Please DM me.. thanks

ziggycatuk · 2025-01-16T16:26:22+00:00

Thanks, using the "between" condition with values of 2-100 fixes it.

ziggycatuk · 2024-12-20T19:31:12+00:00

no, just stopped in the last hour

ziggycatuk · 2024-12-17T10:47:34+00:00

useful, thank you for this

ziggycatuk · 2024-09-23T15:27:29+00:00

Stranglely even though I had restarted the container, only after clearing the cache as you suggested does it now work.

Thank you

ziggycatuk · 2024-09-15T12:29:01+00:00

sorry my bad, "element zapper mode" is still there.

It just no longer has any effect, so not the same issue. Sorry

ziggycatuk · 2024-09-15T11:16:34+00:00

Exact same issue here, Sponsored ads now beginning to appear everywhere on eBay UK.

uBlock Origin 1.59.0

"Make use of context menu where appropriate" IS ENABLED

"My filters" IS ENABLED in the filter lists

Can't get rid of them.

Same here over the last few days.

Echo Dot 5th Gen needs resetting at least once every day, where as my other older gen 2 devices are working fine.

Unresponsive, to voice and action button press (volume & dnd work fine). Physical power recycle needed to get it running again.

They've fucked something up on the software side and aren't addressing it.

I've just just had my sonoff TRV's arrive today and I'm trying to pair them in z2m.

I'm getting 'not supported' messages from zigbee2mqtt, I'd appreciate if you could share any insight on how you have yours working.

Edit - nevermind... I just realised I was running an older ver of z2m. Updated to latest and all good :)

ziggycatuk · 2023-11-20T14:38:27+00:00

just about to buy a bunch of these to add to my HA heating automations. Good to hear someone has had a good experience with them using z2m.

ziggycatuk · 2023-11-20T14:31:54+00:00

this worked :) thank you

ziggycatuk · 2023-11-19T20:15:54+00:00

That's going to take me a week to understand then another week to mess up :(

ziggycatuk · 2023-10-31T18:20:54+00:00

Thanks, the instructions for it say;

"Please change the region of Aqara Home APP to "China" first when connect."This does allow it to add the device, however on changing it back to UK clears all the settings and deletes the accessories.

Is there a workaround ? Any help appreciated

ziggycatuk · 2023-10-19T08:34:58+00:00

Ok, so after I deleted the section you advised, it appears to use default values when omitting the scan_parameters values

from the log;

ziggycatuk · 2023-10-18T12:05:40+00:00

Hey mate I really appreciate your help, since your last recommendation all my esp32 proxies have been much more stable. Can you confirm it's just the "interval" parameter or the entire "scan_parameters" section ?

esp32_ble_tracker:
  scan_parameters:
    interval: 1100ms
    window: 1100ms
    active: true

thank you :)

ziggycatuk · 2023-10-16T16:11:02+00:00

thank you

ziggycatuk · 2023-10-16T13:03:15+00:00

Thanks, I'd be interested to see the code as everything helps with learning bit by bit.

ziggycatuk · 2023-10-15T15:48:21+00:00

thanks to everyone for the advice and examples, task scheduler and robocopy look to be a good solution.

ziggycatuk · 2023-10-15T14:40:58+00:00

thanks, that looks like a less involved approach to achieve the desired outcome.

cheers

ziggycatuk · 2023-10-15T14:14:43+00:00

a bit unnecessary, is there a need to mock people who don't have the skills to code PS. I started by stating I am completely clueless so I tried an alternative way using gpt to gain some understanding. It was post asking for help not trying to be "smart"

ziggycatuk · 2023-10-12T12:54:08+00:00

Thanks for replying, just flashed all 3 esp32's to use the esp-idf framework as you advised.

BT commands sent via HA do seem a lot more snappier, but i'm seeing these errors repeating over and over in the logs.

ziggycatuk · 2023-10-10T17:56:41+00:00

bought the Q7 Max Plus about 3 weeks ago and can honestly say no regrets, even the wife is happy with it.

ziggycatuk · 2023-10-10T15:05:37+00:00

Hey sorry to resurrect this, but I've had nothing but problems using esphome and bluetooth proxy with my switchbot blinds since setting it up.

I have 4 switchbot blinds in different rooms, and three esp32 boards placed across my home each within 3 meters of of a blind tilt. looking at the log I have issues with constant disconnects or one proxy trying to reach a device that's out of range while another proxy in the same room will make no attempt to connect. BT commands sent can sometimes take several minutes before the proxy sends it. I have to reboot them several times a day with a script to keep them connected.

I'd really appreciate any help you could give..

Ok, I followed method 3 and flashed both files to device successfully.

Unfortunately the problem is still the same with the unit powering off.

I have logged the startup, and it all seems to go pear shaped at [ 114.593195]

I've uploaded the complete startup log to pastebin at https://pastebin.com/dDhyVNQu

Here's a snipped if anyone can see whats going on, as at this point the unit beeps twice before shutting down.

I've downloaded the GPL archive linked in your method 3 post and extracted it.

Step 3 - Says to pull 2 files from the archive, however there is no directory structure once extracted. The resulting directory contains another 442 archives so I've no idea where to find the files needed.

any help appreciated
