@aaronpk When you‘re away it displays that you‘re away? 😉

Yes then it says where I am and when I'm coming back!

Having one of those moments where I feel like I need to tear up my entire office and living room and reorganize things and get rid of clutter, but that is not a project I should start at 5pm on a Sunday

Update: I spent an hour cleaning and organizing, and ended up with two bags to take to goodwill. Not bad.

This app is single handedly why I think the @LumixUSA GH5 (and others) are the best studio cameras 👍

Confirmed, this is lifechanging! Thanks for the tip! Didn't even have to buy any new gear 🤣

How long does it take for ad networks to realize you don't live in your old country anymore omg

@LimeBike kept sending me emails in Czech for months after I rode a scooter in Prague once.

@aaronpk makes sense. I’ve got a larger residence, and I wanted in-wall switches so my wife & kids could keep using their muscle memory, which left us with zwave and weird stuff like Leviton as the options.

I'm glad that's working! I'm also testing this stuff out so that when I end up in a bigger place I know what to get, and I definitely want every light switch to be connected to the system!

@aaronpk gotcha! In my case I’ve been impressed with the performance of the ZWave devices but you’ve definitely tried more things than I have!

I'm also hesitant to go all z-wave because the devices tend to be a lot more expensive! If any of my other stuff starts failing in weird ways I'll give it a shot tho, maybe the cost is actually worth something.

@aaronpk does your Z-Wave software allow you to reorganize the network? I found that to be essential to fixing some connectivity issues I had. I’m using the Razberry / ZWay software. Post organization the mesh-ness was much more reliable for me.

There's a "heal network" button or something, but tbh I don't have enough z-wave devices to try it. Also my apartment is like 600 sq ft so pretty much everything is in direct line of sight to the receiver 😂

Looking for a simple hub for my new home office. I want USB-C to my computer and then 4x USB-C and USB-A ports on the hub. Nothing else (HDMI, Ethernet, microSD, etc.). I can’t find anything!

I've looked for that kind of thing too! I think USB-C is still too new and nobody is making hubs that provide additional USB-C outputs!

What drives me crazy about YouTube is after all this time I still don’t understand how it actually works.

I feel like a mouse in a test pushing the button hoping it’s a treat and not a shock.

And I’m not complaining about revenue that’s been having a field day.

YouTube 🤷‍♂️

I think even Google doesn't know how YouTube works

@aaronpk the ESPs are rock solid for me too. After a year I got a lot of problems with the 433 things and moved on to Zigbee devices which have been working for almost two years flawlessly.

Oh no really? What kind of problems did you have with the 443 things? Those have been the easiest to deal with so far.

@aaronpk i guess my indiweb/webmention capabilities are deteriorating. what went wrong? is my webmention-stuff to old? to spammy?

Hmm that's not good. I did notice there's probably a bug with how it reports the case where it can't find the link from your site. Will take a closer look shortly.

Adding a couple new sensors tonight. Attempting a sound level sensor (should report roughly how noisy it is inside), and a color temperature sensor, which I'm hoping can tell me how cloudy it is outside and how much sun is coming in the window.

Update:

Not getting anything off the sound sensor yet. Will have to debug with a multimeter next.

Light sensor is up and running with the default config, and will take a look at the results after 24 hours. There's a setting to control how long the "shutter" stays open, so we'll see if the default 2.4ms is good for detecting daylight.

@aaronpk I found this gentleman on YouTube and this video (skip to :58) helped me understand what was possible. I am not a Dev (only a cobbler growth marketer) and I also build chatbots for business, so the "flows" make sense.

Prepping for a new house so nothing "production" yet.

Thanks for the recommendation! That video did an excellent job of giving me an intro! This looks like exactly the kinds of chained rules I want to make, and was really struggling with doing it via just YAML in Home Assistant.

Awesome, I'm gonna watch that. I've also been struggling to debug automations written entirely in YAML, and I really want to get into some fancier automations based on states of various components.

I'm also prepping for a new house, but it's a long term plan, so I'm putting this "into production" in my apartment right now!

@aaronpk I just got my pi 4 and have been experimenting too. I have node-red, home assistant, Rocket.chat all running on it. Probably too much, but having fun

Nice! What are you doing with node-red? I haven't found a need for that yet, or at least I don't yet know what it can do that Home Assistant can't.
