Here to vouch for aqara sensors. My motion sensors work a treat. Just wish I got the FP1, Since I find them TOO sensitive

minir4 - I'm impressed (self.homeassistant)
 

I bought several Sonoff mini4r to add some automation to my lights, and wanted to post a short review:

Pros:

  • price is excellent. Got 5 for <$50 cad.
  • Size is amazing, itsy Bitsy.
  • Build quality feels good.
  • Should be easy to flash, if my soldering skills were better, with exposed pads.
  • Connected to my home wifi quick and easy.
  • SonoffLAN easily picked them up, with full control.
  • Detached relay mode works great, with switch fallback if wifi goes down.
  • quick response time, under a second.

Cons:

  • only rated for 10-12 amps, means I can't install this on switch controlled outlets.
  • wish it had headers for flashing.
  • wifi only, wish there was a ZigBee model.

In the end, I'm likely to buy more, and some Shelly units for where I need 16-20 amp relays.

Nah, I preferred USB 4 gen 3.7, 3x3, so clear and concise....

also: "password is too long, max password length is 12 digits"

Why... like, sure, cap it at 256 or something reasonable. but ive run into as low as 9 digits.

Unlike other platforms, we store your files for as long as you need them, so it is crucial that we manage our storage sustainably

I mean, its great that they offer that, but all my files dont need to be permemnant. I would love the ability to review and delete old files

I'm not sure if you are saying what i said (that someone in charge sending his minions to harass someone is closer to authoritarianism), or him is a misunderstanding of communism.

I definitely should have used the word "communism" in my sentence, but since he used socialism, I didn't want to change the subject from socialism to communism.

Being from Canada, and a huge proponent of social services and crown corporations, I'm definitely a socialist myself.

facebook keeps pushing 'vegans are evil' and 'lets make milk mean raw milk again' posts on me.

Just... stop. let me enjoy my friends and groups

yep, good thing the gun was there to keep her safe, i bet her son really appreciates that.

God these news articles, and the insanity in the USA, makes me angry.

In a woodworking group im part of, people show off their home made, wood gun racks, which are scary enough, but once in a while someone posts a picture of a full gun room, with hundereds of long arms on the walls. Often people say "i bet this guy is scared of nothin"

This guy is fucking terrified. I always compare it to a fire extinguisher: You go to a friends house, and they have a fire extinguisher in the kitchen, they are sane.

You go to a friends house, they have 6 fire extinguishers in every room, including the bathroom: they are terrified.

this is so infuriating

I have a Hatch, which i have programed for my babies bed time, just play white noise sound at this time, turn off this sound in the morning, play bird song when hes supposed to wake up

I specifically got the older model, since the newer model has a lot of these basic features locked behind a paywall, while the old one they are just free.

Went traveling, and without a wifi connection it wont even do this. Apparently making an alarm clock remember its settings without a wifi connection is too much work.

 
 

I have to admit, i immediately set my ringtone to this.

 
 

Cant wait. S9 was one of my favorites, and I've definitely missed the hermits the last month!

 
 

People honestly beleive there was a massive empire until recently which covered most the globe, but was destroyed by a worldwide mud flood.

Somehow, spires on buildings made limitless power

 

Nice to see a new Zedaph video. Hes become one of my favorites in S9

 

Sorry guys, left work for a bit for a parental leave, and focused on my personal life.

Back at work, so more time browsing the web!

 

Whose planning on upgrading from the Q2 to a Q3?

It seems like a lot of incremental upgrades, but it's a LOT of incremental upgrades.

Cost is definitely a lot higher than I like, close to 2x what I paid for my Q2
