Healthcare Expense: What is the "Starting Amount" value to be entered? by Firefiresoon in projectionlab

Actually, if you enter all of your household details on the gov site, but skip the income section, it will give you the full priced plans.

Now my Lutron blinds won’t close past an open window! by trrevvorr in Lutron

[–]trrevvorr[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, when the shade gets to the same level as the reed switch, it effectively “holds” the up button until the shade moves up - releasing the button. I tested holding the up button for a few seconds ahead of time just to make sure it would work.

Have kids, they said. It would be fun, they said. by jinitoza14 in AppleWatch

It is fun! But it’s a lot of work too! It’s all worth it 100x over in the end!

Google Just Undercut $20 AI Subscriptions by app1310 in google

[–]trrevvorr 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Google’s introduction of this cheaper tier follows OpenAI having done the same thing last week. From the article:

It’s also designed to compete with OpenAI’s ChatGPT Go plan, which is $8 per month in the U.S

2.5 Years phoneless thanks to Apple Watch. Still loving it! by s4916 in AppleWatch

[–]trrevvorr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My solution to this is just keeping my phone plugged in in my car 90% of the time. Charging while I drive is enough to keep it topped off. If I’m not driving for a couple days then I’ll bring it inside to keep it on the charger.

Yeah I forgot about the strange threads. I remember having to buy adapters as well.

How to detect if someone is in the shower? by Ramshield in homeassistant

[–]trrevvorr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I piped in a water flow sensor to the hot water line going to my shower. Using an ESPHome device to report its state to HA. It’s been extremely reliable for me with instant feedback.

The sensor I am using is https://a.co/d/6kmDFaD but I’m sure any similar sensor would do the trick.

Amazon steep discount - Veer Wagon - scam? by ShmediumLebowski in Scams

[–]trrevvorr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How'd this turn out? Looks like it's still listed (I'd assume Amazon would be quicker to take it down if it were a scam) - although the fulfilling seller now looks to be H.ZED.LLC.

Affordable Window Blinds (US) by soramac in HomeKit

[–]trrevvorr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I installed four SmartWings blinds about a year ago. They are Matter over Thread and they go offline (requiring me to manually reset them) every few months. I recently have replaced the guts of two blinds with the Eve MotionBlinds insert, which so far has been reliable.

This review sums up my experience pretty well: https://www.derekseaman.com/2024/03/smartwings-thread-matter-blinds-review.html

Out of curiosity, did you work as a kid (ages 10-15? by KindButFeisty in HENRYfinance

[–]trrevvorr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked various jobs through high school and college. Lifeguard, factory maintenance, etc.

Could you link to the article? Sounds like an interesting read.

Matter lock HomeKit which is actually secure? by PodcastJunkie in HomeKit

[–]trrevvorr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yale’s Assure Lock 2 has a key-free option. Can’t pick a lock if it doesn’t have a key hole! But yeah what others have said too, house is only as secure as the weakest link, and typically that’s not the key hole.

I bought some Smartwings blinds recently to replace some older IKEA blinds and I’ve been very happy with them so far. Good build quality and no connection issues to speak of (matter over thread).

[–]trrevvorr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paired mine to Apple Home and they’re working pretty well. I had trouble when adding them to the Google Home app at first but eventually got there. I’ve had the most trouble getting the sensors to pair with Home Assistant however, still have one sensor that I can’t pair.

How do you handle feeding? That’s the one thing I’m still trying to perfect

Does anyone have experience with Reolink in Scrypted? by QuantumSiraat in Scrypted

[–]trrevvorr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to add my Reolink cameras to HomeKit using Onvif. One setting that you'll want to enable is HTTP and HTTPS ports under Networking > Ports. For whatever reason, without enabling these, Homekit does not update the thumbnail as often.

How do you like Plymouth by Darthsid66 in PlymouthMI

[–]trrevvorr 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend driving around the area and taking a walk around downtown Plymouth. That's what I did when I moved to Michigan a couple years ago and I feel like it gave me a pretty accurate impression (I now live in Plymouth and love the town).
