I’m really interested to see what this device database will actually look like, aside from a “please share your automations and the device integrations they rely on.” There’s a lot of information to sift through, there!
I loved the changes made from their previous big roadmap (the new dashboard is so much better), but this seems a lot more ambitious, so I’m cautiously optimistic.
I did learn this one the hard way. This is excellent advice.
I have Type 1 Diabetes, and I’m always looking for fun/interesting ways to help me manage it, including some Home Assistant tools, like the Nightscout integration.
If your son is using an insulin pump, why are you taking a vial of insulin with you day-to-day? Even small pumps like the omnipod hold much more than one day’s worth.
When I do need to bring vials of insulin with me (if I’m camping in the summer for more than a few days, for instance), I just use a Frio pouch. They’re little evaporative coolers that keep the insulin cold enough. I’m sorry for ignoring your question, but it sounds like you could be making things more difficult for yourself than you have to.
Checks are still used all the time, though, so I’m sure someone has said this recently.
I share your anger about LaRose’s blatant attempts to sabotage Issue 1, but that didn’t stop me from voting early and in-person. The line looked long, but moved quickly and I was on my way home in 30 or 40 minutes.
We only lose if we don’t vote! If you can vote early, I would encourage you to do so!
I forgot this was happening today until I saw a line going out the door at a medical marijuana shop. It certainly made my bike to work smell more interesting, but I’m glad my fellow Ohioans can now imbibe in relative peace.
Wow, Brownie looks so much like my cat I checked the username to make sure my wife hadn’t posted this photo! Very pretty :)
I know this is a joke, but it did make me start thinking about it.
I’d probably buy a car that Surly made. It’d be very outdated and simple, but also unkillable and practical, kinda like the original Toyota pickup truck.
I wouldn’t buy a Trek car purely because you know they’d make the front grill enormous specifically so they can make the trek logo bigger.
My reason for preferring Zigbee over wifi was pretty simple: I don’t trust IoT manufacturers, so I want as few smart home devices connected to the Internet as possible. With Zigbee not providing Internet connectivity, that’s one less thing for me to worry about.
Additionally, lots of Zigbee devices act as repeaters, so it’s unlikely you’d need multiple Zigbee hubs. My only Zigbee hub is in the basement, and I can control my Hue lights in the attic no problem, thanks to the devices in-between rebroadcasting and commands they see.
A guy made an intractables guide (and an accompanying youtube video) that would be an excellent starting point for you: https://www.instructables.com/Recycle-Cardboard-Into-Anything-With-3D-Printing/
It’s a bit involved and messy (and will ruin your blender if you do this a lot), but you can get totally usable parts from this method!
