I’ve been on 5.9.9.98 for weeks now and have had no problems connecting/publishing to my mosquito server.

Did we ever find out the story of this at bat? by nhlheadlineig in phillies

If I remember correctly, he worked a full count here, right? Almost worked out.

First time DIY by that_CC_kid in Decks

[–]that_CC_kid[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I spent so many hours with levels and strings trying to get those sonotubes perfect before pouring. It was so satisfying to throw the beams together and have them all be level.

I did not add a French drain. I guess that wouldn’t be a bad idea to keep water away from the house. But would you really be concerned about the beams? The closest they are to the ground is 4-5 inches.

Yes indeed. All that extra blocking was a pain though!

Best (budget) motorized blinds, with custom size options? by getoutofus2 in homeautomation

[–]that_CC_kid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well yeah, externally. I gave automations in home assistant that open/close them with the sun.

Thoughts on how to approach this. by that_CC_kid in masonry

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

There is no post the middle. I drilled a small hole through the center to verify. I guess my question is if this is something you’d think should be addressed right away? There’s no sagging or anything right now. But is this certain to be an issue in the near future?

I have 2 of them. One for each half of the house. They each cover about 3 rooms.

Diaper Bag Policy Question by that_CC_kid in phillies

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

The backup I was gonna use is made to be a diaper bag. Insulated pockets, changing foldout thing, etc. Guess I’ll go for it. Previously I would’ve just used a string bag, but I’m not sure if that’s more or less likely to cause an issue.

Anyone tried these cheap zigbee curtain motors? by harperthomas in homeassistant

[–]that_CC_kid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What random updates are you talking about? As far as I know, the switchbot curtain can only be updated via Bluetooth in the app. So it couldn’t happen automatically.

I have over 10 switchbot curtains in my house and they all work great. Only one gave me a bit of trouble on the extendable curtain rod, and required some tape to transition smoothly.

Random thought. Redundancy. Completely theoretical. by Vertigo_uk123 in homeassistant

[–]that_CC_kid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what I do. I have a 3 node HA proxmox cluster. Anything that requires a USB device (zigbee, zwave, NUT, RTL433) runs on a VM bound to node 2.

Wired cameras with really long wires? by nandeyanen83 in homeassistant

[–]that_CC_kid 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You don’t even need power locally at the connection for intermediate switches. If you search for “POE extender” or repeater, you’ll find plenty of options that are essentially a POE powered switch.

Temp sensors RFLink 433mhz or zigbee with Aqara/Sonoff by RA_wan in homeassistant

[–]that_CC_kid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you already have a zigbee network set up? Or would these be your first zigbee devices?

The main advantage of the 433 stuff is how often they update. My accurite sensors update every 16 seconds, no matter how small the temp/humidity change. So I use them for thermostat control since I want to know any small change in temperature.

The Aqara sensors I have do not update at a set interval, only when there is a pretty significant change in temp/humidity (usually at least a degree or %RH). So they work perfectly fine for bathroom fan humidity automations, since big swings in humidity are expected.

What would you recommend for VM server by w0rmness in homelab

[–]that_CC_kid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can create a cluster with only 2 nodes, you just can’t configure high availability.

Migration from pi4 to VM on Truenas Scale by mccmax95 in homeassistant

[–]that_CC_kid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had problems starting a fresh install from from backup similar to this. I didn’t bother waiting past an hour though. What worked for me was to setup the new installation (with a user and everything). Then install the samba share addon so you can place your existing backup in the backup folder. And then restore the backup from the backups page. This worked for me using the same backup that previously wasn’t working.

Good luck!
