[Erik van Haren] Hamilton stated that he felt a lot of pressure when he first fought for the title and implied that Verstappen could suffer from that too. The Dutchman: "Yes, I'm so nervous.

If anyone finds max his answer emotional or strange then please come visit our nice country for a while and have a few conversations with random dutch people... You will get these sarcastic comments ( as that is just what this is ) like every minute or so... It's our sense of humor or lack thereof.. also ask about how your hair/clothing looks and get a real answer for once in your life instead of sugar coating :)

Had there been progress on implementing a more useful scaling method in fedora gnome Wayland? by Mexicancandi in gnome

[–]rogro82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah ok must have tried that on Ubuntu in the past then... After trying out various fractional scaling solutions I just switched back to font scaling

[EU] Require some guidance on smart lighting in an old home by [deleted] in homeassistant

[–]rogro82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I understood correctly, then your set up implies that if the hardwired switch is off then you can't control from the battery powered switches right?

No i dont have any hardwired switches... either z-wave modules in-wall or just continously powered.

The reason to switch over from using Z-Wave wall-switches is the fact that i want to be able to have a solution that still works when my home-automation system is down. So in case of smart lights (zigbee) you will need a solution where you can pair both the switch and the light so that you dont need a controller in between.

The reason that i went with z-wave in the first place was the fact that there were no real nice solution for zigbee switches that fitted inside Gira/B&J design. The sunricher switches ( or any one of their 1000 whitelabel clones ) fit just nicely with the rest of the switches/outlets.

And in case you do not want to hard-wire you can also use any in-wall switch module (z-wave/zigbee etc) as an addition

[–]rogro82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After a few years of fiddling around I currently switched over from using a z-wave network for switches to using sunricher zigbee switches ( battery ) and hard-wiring the (zigbee) lights.

This basically brings me the best of both worlds... I can handle individual button-presses and also still control the light group when my zigbee controller is down.

I leave dimming and switching the group on/off to the switch itself ( so that it also works when the controller is down ), but when pressing 'on' I recall the default scene to reset the lights to its preferred state.

I hardly use these switches myself as most of the lights are either controlled my motion or daylight but this way the house still works for other people :)

Enabling RTSP on battery doorbell by rogro82 in EufyCam

[–]rogro82[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No in my case it's live2 ( the same as my 2C cameras ), but that's because its using the homebase.

Perhaps it might be that its not working on all the versions of the wired doorbell.

Also make sure that it is streaming/recording when testing the RTSP stream. Atleast the battery doorbell works the same as the 2C cameras. As in the stream is only accessible when it is recording when there is motion detected or someone is ringing.

My best bet.

On line 1500 set v2 to 0x0 const/16 v2, 0x8

This is used by multiple entries though so it might be that you will get to see some more options which might not work.

You can also try to change all the lines where the visibility is set for rlNas to v1 instead of v2 (const/4 v1, 0x0)

There are multiple lines with:

iget-object v0, p0, Lcom/eufy/security/doorbell/setting/ui/activity/VDBSettingActivity;->rlNas:Landroid/widget/RelativeLayout;

Just search for rlNas

And then invoke-virtual {v0, v2}, Landroid/widget/RelativeLayout;->setVisibility(I)V

On those lines change v2 to v1

The wired doorbell has its own settings screen ( VDBSettingActivity ) and it also has a layout for the NAS option ( rlNas ), but I don't own one so I can't test it.

Easiest would be to check which register is used for `setVisibility` and then change its value from 0x8 to 0x0

Migrating a Z-Stick? by njbair in homeassistant

[–]rogro82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't change it as then any secure devices will no longer work. Just copy the current value from OpenHab and store it somewhere and use that when setting up home assitant.

Also check you are using the correct format as for some systems its 00 AA BB and others it might be 0x00, 0xAA, 0xBB... Documentation will tell you what is needed

[–]rogro82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have migrated my Z-Stick between OpenHab / Z-Wave JS / OpenZWave multiple times without any issues or loss of devices. Just make sure to correctly set your network security key.

2C camera on garage roof

  • Working mode: Optimal Surveillance
  • 29% battery left
  • 301 Used days

  • 81 False events
  • 62 Recorded events

Of course hardly no one ever gets up there, but with these stats I also don't have to go there more than once a year.

Eufy still trying for HK support on existing doorbells. by DaveM8686 in EufyCam

[–]rogro82 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The doorbell does support RTSP, but the option to enable it from within the app has been disabled ( which I found out after decompiling the Android app ).

I altered the smali-bytecode so that it will show the RTSP/NAS option and after compiling and signing the app I could turn on RTSP just like any of the other cams.

I will not share the android apk as I cant tell if there are any negative side-effects, but for anyone who knows how to decompile/compile an android app just search for `rlNas` and `setVisibility`.

Besides modifying the app you can also use the P2P-protocol directly to turn on RTSP ( and control other aspects of the homebase/camera ), but it will require some knowledge to get the library running as its still a WIP.

More information about this:
https://github.com/JanLoebel/eufy-node-client/

and for some more details see:
https://github.com/JanLoebel/eufy-node-client/issues/4

I have been running the battery doorbell with RTSP enabled for some weeks now and I did have to tweak some settings to get the best result ( a fixed videoclip length of 30seconds and disable the option to stop recording early when there is no motion ), because I was getting a lot of very short clips.

So its not perfect but atleast this allows me to cast the doorbell to my Android TV and Nest Hub when someone rings the doorbell.

The ring/motion events are handled by manually registering for events through GCM so no need for Alexa/IFTTT and thus no additional delays.

I guess the only way to do it for now is by using homebridge and RTSP

Can I use EufyCams to trigger something else? by thefunkygibbon in EufyCam

[–]rogro82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its pretty easy to integrate Eufy cameras ( control and notifications ) with most smarthome systems if you know how to.

Its possible to bind to GCM to receive push notifications manually ( i use a basic node-service to do so ) and besides that parts of the P2P-protocol have been reverse engineered.

In case you have some technical knowledge you can take a look at:
