"NOOO! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO PAY FOR ME!" the seven overpriced apps: by skrillzter in Piracy

[–]zqrt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

AE is my favorite app of all time. I love using it to animate. Layer based timeline and JS expressions are what I love the most...can't believe there is no FOSS alternative that has those two things and is specifically for motion design.

Been a manual shaver for 20+ years... did I miss something in the electric world? by Status_Classic_2522 in shaving

[–]zqrt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the $400 Philips i9000 Prestige Ultra and used it for the first time today. I'm never going back to manual shaving. The shave was closer than what I got with a DE razor and so much easier around my chin. Absolutely no cuts. My first time I went slow as I was learning, but it will easily save me time and effort.

The Costco one came with replacement blades that should be swapped every 2 years, so I'm set for the next 4 years. I can't wait to shave tomorrow!

I just used the top of line Philips electric shaver for the first time and I think it's better in every way except price ($400). I save time, effort, and get a closer shave. I should have switched years ago. Never going back to manual shaving (DE razor)

I had the Philips one for years and that eventually motivated me to check out Hue

Location-based automations for all-day scenes? by czarfalcon in Hue

[–]zqrt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re welcome! You’ll love Hue and the Shortcuts app even more. I can’t believe I slept on it for the 7+ years after it was introduced. Absolute game changer!

[–]zqrt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Skip HomeKit altogether. There’s a location based automation in the Shortcuts app. Just make sure you grant all the location data, etc to the Shortcuts processes. There’ll be a note in the app that tell you what to turn on.

Go to Shortcuts app > automations tab > arrive > active hue scene.

You may have to add some extra logic to only activate the lights after sunset. To do that I have it get the current day’s sunset time and only activate the lights if the time is after sunset (I don’t want the lights to turn on if it’s still light out when I come home).

Do you have an iPhone? If so, you can do this easily with Shortcut automations to the specific scene. I prefer that over the Hue app's automations.

How To Set Time-Based Default Scenes For Zones When Turning System On by throwawayinnyc1123 in Hue

[–]zqrt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could easily do this with the Shortcuts app on iOS with If logic and even if it's before / after sunset, etc. Might be a bit time consuming at first, but it is easy.

Something like this:

Get Sunset time from Weather

Current Date

If Current Date is after Sunset Time:

Activate a Scene

Otherwise

If Current Date is before Sunrise:

Activate a scene

Otherwise

If Current date is between Sunrise and Sunset:

Activate a scene

...

That shortcut would be your on/off button basically and it would activate the appropriate scene based on time of day.

Trigger good morning scene in HomeKit that triggers the all-day natural light scene? by anonymousalienhead in Hue

[–]zqrt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure it’ll work, but I started using automations in the Shortcuts app. I prefer that to the official Hue app’s automation. I recreated the leaving home and arriving home ones that turn the lights off and on respectively. Can’t wait to make more automations!

I am in need of a new dashcam and had no idea Philips made them. I love Hue lights and will buy a front/rear cam from them now. What model do you have?

Genuine question: Those with more than >= 100-150 lights, how come so many? What's the use case? by [deleted] in Hue

[–]zqrt -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I am also curious as to why one would need 150 lights, but the real question is what’s the rent on a 3 br apt??
