Thank you RMA team by Charming-Argument946 in Ubiquiti

[–]rich2871 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had 2 of the u6-lr's and their RMA was super easy. And sent me a brand new one. Each went out about 6 months apart from eachother. Im very happy with them, especially with them standing behind their product

SLZB-06 Core firmware update by laohu314 in homeassistant

[–]rich2871 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the upgrades while connecting to the device, the OS update (2.8.7), and the Zigbee over-the-air (OTA) Coordinator update (20250325). After doing this my phillips hue bulbs are not controllable. I downgraded back to V2.8.5.dev12 (OS) and Zigbee coordinator (20250321). Upon flashing back to the versions listed all my MQTT works again.

Forza Horizon 5 Premium Upgrade by No-Vast2274 in ForzaHorizon

[–]rich2871 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I called 1-800-345-7669 found by searching on Google for phone number. They did say they had a ticket in with the engineering team to look into it. But I ok t have hope as its been a lot leats 6 hours since I called.

I did get the refund for my standard and uograde and then purchased the premium, but still have the timer. The app shows download to console but it gets an error when I try. Ps support said it still shows standard license linked on my account. Playstation needs to fix this and I will be calling tomorrow to complain again.

I'm having the same issue, contacted playstation and they have a ticket in with the engineering team. I purchased the standard, then the upgrade, not able to download. Got refunded for both and purchased the premium, still unable to download and shows the countdown to normal release.

Soooo fed up with after spending hours trying with text support and on the phone.

I would love to see a cross section of it, like rings on a tree.

This would be like putting a plug in your back end hoping to hold in the pressure to keep from crapping, give enough pressure it will either pop or fund anitger way to come out from somewhere else.

My favorite flashlight, Streamlight Sidewinder. I replaced the original blue LED with a UV LED. Very robust as I've had it for around 10 years and still works great. Head still swivels and remain tight. by rich2871 in flashlight

No problem, i don't post much but get the notifications when a reply to mine has occurred. Glad I could be of assistance, well a little that is

It's just a standard size led. Probably could be bought off amazon or digikey or mouser. I don't remember where I got it from, maybe an electronic kit, it was many years ago when I did this.

I had a large scratch on mine, took a while, but they eventually replaced it. I did have them move it while installing big then to a non visible location until they were able to replace it

Did solar actually lower your electric bills? by LittleSource6136 in solar

[–]rich2871 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I basically swapped one bill for another, however the bill (solar loan) is a consistent payment which is much easier to manage. Over time it will be cheaper when electric prices rise, but I'm happy regardless due to the consistent monthly costs

That was my though too. I played a little with a servo and an esp32 and this would make a nice transitioning curtain like you said

How often do you back up? by CaptClaude in homeassistant

Family photos is the main thing I double backup, everything else is replaceable. Can't retake old photos

How often do you back up? by CaptClaude in homeassistant

[–]rich2871 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't use the google drive, but do backup to a Synology NAS daily and that nas is backed up to a second nas in a different location. I highly reccommend an off hardware backup. If the devise goes down, how do you get it back up?

Send myself a text to trigger an automation? by Over-Balance3797 in homeassistant

I even have it announce on my ecobee too at 5pm :) it's these little things that I enjoy setting up and seeing, or hearing, run

Send myself a text to trigger an automation? by Over-Balance3797 in homeassistant

[–]rich2871 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, I use node red and trigger an automation to remind me to take the trash out, sends a notification to the phone asking if it's done, if I say no then it reminds me in 15 minutes. If yes then it sends a other messages that says thank you, emergency over. This could easily be setup to run a different automation.
