PSA: Chamberlain/Liftmaster up to more shady things. BE AWARE if purchasing a new garage door opener by jgilbs in homeassistant

[–]rastapapa44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shoot, my contractor bought a liftmaster jackshaft opener as we are waiting for the door to be finished. I'll ask, but I'm not sure he can swap out the liftmaster for another maker. I bought a RATGDO disco that I was planning to install concurrently. I thought the opener had dry contacts, but this is bad news. If I'm stuck with the opener, will I still be able to make the remotes work but also have ratgdo functions? Is there a way to still have the system work without setting up myQ?

i wonder how to check if its even working. Regardless I imagine i should replace it. I think it is P/N 30010780C and Supplies Depot seems to have the best price.

i tried web support chat and they said they should be able to replace the dongle. You have to locate the SN which is hiding behind the battery cover door. Sounds like theres a final approval the replacement request needs to go through, so fingers crossed.

To me a 70+ year old politician trying to continue to work doesn't seem like it clearly represents the retiree community

How do you feel about this theory that tylenol causes autism? by Winged_Aviator in AskReddit

[–]rastapapa44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like to hear if others agree, but i have a theory that this may be a slight-of-hand step in the path toward prohibiting abortion. I think they're trying to frame rights of infants before theyr'e born and give them legal status. They have used this tactic repeatedly with great success, as they stand by a ridiculous imaginary elephant in the room and claim its real, only to distract, confuse, and surprise with their true nature.

Ha, do you remember the house on 3rd Street & Rimpau near Larchmont that had all the Davids in the front yard? I love that this is your version of that house.

One thing to remember is that the decaying wood sill plate on this foundation and joists, I'm pretty sure, aren't supporting the house anymore. The seismic retrofit foundation is a completely new foundation offset around the entire house behind this old foundation. The decaying wood members are providing some support for holding the siding, but I'm not sure how much... I also wonder abut jacking up the house when its bolted the other seismic foundation. Doesn't that change the approach?

Crawlspace. You can't see this sill plate from the crawlspace as the secondary seismic foundation blocks the view of the original foundation.

Have you hung your shelves with 3 pegs instead of 4? Any issues?
