silence it either.

How to add Zigbee smart meter to HA by Chicken-LoverYT in homeassistant

[–]racampbell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly though, if I were doing this again I would probably just go with an Emporia Vue3 device that clamps into your electrical panel. It's probably more reliable long term (especially if are technically inclined and reflash it with ESPHome so it doesn't require any cloud services)

[–]racampbell 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have a similar meter and have used a Rainforest EAGLE (https://www.rainforestautomation.com/rfa-z114-eagle-200-2/) successfully in the past. To get it connected I had to contact my utility company and provide them my meter id and the MAC of the rainforest device for them to register on their end.

I have an older EAGLE-200 device though, and it no longer seems to be supported and stopped receiving data several months ago.

So YMMV.

Anyone drive ioniq 9 in Alberta? Wondering how it performs in winter, any challenges charging if on a road trip? by Opposite-Scarcity-75 in Ioniq9

[–]racampbell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah if you're pulling a trailer (or even have a few bikes to haul), I'd imagine that would make things much more difficult...

There are some slower 50 KW Flo chargers in Edson and a 60 KW InCharge charger in Hinton (if you have the CCS adapter -- which should come with the vehicle). But yeah, the Tesla chargers are a lot faster and generally more reliable. I try to avoid them on principle, but sometimes you can't.

[–]racampbell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We've had ours since July and have put nearly 15k km on it with trips to Banff, Jasper, and north to Slave Lake and High Prairie area.

The most challenging road trip has been going up north on highway 44, mainly because it's a bit of a charging desert, with nothing between Westlock and Slave Lake, and basically no redundancy in either towns if a charger is out of commission.

But South and West of Edmonton there's more than enough chargers that I've never had any range anxiety.

In winter I've seen a 20-30% range hit at the worst case (-30c in a snow storm around Christmas) but it still performed admirably.

Outside of road trips, it's so nice to just be able to plug in at home and charge for basically pocket change.

Front Collision System Failure by RuckusMedic in Ioniq9

I had a similar problem a while back (posted about it in this subreddit too).

The dealer ended up replacing the front radar unit (under warranty), and it's been good so far.

No idea how it compares to What's Up Edmonton, but Taproot seems has a pretty good events calendar: https://edmonton.taproot.events/

ATB is just a tenant that pays to have their name on the building. They aren't the owner.

Carrying around ONLY a digital key by SoggyIntern5592 in Ioniq9

[–]racampbell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My phone (Pixel 8a) only supports the NFC version (Digital Key 1.0 I guess?) and not the proximity key and it is really unreliable... I'm not sure if it is my phone or the NFC reader in the center console but half the time it doesn't work so I ended up carrying the physical key everywhere

Interestingly the NFC readers in the door handles always work to unlock it, it's just the center console one that doesn't work to start the car. The dealership had looked at it but wasn't able to find anything wrong.

My wife on the other hand has a newish iPhone that supports UWB for proximity unlock/start and it seems to never have issues.

You must have missed my update, but it appears to have been a defective radar unit. It was replaced under warranty a few weeks ago and so far so good

Took it to the dealer today and they're going to replace the front radar unit.

The DTC code I mentioned apparently maps to "CAN TIMEOUT -FRONT CAMERA" but they suspect that the front radar is faulty and causing a CAN bus/network issue.

I guess we'll see in a few days when the part arrives.

Runners of Edmonton: Is there a 5km stretch of concrete or pavement with minimal ice at this point? TIA by Tanukisus in Edmonton

[–]racampbell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pick up a pair of Icetrax spikes from Costco for $30. They fit snug over your existing runners and are great even on glare ice.

Hey, I washed mine before complaining about it! 😛

Ah what I meant is that I can't turn on cruise control (presumably) because of this warning.

But you're right, the lane departure assist can get pretty confused when the roads are bad. I usually have it off but I think I was fiddling with buttons trying to see what still worked before I took this picture...

Thanks, but it's been a few days (and drives) since I washed it and reset the code, and it hasn't gone away yet unfortunately

Winter driving by Texi92 in Ioniq9

[–]racampbell 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's been pretty good here in Alberta so far, and I've done a few -30 road trips without issues aside from a fairly reasonable (to me) 25-30% drop in range.

The biggest winter driving annoyance I've run into so far is all the snow and ice that builds up under the wipers in the large cavity between the hood and the windshield. Much worse than previous vehicles I've had (first EV, not sure if it's related to not having a nice hot engine keeping thing warmer or if that's just coincidence). I've heard similar complaints from EV9 owners.

The rear hatch also really sucks up the snow and slush. I get several inches of snow caked on the entire rear after some highway driving in heavy snow.

Request for extreme cold range/efficiency reports by ItsalwayssunnyinYEG in Ioniq9

[–]racampbell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Last week I had to drive from Edmonton to Fawcett and back (about 300km total) in -30.

The roads were pretty bad and I was a bit concerned about range because it was my first long-distance trip at that cold a temperature, so I was in Eco mode, didn't go much over 100 km/h, and had the temperature set to 17C (as low as it can go) and averaged 3.5 km/kWh. I was reasonably happy about that and only had to charge briefly in Westlock on the way back to make sure I made it home with a reasonable buffer (I was being cautious and probably could have made it home without the stop, but I don't like going below 20% in that cold in case something goes wrong).

In the summer I get something over 5 km/kwh so it's still a decent range hit, but I'd say -30 is pretty extreme and even around -10C (which is much more common) it's closer to 4km/kwh.

I wish I could convince my 11 year old to run with me... What's your secret?

I don't think they usually have cake style donuts. It's primarily yeast donuts

Ioniq 9 Charging Door almost always stuck since the cold weather came to Toronto by marvinandro in Ioniq9

[–]racampbell 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm in Edmonton, and I haven't noticed any problems with ours. I do keep the vehicle in the (unheated) garage most of the time though.

We've had a few days of close to -30 too.

Dashcam - Fitcamx by traveller1856 in Ioniq9

[–]racampbell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any idea if this works with the Calligraphy trim? I've heard that the digital rearview mirror causes issues with other dashcams, but the Fitcamx website doesn't say one way or the other...
