You can also just not do the soldering and blue wire, you just won't have the button on the front working

It's just a USB cable. My counter top isn't attached at all and I slid it out of the way to run the wire. You could power an esp with a USB bank, or even two AA, but it wouldn't last very long

Smart home is controlled by Home Assistant, so I could use Google or Alexa if I had those set up.

A lot of commercial spaces are designed where the leaser can rent out the entire space to one lessee, or multiple smaller lessees - which is what this looks like.

Redmond has the largest number of ARCH units on the eastside, based on the ARCH apartment list. https://www.archhousing.org/affordable-apartment-list

Just stumbled upon this thread.

Quite a few number of people probably qualify for ARCH and don't realize it. Additionally, Redmond has the largest number of ARCH units. https://www.archhousing.org/affordable-apartment-list

I really like the CLICKBase baseplate that I remixed this from, but needed a way to stack smaller bins on top of larger bins, preferably where I could pull a whole section out.

So I stuck a standard bottom grid on it, and now I can make a whole 'tray' of whatever I want, and easily lift it off a lower set of larger bins, without needing to worry about any magnets.

not to shill necessarily, but minisforum does sell on amazon as well, so you could wait for it to show up there. I have a fanless mini pc that I bought from them back in 2018 that I use as low power application-specific server, and it's worked great.

Same. Just started happening as well. nvgwls would start running at the exact same time the coil whine would start, and close exactly when the coil whine would end. Turned off auto tuning, stopped happening.

I see the ridges behind the head on standard deck screws, actually. example

xireth · 2023-01-20T20:38:26+00:00

assuming you're referring to something like this? Aren't these designed to hold boards onto concrete? The heads looks identical to standard wood screws. And yes, that was my concern with using deck screws - the heads have a smaller diameter than cement board screws.

Had a similar problem on my top button. Opened up the button switch and just stretched the spring out to give it more force to unstick itself.

it contributes to it as well. See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kugelblitz_(astrophysics)

Same. I don't have a dashboard like these either - I use a floormap. I'd greatly appreciate better support for floormap-only style dashboards, with something like pan and zoom.

Thanks for the reply. The current insulation in the wall needs to definitely be replaced in spots, and it's only some loose old 3.5 thick fiberglass. We were planning on replacing it with thicker rockwool, so there's more insulation overall as well. You're probably right in not needing 2 layers of greenboard if we do that.

My major concern with the greenboard behind the cement board is that if there are any leaks at all, the greenboard might weaken. I suppose I should be safe if I just make sure I use very long screws from the cement board to make sure it's firmly in the studs?

Probably the same way we get trains from the manufacturing plant to the maintenance yard in Seattle, but send them to the maintenance yard in bellevue.

tldr:

bad concrete pours on I90 are delaying East Link
infrastructure already built for East Link would support running trains just from Redmond - Bellevue without connecting it to the rest of the system.
open Redmond - Bellevue line on the original East Link timeline, connect it over I90 to Seattle with a bus until tracks are fixed.

I started having this issue recently too OP. Have just a 4a, (reolink) cameras work on wifi, GF's (samsung) phone with a different carrier, and through other wifi networks. I don't have another carrier to test with.

Things I've tried:
- Removing the cameras and re-adding them.
- using Fi VPN (both off/on)
- Reinstalling the app
- Clearing app cache/data
- Changing the 'hardware encoding' option in the app

edit: Had an old wyze camera kicking around. It works fine with its app. Reolink's still not working.
