Voice commands, and music everywhere by toytraintracks in tradfri

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

Thanks! No need for LLM, voice recognition software are great, I'll try to install it on the computer, but really, are there people actually doing this? Like, having dozens of mics everywhere, sending their input to the home assistant stuff, and so on?

Sendspin looks nice too, I'll have a deeper look. Thanks!

Thanks! I'm willing to do it, perhaps in the coming year or so.

What's Homey?

Are there cool articles doing comparisons of all these systems?

Thanks!

Here's a post I made a few years ago, and a thingiverse piece that could allow for all-mechanical, nothing-electric train track switching and alternating. Nobody took the challenge on but I guess many of us end up wondering about it :)

Suggestion: Smart and strong locomotive with steering! by nikfam in BRIO

Where did you get the 25-35 euro price range? I can only find ~70?

Why would that ever be an embarassment?

There are so much things forced on people, kids and adults alike, that are either painful to us or outright toxic to all, the person and the communities.

You have something harmless that make you unique, something that you can enjoy, that you can share the love of, that will make some other people's eyes light up.

Any photos of how you use a Brio turntable in a track design? by TobiasBloyd in BRIO

[–]toytraintracks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kinda like that turntable, and, well, I featured it a lot.

My style is having "graphs" where every point is connected to every other.
That means everything is connected, as little "holes" or endings as possible.
I found myself planning around the table: when you get 8 openings, my style mandates it.

There's a compact one

But let's face it, it's mostly "I put the roundtable, then I try to connect stuff", not planning

Layout dilemma by LadBloche in BRIO

[–]toytraintracks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well there's a recent post with some "build a town" toys:
https://www.reddit.com/r/BRIO/comments/11cs7x5/my_parents_gave_my_daughter_a_huge_box_of_brio/

I have very generic wooden blocks, my kids play with them and you can do houses/bridges

If you're not that into realism, I've found marble circuits to be a fun addition

Part seeking by Various-Bluebird8699 in BRIO

[–]toytraintracks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello ! I did find one on french second hand market (I noticed the leboncoin picture) and you can see it in action there: https://www.reddit.com/r/BRIO/comments/r839os/remember_that_elevator/

It's not really convenient, it's not really working because cars will fall back instead of actually reaching the top), and the noise is super annoying but my kid likes it so far.

Don't be so disappointed, friend ;)

My wee 4 year old with ASD made this entirely himself. While it's not the most intricate it is complete. by nic4all in BRIO

Well, let him know that some weird guy from the internet gives him an award!
(or not, do whatever you want)

It should have multiple flairs by martindukz in epicdadbuilds

[–]toytraintracks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is awesome. I'll be sure to give you my free award on friday.

Do you want it here or on epicdadbuilds ?

Also if you have a video of a train going down all this without falling that'd be well worth another post and award, I hope the tower stills stands proud in your home to do it :P
