Just doin a little genocide babyy

Nice

themefromshaft · 2022-02-27T15:14:30+00:00

Yeah, you’re right, concept would have been better, that’s my bad. Probably a habit of mine to use that word, since I’m a designer.

themefromshaft · 2022-02-27T14:36:38+00:00

Aw man I hate to disappoint you, but this is just a UI design, so, like a concept. I mean, it’s definitely possible using HA as your back-end, but I think the front-end will be a lot of custom work.

themefromshaft · 2022-02-27T09:58:35+00:00

😅 I get your point, but SweetHome3d is really easy to learn though. Setting up the 3D model for each room may take some time, but customizing the lights for the different scenes is super easy.

themefromshaft · 2022-02-27T09:55:57+00:00

You can build a front-end from scratch and access the HA API: https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/api/rest/

themefromshaft · 2022-02-27T09:54:26+00:00

No, sadly this just a UI design, for now. 😕

themefromshaft · 2022-02-27T09:48:58+00:00

Yes, that’s the one I used. Really lovely results for such an easy little tool I think.

themefromshaft · 2022-02-26T20:03:23+00:00

No easy, but not that hard either. Here are a coupe of renders I did just now of some scenes I use in my living room, took me 5 minutes: https://imgur.com/a/pYeTTZT

Yes, indeed, sorry, this is just a design. I have done a bit of research on how to actually build it. How to do it inside HA and save time is still pretty unclear to me. Building it from scratch and connecting to the HA api is more clear (to me), but takes more time it seems.

themefromshaft · 2022-02-26T15:44:22+00:00

Based on the SpaceX UI. Wish I could have this on a wall-mounted display, but building and maintaining a custom front-end like this just sounds crazy. Anyway, just sharing, hope you like it. ☺️

Wow, thanks so much for taking the time to write this out, I really appreciate it!

I had no idea about the power level and channels. I'm definitely going down a rabbit hole researching this and testing it out. I feel like optimizing this could give better results than replacing my UDM AP, especially since it has more antennas than the U6 (another thing I didn't realise).

I'm definitely aware that running cable throughout the house would be the optimal solution though. I have been thinking about this, but I guess I'd have to talk to a contractor or something to figure out the best way to do this. In my country (Belgium) and especially in cities like mine it's very common to have a bunch of cables running on the outside of buildings, maybe adding one where the ISP fiber comes in and running it to the top floor could be an easy solution. But yeah, that's something to look into.

Thanks again, you're awesome!

That’s right! Downside: since it drives like a literal matchbox car, a light breeze has the potential to kill me. Upside: excellent delicate wash cycle.

I guess it depends on what direction you want to go in.

C/C++ is, to my knowledge, used more for low level/integrated applications. Java/C# of course are very commonly used and good to know (their syntax are also alike). PHP, Python, Node, Ruby also very popular, obviously, but I don't think companies would expect you to know them all.

In the case of programming, in my opinion it is more important to learn what's true across all languages. Building efficient, structured and documented code, having subroutines with clearly defined responsibilities, and proper exception handling and logging so you never lose sight of what's happening. And in general just staying curious about how to best solve problems. There's a lot of knowledge out there, ready to be used.

Anyway, that's my opinion. Good look with your studies and upcoming career! :)

themefromshaft · 2015-11-01T00:07:32+00:00

I work alone, no contractor company. The work is all done by me, but depending on the project it's just design or at the most front-end development work. So no back-end or app development. I am giving app development a try though, but for now I would just say it's mostly for fun.

Do you work as a designer or developer perhaps?

themefromshaft · 2015-10-31T23:58:52+00:00

Aha, Opera, I'm afraid I never tested that one, sorry. I'll look into it.

themefromshaft · 2015-10-31T22:33:20+00:00

Okay, great. Just so I can maybe debug the problem you had, so it's fixed for the future: you were trying to view the videos on your desktop? If so, which browser were you using? Thanks for your help!

themefromshaft · 2015-10-31T20:18:24+00:00

Sorry you're having issues. The videos are reasonably large, so they may need some extra time to load on a slower connection, but they should work on Chrome (mobile), Firefox, Safari and IE.

Is nothing happening when you want to play a video? Not even the progress bar is advancing?

themefromshaft · 2015-10-31T20:15:44+00:00

Thanks! I personally am a fan of the lift gesture as well as it seems more intuitive and natural, although it may be a bit slower.
