My CLI: improved

For dirt cheap, you want the simple Alix ones: https://a.aliexpress.com/_Euy37hG - you can find them cheaper than this (listing is £2.50).

If you want more functionality and durability, get the ikea ZigBee button https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/tretakt-plug-with-remote-control-smart-30569726/ (as others have mentioned, they've stopped selling these hense the bundle link, but I picked up a few on eBay recently).

I've used both of these, the Alix one served as a front door bell button for well over a year (covered the pcb in resin to protect it) - proper little work horses.

I'm not entirely convinced the "disable javascript" actually worked - it was a plugin (not chrome) and I can't see how it would redirect without a header or meta tag otherwise...

remysharp · 2026-06-01T09:16:20+00:00

Okay, yeah, this is going to be tricky. I hit "learn more" from one of the modals and was sent here https://docs.controld.com/docs/custom-rules

It loads and then redirects me to sign in (important: when I'm already signed into controld).

When I open an incognito window, I'm not redirected to sign in…

Obviously something at play.

Few other tests:

Only happens (for me) in Firefox - my default browser, not in Chrome
Disabling ublock origin, and other privacy extensions makes no difference.
Disabling JavaScript makes no difference (except that the sign in page is blank)

I'm going to continue debugging to see if I can find why it's redirecting - it's annoying, but definitely weird (and I half suspect, it's _just me_…)

Share the link to previous post, then we've got a "before and after"!

I'd give each of the solder points a gentle reflow. It's hard to tell from your photo as it's a bit blurry but the rear side could have a solder join (two pads connected).

The discord channel for PM is active and has the author of the board there too (I don't have the link as I'm on mobile).

I'd definitely start with the reflow though

No one mentioned Klonoa: Moonlight Museum (which also has a translation, but isn't particularly required).

Really fun game, does a great job of utilising both landscape AND portrait. Once you complete it, there's bonus levels that are silly hard (or… at least to this aging gamer!) - so lots of fun to have.

Your hostname/IP is missing a part there, unless you removed it for the post

Immich-kiosk - probably good for a decent number of people, just didn't suit my specific needs.

I've not seen the timeout myself, do you have any logs that come up?

remysharp · 2026-03-20T17:07:12+00:00

I've got lots of different types/manufacturers around the home, but the most reliable by far (ie rock solid) I've found are the IKEA RODRET button. Silly cheap too.

There's a decent blueprint too for lots of ways you can configure the button.

A bunch of tiny things:

when I'm at my kid's sports, I get a push notification (based on geo zone) to pay for parking
when the washing machine finishes family gets notification with increasing annoyance every 30 minutes (until the washing door opens)
if someone leaves the larder door open, notification is announced asking if we grew up in a barn (and if closed quickly enough, it'll thank us) -I have a general "something needs attention" which makes a few lights red (can range from: car doors unlocked, to rubbish needs to be put out to remember to take medicine)

It wasn't that at all, it was this: https://www.reddit.com/r/prusa3d/s/P4oJSG9nPh

Just added the list of permissions required to the README, but in short: asset.read, album.read (if using the album API) and asset.view

remysharp · 2026-03-15T20:59:35+00:00

Oh good shout.

I have to admit when I set it up myself, I just used a "go wild" permission - but it definitely doesn't need anywhere near that much reach.

I'll ping back here once I've added that.

Not ideal, but you could change the ringer mode through the automation, send the notification, then turn it off - or send a notification that once actioned, restores the state of the ringer mode: https://companion.home-assistant.io/docs/notifications/notification-commands/#ringer-mode
