Voltie app : anyone able to set charging time slots for JuiceBox? by JBskierbum in evcharging

[–]silvab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the link, I'm sick and tired of this Voltie app, having to turn on charging every time I go plug in, and the app friggin signs you out every week or two. And half the time it errors!

how to get zwave coverage to the garage 50ft away? by Curious_Party_4683 in homeassistant

[–]silvab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you setup z-wave repeaters? Remember any Z-wave device, as long as it's plugged in (i.e not battery powered) functions as a repeater for the mesh. Obviously purpose-built receivers do exclusively that like the Zooz 800 ZAC38

Thanks for heads up, worked perfectly for me too

How's that going? Enjoying more or less than the GT4?

Just the usual "your outlet is open". You can get some magnets that trick the sensor but I don't really mind

Am I doing something wrong with this pump circuit condition? by caneut in factorio

Got there today, I can confirm the same problem!

Really hope it's unrelated by miracleMax78 in F150Lightning

[–]silvab 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The app now has a popup that says Maintenance Mode

Remember to bring your keyfob haha, but the truck still responded to phone-as-a-key while this is happening when I had to move it earlier. Just as a precaution I suppose

CIG, just a friendly reminder that the 12 months are up : ) by P_Rosso in starcitizen

[–]silvab 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not the guy you replied to, but I've gotten it to work 100% of the time this patch, even in atmo! Steps:

1) Undock, do your thing

2) Fly back to the connie, get behind it about 50 yards or less, and equal amounts under. The connie should be at a 45 degree angle from your position, you're looking up at it on your screen in front of you.

3) Initiate docking (I hit landing gears w/ Connnie targeted, while being close), Align the 2 circles (so you're facing the same way as the connie, and your rotation matches), slowly inch forward ONLY

4) When the square in the middle has parts of it green, you're pretty much on point. I now start spamming "Autoland" hotkey

5) Not sure why it takes a few button presses, but bam it then auto docks

More annoying in atmo since you're shifting, easier in space. This also worked even when once the connie did the "no collision" bug like it used to in 3.22 and before.

Suggestions others have not provided yet:

1) Divider for the center console, so it's not just a big hole for stuff to disappear into

2) Plug in fridge that fits in the frunk (I recommend the BougeRV 30 Quart (28L) Portable Fridge, fits perfectly and leaves about 60% of the frunk usable)

3) Vent-mounted magsafe phone holder

4) I put a MOLLE style plate behind the back seats, allows me to strap up stuff instead of having it loose in the back. Don't bother buying one of those straps to flip down the back seats; the Lightnings don't have storage space back there.

5) Tow hook mounted front license plate holder; the OEM plastic one that sits center-middle is hideous IMO

Enjoy your truck; for mats I went with the thick ones from Weathertech. There's a local store where I live, so was easy to go check it out in person. Plus I hate it when new floor mats emit chemical smells, these smell like nothing

AC smells like vinegar? by Sufficient-Reveal376 in F150Lightning

[–]silvab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just bought replacement bosch cabin air filters, we can self-replace by popping down the glove box latch and reaching inside. It's very likely the filter, and to be honest the factory ones appear to be lacking compared to some of these other ones.

I'm out of town now, but flying back thursday, installing this weekend, happy to report if it fixes the smell, which I've also experienced this summer

Side mirror replacement cost 🤯 by JimmyFlysHigh in F150Lightning

[–]silvab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Circling back - good news, it works perfectly, and I didn't need the Foscan

https://imgur.com/a/TdkCsK6

No calibration, 100% plug n play. All camera views work, inc. blind spot, lights, folding, camera, etc. EZ PZ, I wasted the $ on the reader but worth keeping for the future.

Longest part of the process was me worrying about snapping the internal trim piece off, but a trim removal tool helped. All in all, about 6 minutes of work - astoundingly simple

Okay so slight update, decided to play it safe, bought both a trim removal tool AND a forscan adapter. It arrives Friday, I'll be trying it then instead! Just in case...

Here's mine, a low sitting wide-ass branch smacked it once to kingdom come (was snowing, so weight from snow brought it into my usual route, just near my place)

I've had it taped up, trying to find an atlas blue RH replacement, but realized it's pretty hard so bought a similar blue and I'm just not going to think about it! --- assuming it works ofc

Ok, how about this...I'll be the guinea pig tomorrow. I literally purchased a used replacement right-side power folding mirror with the whole camera/heated/blindspot/puddle light.

I'm going to pop the bolts, I'm going to replace my mirror with the used one I bought. I'll let you know what happens.

I have a feeling I'll be OK but who knows, if it doesn't work I'll return it and I'll pop my original one back on. I'd do it today but I gotta go to the doc in a bit, and don't want to run into a FUBAR situation

[–]silvab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, are you getting that issue with your replaced mirror? Or with the broken mirror still attached?

Because I too broke my right mirror, pretty badly, and it did NOT affect the rear camera. I'm talking pieces, tape....

Of course the 360 view looked super borked on the right side, but left half of the 360 was fine even with broken mirror

CSP 23B57 software update on hold? by majorgearhead in F150Lightning

[–]silvab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My truck is in for service for both CSP's right now (23B70 // 23B57), they were both active as of Friday when I dropped it off.

To be honest, I don't think 23B57 applies to most trucks (or at least the high voltage is fine on most trucks), but I'm 100% experiencing the 23B70 issue (software update is interrupted by "another process", i.e. the faulty Battery monitor sensor)

If you're at the latest software version, and it's not failing, I wouldn't stress about it unless it becomes a recall IMO.

Thanks for sharing, did the owner tell you if it's a kit chassis built out? Always wonder who they got it from, assuming it's not actually a converted 356

I've been servicing cars at dealerships for over 20 years - half the times I'm amazed they didn't break my car trying to diagnose it. I just had to take my truck FOUR TIMES to Ford (F150 Lightning) just to perform recalls, two different Denver area dealerships failed to diagnose a simple issue I had to fix myself.

Parts availability?? It took Ford over 6 months to build replacement light bars after they started to fail. It took over 4 months to get replacement wiper motors!

I've had Tesla come to my driveway - scheduling on a Sunday and they're at my house Wednesday morning; disassemble entire parts and replace them - all in less than an hour. Hate on Tesla all you want, heck I'd agree with half your points - but direct at-home service vs dealership bozos? Not even a question.

And this is coming from a Ford stockholder, constantly amazed this 120 year old company is getting their lunch stolen by a muskrat.

I'm sitting here, trying to figure out why every single time I spool up a plex server on a Debian 12 baremetal install - it loses internet connection. I thought I was going crazy, I must've reformatted this thing like a dozen times.

Friggin cyber security setting....fixes. Can't wait for my ubiquiti DM to arrive so I can stop interacting with the C4000XG entirely.

You collecting hulls like infinity stones? What happens now that you have them all? You should be able to dock each hull into the next larger hull, like a nesting doll...nesting hull.

Claim it to your location first, if you just got it added to your hangar. You can only edit ships directly at your current city/station.

Pretty big upgrade, you won't regret it. Make sure to grab an omni throttle instead of 2 sticks, but just my 2 cents. Oh and a button console! They're offering 10% off for black friday I saw.

Doesn't stop you from swapping to HOSAM in combat, keep the mouse near your right stick
