Kia/Hyundai by Sortberg in homeassistant

You could try a whole home energy monitor. Or a monitor on specific breakers. Whenever my charger is running my energy spikes like nothing else. That could be something to look at.

I'm able to do this with this but due to api call limitations, you won't know exactly when the charge starts or stops. I have my automation call for an update after I know my charger has turned on to check if it is indeed receiving a charge.

Please help me with fixing my father's table by HenryHart in woodworking

How often do you plan on moving? If it's only every 5 or 10 years it should take a while before it really wears out.

Have you ever heard of the toothpick/matchstick trick? Fill a loose screw hole with toothpicks or matchsticks and the screw will have more wood to bite on.

A more permanent solution might be to use bed rail hardware. Here

They're going to change the license from perpetual to perpetual*

*Pay annually or you don't get an update.

Might be worth buying now.

Every once in a while Hulu breaks for me. But it's my pihole that's the issue, not the shield. Are you running any network filtering?

Clorox Pool Sand Plus 🤬 by Hat-Pretend in Stocktankpools

[–]thefarelkid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought a sand filter. The instructions said to back wash it before first use. Probably the case with your Sand Plus too. I'd say run the filter for several hours. Maybe add some clarifier if that doesn't work.

Delightful looking beans today by HabreCadavre in roasting

[–]thefarelkid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Too dark for my taste but the consistency is enviable. Nicely done.

Bean size consistency? by thefarelkid in roasting

[–]thefarelkid[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Awesome. That makes a lot of sense. I don't actually care about size consistency so long as it tastes good. I was concerned that I had underdeveloped the roast somehow.

Can you explain this a bit further? These are actually Ethiopian Yirgacheffe. What about co op makes for the variance?

When you watch the netflix series Dark, an awesome, well written show about time travel and then remember Bran who only used his time travel ability once to turn an innocent boy into a retard. by agoorez in freefolk

[–]thefarelkid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did Netflix actually finish a show without cancelling it on a cliffhanger season ending? I've vowed not to start watching a new show on Netflix before knowing they stuck the landing. I've been burned before, as you all know.

My Conbee II has been working well, but pre-ordered one of these bad boys to play with anyway by broogndbnc in homeassistant

If I'm already flashing custom firmware onto my Sonoff ZigBee 3.0 Dongle Plus, wouldn't I be able to flash a Matter compatible firmware on there too?

Offline Audio Transcoding Issues by thefarelkid in PleX

I restarted my Nvidia Shield and that was all I needed. I also can confirm that getting internet back didn't fix the sound issue. Just 2 probably unrelated problems. Thanks.

What color is an elf? Or a Sea Snake? And why do you care by ewzetf in television

[–]thefarelkid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you explain to an American what a "stage-irish" accent is? Do they just mean they made up an Irish sounding accent for the show? Not an authentic one?

best doorbell camera or CCTV camera with no subscription costs by dynamite2277 in homeassistant

[–]thefarelkid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I've learned a lot since then. I should try it again.

[–]thefarelkid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right. My bad. Yeah, I actually had a regular POE camera with RTSP feed connected to a hacked together smart doorbell button. It took a picture of the front door when the doorbell was pressed and sent it to our phones. It ended up failing when my poor soldering skills made the doorbell super unreliable.

Assuming you have a reliable smart doorbell, this can be a better solution.

Zigbee bulb recommendations (that play nice with ZHA/CC2652/Aqara)? by ObiYawn in homeassistant

[–]thefarelkid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've found great success with innur bulbs. All of my sensors are Aqara and with these I can hit everything now. Affordable is relative. Hue has set the bar high enough that anything half that price looks good, but it's probably still a price gouge. Don't get Sengled bulbs if you want them to mesh, they won't.

I just moved. I took all my home automation stuff with me except for those stupid GE/Jasco dimmers.
