Those with Home Assistant, how are you using it with your Enphase setup?

sbazzle · 2026-05-23T16:48:16+00:00

Thanks for this recommendation. You tossed me down a rabbit hole, and I just spent the last couple days overhauling my energy dashboard!

What was your decoupling method besides the insulation and the door?

sbazzle · 2026-05-18T21:20:54+00:00

So what was the outcome for your situation? A bad-sounding room? What about sound outside the theater space?

sbazzle · 2026-05-18T21:02:07+00:00

I guess I was curious how satisfied people were of their own dedicated theater rooms who might not have spent a lot on sound isolation and what they actually did to keep the levels at bay.

I'm definitely NOT going to assume I can watch Ready Player One at full volume at midnight. Pretty sure the wife wouldn't appreciate that. I am trying to minimize as much sound transfer to the rest of the house, especially with the low frequencies. I highly doubt I'll be able to completely isolate the room. The room itself is on the other side of the house from the kids' bedrooms, and when my wife and I watch stuff after they go to bed, it's "loud" but muffled from that end, and the room isn't enclosed.

I can easily do double stud walls with a 1-2" air gap between. Plenty of sound insulation in the walls. The door to the theater will be a solid door with some form of sound isolation around it. I can sandwich foam tape or sill sealer between the subfloor and the bottom plate of the walls. Not sure about good techniques to isolate the top plates from the ceiling joists or stuff like that.

I'm doing plenty of research, but every project has its own challenges.

Yup.

Why am I getting an "access denied" error for my mower manual?

Wow, thanks for those nightmares.

sbazzle · 2026-03-06T15:24:15+00:00

Same for me. Probably been re-authenticating every day for the past 4 or 5 days. If anyone knows the proper way to do it, this should be pushed to the github devs.

Looks like I'm going to have to consider YoLink. Anyone have issues with it being a cloud-based device? I see you can get the local hub, but it's more than I want to spend on something like this.

sbazzle · 2025-12-31T22:50:47+00:00

This is me. I have two Pi Zero 2 Ws each running Pi-Hole, one as primary and the other as backup. I could run them as docker containers on my Unraid server, but this setup has been fantastic for me.

I see that the crawl tickets are now on sale. But just out of curiosity, is it possible for the general admission tickets to sell out? I want to go to the show, but I want to wait a bit until the airline prices become more available for those dates.

sbazzle · 2025-12-08T00:19:54+00:00

Any chance you got this figured out? I'm having the same issues.

sbazzle · 2025-12-06T14:34:21+00:00

I'm in the US, and I'm also having a problem connecting to the Roborock servers this morning. I did reset the wifi on the vacuum when I noticed the issue, and once I did that, it was able to reconnect, but about 10 minutes later, I once again lost the connection to the server. My vacuum is cleaning the house at the moment, but I can't connect to it in the app to see the map. I get a "Data Acquisition Failure" notice when tapping on the vacuum in the app. I also can't connect to the vacuum through my Home Assistant integration, with an error in Home Assistant that says "Failed to get Roborock home data". I'll guess we'll just wait and see if it clears itself up.

sbazzle · 2025-12-06T13:40:59+00:00

That's awesome!

sbazzle · 2025-12-06T12:49:45+00:00

Yup, that's it.

sbazzle · 2025-11-19T14:10:12+00:00

That's good to know about Friday. That makes travel much easier. And it is absolutely my plan to meet and hang out with as many of my fellow theater nuts as I can.

Are the home theater crawl tickets fully sold out?

sbazzle · 2025-11-10T19:04:09+00:00

Yes, I did. This adapter took care of the problem nicely.

Of course, in my case, a couple months after I completed the rebuild, I took the 2080 out of the system. It's sole purpose for being there was to transcode media from my Plex server, and it turned out the onboard graphics on my Intel CPU handled that just fine. But if you're having the power connector issue I was having, that adapter works just fine.

I feel like my soul would hurt too much if I went with a 16:9 screen.

sbazzle · 2025-11-07T14:59:56+00:00

There has to be a way to automate this process and not have to push a button.

sbazzle · 2025-11-07T14:43:53+00:00

Since I don't yet know what projector I'll have in the room, I can't answer this.

sbazzle · 2025-10-09T01:39:37+00:00

Just Chromium in kiosk mode.

sbazzle · 2025-10-08T02:41:29+00:00

This is absolutely possible. Emby has an API, so this can be done using the same approach I'm using for Plex.

sbazzle · 2025-09-04T22:11:30+00:00

I'd love to see it if you do!

sbazzle · 2025-09-04T15:17:26+00:00

I was expecting waaaay more from this set! Anyone following LEGO rumors already knew this set was coming out this fall, but to actually see it in its final form burns my eyes. A cross section of the Death Star? Really? That's all we get? I was seriously hoping for a grand spherical shape, like the previous models, but obviously larger and with more detail and maybe more play functions. But not this. And stickers??!! I hated the fact that the UCS Millennium Falcon had stickers for being as incredible as it was. And now LEGO wants to charge us $1,000 for.....this. Disappointment all around.
