    Im guessing the latency here isnt zigbee, but the two cloud components that follow the button.

    Good for him but is he getting sober for himself or his girlfriend? There was certainly some conflicting information there. An ultimatum and sober for himeself?

  • Hyundai is offering free home chargers and install discounts for new EV buyers
  • StandingCat StandingCat 1y ago 100%

    I get that. But the implication is executives from hyundai all met because of that information from mozilla to determine how they can counter the privacy concerns. Then they came up with “give them an EV charger, that'll make them forget!”. Then no one mentions that the solution may only be seen by 5% of people buying a small segment of cars?

    Its a stretch. I'm pretty sure they are just trying to reduce friction of people buying EVs and this has nothing to do with the information about privacy.

    Now if they had some major incentives across all types of data stealing cars, that might be connected.

  • Bulk or affordable smart locks (multiple doors)
  • StandingCat StandingCat 1y ago 100%

    Yeah it works ok, my daughter uses it all the time. It sets up via Bluetooth for the fingerprint reader and is all local.

    I always use my code because I forget about it and ive been using the codes for so long.

    Im not sure what your point is here. Don't get an EV because they (and all other new cars) have privacy issues?

    I second this lock (and third by my brother’s experience).

    I had several zwave locks before giving up and getting these. These have been bulletproof compared to the other battery hungry ones. I was recommended these by my brother who also tried a few and never had luck. The fingerprint sensor is ok, but i didnt care about it just zwave.

    I do wish they were a bit more attractive though.

  • Wall control panels

    Yeah it is pricey, but if you have a bit of the gear, the addons arent that bad. But the initial cost is hard to swallow.

    Do you have any unifi kit? The connect displays are nice and can run the home assistant app.

  • If you would start again, how would you do it?
  • StandingCat StandingCat 1y ago 100%

    I recently “started over” but it was more of a rebuild in place. I did room by room. Areas were not a thing when i started so i added everything to a new area. Deleted any automations that targeted that area. Renamed all devices/entities in the area to a standard naming scheme. Then creating a dashboard for that area. Rebuilt the automations one at a time. Letting them bake before starting a new automation. And finishing all automations for that room before starting a new area.

    “Works exactly the same way it worked with AirPods before they added ultra wide band”

    So it works poorly. Im glad they added it, but it’s very unlikely to be helpful with just Bluetooth. I can never use it to find my AirPods.

    FWIW i use myQ locally with no issues. I use the myq “homekit bridge” to integrate with home assistant locally.

    I really enjoy having my lights color temperature change with the time of day. Makes working in the basement a tad more enjoyable.

  • Reddit repost bots are ruining Lemmy.
  • StandingCat StandingCat 1y ago 100%

    I have no idea, i imagine it would be like a multireddit. The initial creator curates it, but the mods of the communities admin. Copies can be made if you don't like the original collection, or its been abandoned?

    I would hope a collection would have a bit more deduping/crossposted logic?

    But i could see even having it so you can post to a collection- but before posting, it asks you which community fits best (ranks similar names by subscribers) this way you post to the most popular one. This should naturally make the user base gravitate to one or another.

    I think the better solution would be something like collections that dedup or crosspost them - both pics on lemmy.world and lemm.ee could exist in a collection. For that matter, it would solve the fractured communities as well as the “far too niche communities for such a small userbase” issue. Pics collection could include pics, photography, black&whitepics, etc.

    (I have no idea technically how this would work or even if it could)

Ive always liked sci fi, more of a (stargate fan) and wanted to get back into star trek, but Im just so lost on timelines and whats going on.
