What are your Homelab goals for 2025? in c/selfhosted
[–] acceptable_pumpkin 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I had a blast learning and configuring vlans for my smart switch and putting all the IOT devices on their own network.

A New Plex Experience is Coming in c/[email protected]
[–] acceptable_pumpkin 26 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Why does everything need to be a social app? I don’t care what my friends/family on my Plex watch. I don’t want it to do anything other than allow me to play my own media.

Home-Assistant Compatible Hub Needed in c/homeassistant
[–] acceptable_pumpkin 1 points 3 months ago

I used to use SmartThings up until the announcement killing off WebCORE. I well fully into Home Assistant using Zigbee and ZWave both. HIGHLY recommend it, though there is work to set it up.

I use quite a bit of NodeRed as well for some of my more complex automations, and use the native HA automations for things like button mappings or simple scripts.

Node Red changes? Entity name in Data field? (self.homeassistant)
 

Did something change recently with Home Assistant and Node Red? I upgraded and suddenly 20+ issues with messages like “Entity ID ‘switch.main_lights’ should be in the data.property, not the target property”

Opinions on Stephen King in c/books
[–] acceptable_pumpkin 2 points 3 months ago

Lots of his stories feel like he got bored, and just wrapped it all up without much actual closure. Feels very rushed. Under the Dome was a clear example of this for me.

Swipe Gesture to Collapse Comment Chain? (self.thunder_app)
 

Any chance we can have an option in the various swipe gestures to collapse a comment chain up to the parent? I loved this feature in Apollo. Right now, tapping a comment collapses just that comment, but not sure how to collapse up.

HACS in c/homeassistant
[–] acceptable_pumpkin 1 points 4 months ago

Are you looking for integrations or front-end/GUI recommendations? HACS is great for both!

Sonos CEO apologizes for disastrous rollout of new app in c/technology
[–] acceptable_pumpkin 19 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It’s easier for me to control my Sonos devices through Home Assistant and dashboards I’ve created, rather than using the Sonos app itself. It’s like they hired some McKinsey consultants to make the app as useless as it can be.

Sonos CEO apologizes for its new app, details timeline for fixing it - 9to5Mac in c/sonos
[–] acceptable_pumpkin 1 points 5 months ago

I’m more annoyed that the app is just so much worse now. Lags during updates so much so that it’s faster for me to use the Home Assistant integrations and dashboards to manage my Sonos devices rather than the app itself!

Smart locks and remote Z-wave in c/homeassistant
[–] acceptable_pumpkin 3 points 5 months ago

I think as long as the model you are looking for supports Z-Wave, you’re good.

Smart locks and remote Z-wave in c/homeassistant
[–] acceptable_pumpkin 4 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I have Schlage locks integrated via Z-Wave. All local, can poll for battery levels, supports physical key unlocks ( and can differentiate logging events between key, code, and HA service unlocks)

I’m happy with the capabilities.

Companion app: force sensors update with intent in c/homeassistant
[–] acceptable_pumpkin 1 points 5 months ago

On iOS you may need to allow HA to constantly track your location. I’ve done a decent amount of testing with zones and it seems to work well. I used some temp Node Red logic to send a push notification as I entered/left zones and it was pretty accurate.

Looking for a cheap dopamine hit ;) in c/homeassistant
[–] acceptable_pumpkin 1 points 5 months ago

3D printing is half the fun! Although I have no skills in design so I usually look for STLs that other have created. The NFC tag reader was such a fun project because I got to: 3D print the enclosure, solder the wiring for the ESP and NFC hardware, write the login within Node Red to work as a juke box, and then I wrote an excel file that I use to track my playlists (allows me to copy/paste the Spotify share link and have it translate it into an NFC tag payload).

Do you use Plex at all? One fun integration is to turn the lights off automatically when something starts to play, then turn them back on when paused/stopped. It’s fun to see the lights auto-dim as media starts to play.

Login seems broken? (self.thunder_app)
 

For some reason, my app can’t seem to handle logins correctly. I am able to log in ok, but the account management page never shows the login, which means I can see my inbox, etc.

I haven’t tried completely deleting and reinstalling yet, but I have tried to log in several times with no change in app behavior.

Hide Read? (self.memmy)

Is there an easy way to hide read posts? Ideally something like the feature in Thunder that lets you auto filter out any of the read posts.

Edit: on a related note, I’d love to see a swipe gesture option of “Mark as Read”.

How’re you all liking the game so far? (self.citiesskylines)
 

Performance could certainly be better, but it’s good to be playing this game! Can’t wait to see the performance improvements and mod support coming soon. I will say it is amusing to see the meltdown of so many people reviewing it on Steam.

I’m just hoping to get more traffic! My city isn’t too big yet, but I’m looking forward to the puzzle of improving efficiency, especially since I’m nowhere near a pro in street designs.

Block Entire Instance? (self.thunder_app)
 

Perhaps I’m missing the option, but is there a way to block/filter entire instances? Thanks.

Humble Bundle - Build Today Plan For Tomorrow (www.humblebundle.com)

New Humble Bundle looks great for anyone still looking to pick up some DLCs. At quick glance, any of the major DLCs missing? I'm not up to speed on them all, but it does look like some aren't in the pack.

Edit: Looks like several DLCs are missing including Sunset Harbot, Park Life, and some others.

Search within a community? (self.memmy)
 

Is there an easy way to search within a community from the community itself? (Similar to how Apollo had a search box at the top of the community post list)

I couldn’t see it unless I completely overlooked something.

Can’t mark replies as read? (self.memmy)
 

For some reason my inbox items keep showing replies to my earlier posts as unread even though I’ve read them (and even clicked on them to go back to the actual comments). As a result, I have the little red dot on the Inbox icon. Am I doing something wrong?

[Feature Request] Option to parse links to other Lemmy instances/pages in-app (self.voyagerapp)
 

Ideally allowing the opening of links to other Lemmy instances or communities in the app itself versus opening it as a standard web page. Perhaps by recognizing the FQDN being linked or the URL format? I assume this is how the Lemmy linking bot works. Apologies if I missed this idea in another post.
