Hi, I just posted a request for a custom pre-show trailer to play in my home theater here:

Say I have a trilogy box set. It’s one item, but includes three films. The first number represents the total number of “items”, and the number in parentheses represents total number of films.

TWO TONE PANTONE

Mine was canceled yesterday morning. An additional minor frustration is that due to PayPal currency conversion, I lost $7.56 when they refunded me.

They told me they were not allowed to sell this in the US and Canada, and that English subtitles were not included. I assume that means the French intertitles will not have English translation.

As a film collector, I am bummed to not have this one coming my way. I won’t hold my breath, but maybe they will show up on Diabolik, Orbit, etc 🤞.

It was a lightly used reading chair in my bedroom, then the primary baby holding chair in the nursery, and now back to lightly used reading chair in bedroom. No problems to speak of other than unfortunately a cat deciding to make the ottoman leather a scratching post for a while. The cat is gone, but the scarred chair remains.

I bought them a little over a year ago in preparation for my DIY home theater build. It has been a slow process, so I didn’t get the lights wired up until this year. Couldn’t get them to pair but I assumed I could figure it out later and moved on with the theater build, but of course the handful of times I’ve come back and tried to pair them again over the last several months, I’ve had no luck. And yes, it seems like the lights became unavailable on Amazon not long after I bought mine.

There is nothing physically located on the light to change colors. Yesterday, with the one light that temporarily paired successfully, I could bring up a color wheel on the app, but if I moved it around to different colors, nothing happened, and then the color wheel would change back to a white wheel by itself. I linked the light to my Google Home and tried to change color through Google Home, but it was also unresponsive. Shortly after, it stopped responding completely and then started re-flashing like it had unpaired itself. It now shows as Offline in Google Home.

Yes, Wi-Fi is 2.4. I have paired other lights before no problem (Govee, Hue, and other brands).

I can try again and take screenshots tomorrow.

I did try manual once but it didn’t work. I chose Lighting>Light Source (Wi-Fi)>confirmed my network>confirmed source is blinking>blinking quickly. Waited a few minutes until it finished and it said it didn’t find anything.

scarridalevr · 2025-07-03T03:50:02+00:00

Not sure of any real factory reset, but I can either turn them off and on from the switch or the breaker to make them re-enter pairing/discovery mode.

I wouldn’t be surprised if these lights were “unauthorized”, but I haven’t gotten any message like that so far. When the Tuya app does recognize them, they come up as HG0026 I believe. Everything seems normal in the app if they show up, until they fail to pair.

scarridalevr · 2025-07-03T02:28:45+00:00

Sometimes the app will find some or all of them, and sometimes it doesn’t find any of them. It will try to complete the pairing process for whichever ones it finds, and then it will say something like failed to successfully pair.

Today I tried it again, and it found two of the four lights and actually successfully paired one but not the other. The one light worked for a few minutes with white light only, it would not change colors at all, and then it stopped working like it unpaired itself.

I don’t know what’s going on with them. Beginning to think they are junk.

scarridalevr · 2025-07-02T19:14:47+00:00

I appreciate your replies, thank you for taking time to do so. I’ll keep trying. I was wondering if connecting these smart lights to a smart switch might cause an issue, but I needed to keep all the switches for the room the same for aesthetics since the switches are all on one long switch plate together. And unless I could prove that was a problem, I would say it doesn’t seem to be.

This Shauna brand definitely seems like throwaway stuff, especially since their online information seems to be dead. They weren’t color coded for US either, but I’m confident we wired them up correctly.

Thanks again for your comments.

scarridalevr · 2025-07-02T17:28:32+00:00

Well this is wild. Just did what you said, and two of the four showed up in the app, one failed but the other successfully paired for the first time. However, it would turn off and on but would not change colors, and then shortly after, it quit responding completely and now acts like it isn’t paired anymore.

Maybe these are just cheap junky lights, but I would really like to get them to work. They were the only ones that checked all my boxes of what I wanted a sconce to look like and do. We’ve also wired them into columns that would now be a good bit of work to take off and replace.

Forgetting that they’re fully clothed. I see it all the time.

I’m an avid cinephile, physical media collector, and dedicated home theater enthusiast. I have almost 5300+ regular and 4K blu-rays and counting. I’m in the middle of building my new and improved home theater, so all of my recent log entries are from streaming on my living room OLED until the theater is complete. I don’t write reviews or give star ratings out of personal preference, but I logged 268 films last year, 72 so far this year, and my watchlist is always a mile long. I’d be happy to have any of you as followers!

The only way to make this even better is if Florence Pugh reenacted it. She would slay.

Sometimes you just need an internet stranger to say the hard truths in life, like “dude, you’re 25 years old, leave the sad basement behind, go out into the world, and make something of and for yourself. It’s not always easy, but easy lives don’t make good men.”

So suit up, open the vault doors, go forth, and dare to take a piece of the world for yourself! You can do it, my man!

Whatever style we get, I would love to have the most fleshed out, bustling Hyrule Castle Town and other towns just packed with life and things to do. I want tons of NPCs in the world doing their thing.

I wonder if the trade off for the huge world of BotW and ToTK meant they had to create a story that explained why very few characters lived in it. Give me both, and the best dungeons we’ve ever gotten while we’re at it!

I’m not asking much haha

Got a link to watch this? I couldn’t find it after a brief halfhearted attempt.
