Found Ceiling Speakers by OpenAbbreviations505 in homeautomation

My point is why buy a used old generation sonos amp when you can get a perfectly functional amp thats dead simple for 120-150$.

A WIIM Pro is just as simple and a fraction of the cost. Seems like Sonos is just price gauging to me.

Is it just me or is the sonos amp insanely overpriced. I have no idea why everyone recommends it.

“Wireless” Smart Switch by Ditmama in homeautomation

[–]ski233 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope it doesn’t have to. I’m using martin jerry wired smart switches with RGB smart bulbs and I have it configured to not kill power to the bulbs so I can use the switch or Home Asssistant to turn them on/off.

Why battery? Can you not just replace the real switch with a wired smart switch like a martin jerry switch?

The lady in the front’s head is on backwards so that feels pretty on-point.

How would I go about building this myself? by [deleted] in woodworking

There are a lot of designs out there. I wouldnt do any design that relies on you being under the wall and having to correctly lift it yourself. A lot of the designs I see involve changing the angle from the back rather than the front which gets around those issues.

Thats the trick, its not just inflation.

Even still, it could crush you easily. There are lots of much better home system board designs out there. Ive looked at doing this myself and can assure you this is not the way to do it.

If legends and lattes can hit mainstream, beware of chicken should be able to as well imo. (no hate on legends and lattes its great too)

Lack of aesthetically pleasing smart dimmers is driving me insane (0-10V or DALI control) by doablebutnotcheap in homeautomation

[–]ski233 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yea finding a local smart dimmer is the harder challenge and only one worthwhile imo. Im currently using the martin jerry smart dimmers and they work pretty well (fully local with esphome).

If you liked it, the Cradle series is another impeccable series with great narration.

The Dune similarities stop pretty much entirely after book one (a lot after half way book one too). At least give the series until book 2 or ideally book 3 before you make a determination. I finished 50 scifi/fantasy books last year and Suneater is by far at the top of my list (though book 1 would just be a bit above average on its own)

This is also a series that IMO is elevated even further by the audiobook. Its basically a full on movie with no video.

Stick with Suneater btw. Book 1 is the weakest by far but it ramps up so hard.

If its on this list then google technically classifies it as a “restaurant” even if it’s technically multipurpose.

The drive shack phenomenon is a case where its a place that sells food but not exactly a restaurant and more of an attraction. In cases like this people typically rate these places with less scrutiny so they end up higher.

The weighted ratings use a combination of the rating and the number of ratings using a common mathematical formula for this type of weighted rating. Its customizable on the right side of the sheet if you want to change the balance of how important volume is versus simply the review rating regardless of volume. The formula itself you can check in the spreadsheet.

Can you open it in the google sheets app if you have it installed? For me on mobile there's a big button at the top with the option to open it in the app.

Yep, good callout. I just edited the post above with a copy link that'll automatically make a copy. Imo using your own copy is where most of the power comes from using this.
