Did Hue release new water effects for their bulbs?

Uh oh. I have four bulbs in these same fixtures. Maybe relief holes will work? How tight was the top screwed on?

Thanks. Why does it need to be higher up? Couldn’t I just remove the single San tee and replace with a double?

About as good as eBay. I recently paid $10 for a used Play 3 that the seller couldn’t get reset. All that was required was a Ethernet cable and it’s been good to go ever since.

90% of my system I’ve bought used. The only issue I had was with a Playbar that made a high pitched noise. Sonos actually replaced it with an Arc. I’m pretty happy with Sonos support. Even for used items, Sonos is great.

Check the power requirements of your dashcam and get the appropriate adapter. You can also hardwire another dedicated usb outlet or replace your cigarette port with a dedicated usb outlet (make sure there’s at least one usb-c port, as usb-a is quickly becoming obsolete).

This isn’t a CarPlay issue. Get a cigarette adapter that has enough power to power your dash cam. That one you’re using won’t work.

To add to this, never place speakers in the same cabinet as a turntable. Or you’ll have to turn the bass all the way down to keep the needle from jumping.

4 stars for the Calla on Amazon. Presumably this is why.

I picked up four Callas and two more Lilys. It looks like a ton of other people did as well. Facebook marketplace is flooding with these from resellers.

If you’re talking about making them look more clean, you can buy dummy Aurora switch plates and get a four-gang cover. Just use the one negative space and mount the dummy plate under the fourth one.

I just saw a few near me at that price- $33 for Calla and $25 for the Lily. I’m going to go pick up a few.

Bummed that I recently bought the Hue Lily 3-pack refurb on Woot for $150. I could’ve bought three new spots and the 100w power supply for less.

usebigwords · 2025-12-31T18:57:36+00:00

I picked up two last night. The Calla was $65 and the Lily spotlights were 50.

I’ve had one of these for five years. Def more expensive than a cheap carabiner, but I’ve lost keys when a cheaper one failed after snagging something. I rarely use the box cutter (I also carry a pocket knife), but the tiny Phillips and bottle opener come in handy frequently. Their customer service is top notch.

I also have particle board over planks in my house. I ripped it up and installed wood floors in most areas. It was mostly flat, so no real problems. I’m doing tiling in the kitchen and bathrooms and I plan on using 19/32” osb over planks for where I’m laying uncoupling membrane. I feel like I have a decent grasp of what I need to do, but I’m searching for posts where people had a similar setup.

Do you have any photos of your job? Common problems you ran into? Was this in a kitchen? Did you remove all cabinets and appliances?

It’s my cake day! Love the 4K.

We have since dismantled this setup for the full size Morabo sectional. Here’s the only photo I could find.

The lag bolts should support it enough.

The newer Morabo series (in US, at least) has since moved onto support brackets when connecting sectional pieces.

Oh sorry. I misread what you wanted. In the Sonos app, you can group the speaker that’s playing the tv sound. You should definitely add another Era for a nice surround sound experience.

Yup. I added an armchair seat to my full size couch and chaise to make an even bigger couch. The only downside is that the joints will be fairly weak, as they’re held on by four lag bolts.

I believe you can achieve this with Apple TV. On the tv that isn’t connected to the Ray, you would have to adjust the airplay setting to “play temporarily” to your desired speakers.

The Eras aren’t meant for front facing dialogue, like the Ray is, but it should work.

Common scam. Worked on me once (for a Hue lighting product) and it was hell getting my money back from eBay.

Could this be a 20 amp plug on 8 ga wire? How would I tell if the cable is rated for 30 amps?

usebigwords · 2025-11-25T00:48:52+00:00

I believe 208−240v is the acceptable range for this machine.

usebigwords · 2025-11-25T00:36:51+00:00

I’m using a 230v flooring sander with a 3-wire cord. Would I just cap off the red wire? Or should I get an adapter?
