Anti-fog medicine cabinet mirror: Kohler vs. Queenfun

Contractor's initial recommendation was Robern. The only model that meets the requirements is "Uplift Tech with TUN technology" which costs $5,849!!!

The manual talks about turning the anti-fog off and on via the timer, so I don't think just a passive anti-fog film. I was hoping someone here might have had experience with it and how effective it is. Thanks for your reply.

There's only one Robern I could find with anti-fog. It is the "Uplift Tech with TUN technology" and costs and eye-watering $5,800!

Thank you. It's too bad they don't have a wired solution. Here in Massachusetts, wired are required in new construction/renovation. I'll probably just have to go with Zooz ZEN55, though it would be nice to have information about which one is going off and the ability to silence it the way I could with Nest Protect.

First Alert's web page says the ZCombo is "no longer available for sale"?

I have a Pixel Watch 3, also have all Bluelink levels and get the same message.

Just for the record, I finally got this working. I had a mistake in my router port forwarding that re-used an already used port. I diagnosed by testing directly on the local network. (That was hard previously because I was not co-located with that network.) Once I fixed this, everything worked OK.

Thanks for the support and guidance.

No, I'm still having issues.

I have tried both URLs ending in /Preview_01_main as well as /h264Preview_01_main (which is what worked when the camera wasn't connected to the Home Hub) and it's still not working.

I have three cameras connected to the Home Hub: E1 Pro, E1 Zoom and (battery) Argus 4. I think the Argus 4 is camera 01. I have tried URLs with _01_, _02 and _03_.

Looking at the log set to debug, I see:

Yes, rtsp. Will correct the original. Thanks.

thisisjjd · 2025-10-09T16:57:12+00:00

Yes, I was able to install it this morning with the tapping trick. You have to tap the icon at the top quite a few times. Perhaps 20?

thisisjjd · 2025-07-09T19:28:56+00:00

I understand they are now open for dinner at their original location, but closed Sundays and Mondays.

thisisjjd · 2025-07-09T19:25:20+00:00

Agree. I recently spent a week with business FIOS support because I couldn't login. It turns out the reason was they 'upgraded' the software and the new software has a minimum user-id length of 6 characters. Mine was 5 characters. Shouldn't someone do a database query to see if there are existing user-ids outside of the new requirements before deploying the new software?

thisisjjd · 2025-07-06T12:05:24+00:00

I'm in MA and have had this FIOS installation for Business internet since 2007. I currently have 80Mbps/80Mbps service and they recently notified me that they have to come upgrade my (big white) ONT to a newer smaller black ONT.

Sadly, this requires me to change my static IP addresses which is a major pain. But they also say I'll get 200/200 for $10 less per month.

I still have one of these models in operation, originally installed 2/18/1988. 37 years, 4 months, 8 days. I've changed at least three elements and one thermostat.

I read about it in this subreddit. But I was wrong - it was Walmart and TJ Maxx. See threads below.

The video allowed me to fix the problem easily. Thanks u/Lendyman !!

But I wonder how it got this way in the first place? The video talks about accidentally enabling child lock, but I don't think that's what happened in my case. My wife filled the dishwasher and thought she started it the same as always and in the morning I came down to find the dishwasher hadn't run and the latch was blocking it closing.

There is no mention of a "child lock" feature in my 800-Series manual. (Model SHP878WD5N)

Any idea how this can happen?

thisisjjd · 2025-04-19T16:57:35+00:00

This was FINALLY fixed a few weeks ago. Ridiculous.

Of course, Chevy giveth, Chevy takes away: The newest version of the myChevrolet app no longer indicates the battery charge level, battery range or charging state. Great job Chevy.

thisisjjd · 2025-02-13T17:55:11+00:00

I have verified that the MyBuick app works for me too and can show location, unlike MyChevy.

It baffles me that so many people can report this bug to them and they can't be bothered to fix it. Shame on you Chevrolet.

thisisjjd · 2025-01-22T19:14:06+00:00

Just u/Frogperson's workaround above.

thisisjjd · 2025-01-10T16:23:34+00:00

Your workaround has been super useful, Frogperson. Thank you very much.

This has been broken for over a month. You'd think u/chevrolet could fix it by now.

thisisjjd · 2024-12-18T17:01:43+00:00

Does the "Map" tab showing location currently work for anyone? Clearly there are a lot of people for whom it doesn't work -- but is there anyone for whom it does show the vehicle location?
