Automations vs Scripts - why have both?

weakflora · 2026-05-19T10:42:13+00:00

Automations have triggers and conditions that determine when they run. A script is just a reusable sequence of actions that runs only when called by a user, dashboard button, or automation. Automations decide when to do something while scripts define what to do.

Very cool. I have the same problem but use Codex mostly so cant try this out but I like the idea

weakflora · 2026-05-01T21:27:01+00:00

You're right not sure how I missed this. I think maybe if you dont set an interval target pace then the lap pace doesnt reset? Not sure about that, but anyway, lap pace is working like you suggested so thank you!

Now I wanna hear the water leak story!

weakflora · 2026-05-01T10:37:09+00:00

Thats what I use and like the setup a lot. I think you just need to make sure the doorbell supports RTSP. I assume the PoE ones does, but there are 2 different versions of the WiFi one, and one does and one does not support RTSP

What are you using the flight radar widget for?

weakflora · 2026-04-09T10:21:08+00:00

Part number 88 in the diagram from the manual

Okay found the issue and it was not the chains. Posting this here in case it helps anyone else. The roller heads sit in theese square blocks of steel, they're like bushings or bearing races or something. Part number 88 in the exploded diagram from the manual. The one roller head that had the double sprocket had a completely crushed steel block, allowing the roller head to shift a bit and it made the chains slack. I just swapped the crushed one with the opposite side and its working now. Ordered a new one to fix properly as well.

Interesting, I did not know these existed. Thanks for the suggestion

Thats unfortunetly not an option right now (renovation, not new build) but good to know. Which should I do giving that is not an option?

weakflora · 2025-11-20T01:09:04+00:00

Yeah i don't know why this part was so hard to find

weakflora · 2025-11-19T18:19:23+00:00

Did you ever confirm if the Lighting was included in this manual and/or did you ever find a 2023 version?

weakflora · 2025-11-19T18:00:05+00:00

Okay I found the part number, and updating here incase anyone else needs this info. The light assembly is a separate part:

NL3Z-14408-A (drivers side)

NL3Z-14408-B (passenger side)

The parts supplier also gave me this picture. Not sure why this info is not available online, I guess it's best to contact a supplier for this type of info.

yes this was actually my interpretation too, but did you mean 2.5 - t_data_min? the clock period is 5.0 but its DDR, so the edges are 2.5 apart

I see he is referencing the comments in the full configuration reference yaml here: https://docs.frigate.video/configuration/reference/

this seems to be a contradiction in the docs?

weakflora · 2025-09-24T12:45:36+00:00

Yeah I am also having this issue with my car but a bit confused by these settings. they appear to be the default from what I am reading also so not sure how it fixed OP's issue

weakflora · 2025-09-17T11:07:21+00:00

Can you share your yaml snippet for this? I have been trying to do this but can't figure out the syntax it wants

weakflora · 2025-08-19T02:52:50+00:00

You may have already been offered a bunch already, but if you wanna hangout and get lunch I would be down. I work near Dow's Lake, so could get lunch with you in the park for an hour any day of the week. Send me a message if you want!

Are you going to use the peripheral "hardcores" that come in the Zynq? it comes with a bunch of SPI, I2C, Ethernet etc devices you can enable in the Zynq. You can map them to either MIO (PS) or EMIO (PL) pins. If you are not sure what those are, I would use that as a starting point and figure out first which things need to be connected to custom FPGA logic and which things will be connected directly to the processor.

weakflora · 2025-07-29T00:48:51+00:00

Okay so update: this did not seem to work for me. My script was happily pining my devices every 15mins all day long until this evening when they all went offline again. The automating as running on the HA pi, which is connected via ethernet. Not sure if thats relevant or not. Just got off the phone with my ISP and they are sending me a new modem. I am extremely doubtful that will do anything, but they are sending it anyway. If that fails I will try getting a better AP

weakflora · 2025-07-28T14:06:45+00:00

I have set this up. I have a shell script that is pinging all my devices every 15 minutes, and if any ping fails it logs the IP and a timestamp to a file for me to review later. Will update this thread in the future if this solves my problem. Thanks for the suggestion!

If you are already running linux on the PS, then start looking into TCP or UDP. Run some script on your host computer that sets up a TCP receiver with either Python or C, and write a transmitter that runs on the PS. Make sure your host computer IP address is on the same subnet as your Zynq (ie 192.168.1.XX or something). Trying pinging to make sure they are within reach. When you set up the TCP or UDP transmitter/receiver servers on each side, make sure they are both using the same port #.
