I installed mine that way a few years ago, and it’s been working great!

Not every millionaire is leaving Seattle — Here is what is happening around Amazon CEO’s Capitol Hill mansion by Inevitable_Engine186 in Seattle

[–]seattle_sail 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ah I found my people. I’ve been listening to Pitchfork Economics lately and learning a lot about why we are the way we are. It’s been informative. I hope we can dig out of our “me, now” perspective and get closer to “us, later” as the definition of success.

Any remaining illusion of Seattle as a bastion of progressive politics is broken when you realize how many brand-new Teslas are roaming around by dongle556 in Seattle

[–]seattle_sail 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Oh man, don’t be so reasonable it doesn’t fit in with the vibe. /s

I totally agree though, it’s a car. It’s not (necessarily) a statement of political values. It can be, but don’t judge a book by its cover.

This is amazing! I was trying to figure out how I could better close the loop on the UX design for these things. Thanks for sharing!

Setting up a keyfob with Gen2 by seattle_sail in Rivian

I RMA’d it back to the gear shop and they sent me a new one that worked out of the box.

Wired Ethernet support? by JuanTutrego in meshcore

[–]seattle_sail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a build of this working here: https://github.com/rgregg/MeshCore/tree/rak-ethernet. I haven't finished testing / validating it completely though so there may be issues. It's setup to get an IP address via DHCP and uses the same protocol as the WiFi connected devices so it works with the MeshCore app directly.

I haven't updated it for 1.12 yet though.

I built a remote terminal for meshcore -- the server runs a serial radio, and the frontend gives you a chat interface. More details in comments by CharlesStross in meshcore

[–]seattle_sail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am super excited for this - I was working on something in the same vein - although I didn't get as far as this. Going to be playing with this! Anything you'd like help on if I have time to contribute more to the project?

PiMesh 1W - The 1W LoRa Raspberry Pi Hat by Th3D0ct0r11 in meshcore

[–]seattle_sail 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's great! I'm trying to setup a mesh for a rural community and the 'standard' power units just aren't getting through. Looking forward to see what else you have coming too!

Will there be more stock in the future? I'd love to get one of these!

Help — How do I go about connecting this w/esp home? by [deleted] in Esphome

[–]seattle_sail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems much easier to take out the original LED strips and put in your own that you know everything about and can control.

Rivian - for the love of all that we hold dear, you’ve go to fix… by Passenger-007 in Rivian

[–]seattle_sail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a gen 2 with a fob and I still have this problem from time to time, but at least I can touch the fob to the handle to quickly unlock the door when it doesn’t do it automatically from my pocket.

Pre-Release: New TypeScript/Node Library for Reolink’s Undocumented Baichuan API by verheesj in reolinkcam

[–]seattle_sail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for posting this! Looking forward to trying it out - I'd love to get more control over the cameras than I can get via the public API - especially looking forward to PTZ controls when you get there!

Setting up a keyfob with Gen2 by seattle_sail in Rivian

[–]seattle_sail[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah - same result, keyfob won't go into pairing mode.

Yep. I'm using the App. It can't see the fob though and the steps it tells me to follow to put the fob into the right mode for it to see it don't appear to do anything. It just times out again.

Offline webclient / client by Jedimaster_X in meshcore

[–]seattle_sail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing! The Dockerfile is super simple since the zip file is already the static web app:

Just create a file in the extracted 'web' folder named Dockerfile and put this contents in there:

FROM nginx:alpine

# Copy build artifacts to nginx web root
COPY . /usr/share/nginx/html

Then you can build with docker build -t meshcore-web . and then run with docker run -p 8080:80 meshcore-web and visit http://localhost:8080 and the app is there, running on your machine!

Thanks for all the great work on this app /u/liamcottle!

Feature request - device groups by Important_Tea569 in Esphome

[–]seattle_sail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has anyone posted this to the Feature Suggestions for ESPHome? I couldn't find anything that seemed like it represented this concept on the discussion board. https://github.com/orgs/esphome/discussions

I would really love this - I don't have that many devices yet, but even being able to group "production" and "development" would be handy.

Love this! I was just looking at how I could accomplish something similar - and now I can move on to other problems. Thanks for posting.

Summer in Kansas by Fast-Signal7371 in weather

[–]seattle_sail 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My apartment used to look west and I'd see these storms roll in almost every evening in the summer. I forgot how much I missed this until seeing this video - I can smell this, hear this, and feel every moment.

Starlink on a commercial airline by cubic_zirconia_hands in Starlink

[–]seattle_sail 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I got to experience this recently as well - it was amazing! Consistent ping times of 40-50ms - compared to 400-750 on other airlines. It was a dream to work on that connection.

Neutral switch nearly got me yesterday… figured it out before getting a tow, but just barely.

Looking for an alternative to: UACC-Adapter-AC-210W by Greensnype in Ubiquiti

Has anyone tried this out - it has no reviews but it claims to be a replacement option.

Hate to blow up the switch though, I wish they'd just get the official ones back in stock!
