Lemmee OP ,

Okay, I was looking through the schedule's logs, and it looked like every day had the schedule triggered when it was supposed to. So I went to my thermostat and changed it to 'non programmable' so there is no day/night cycle on the thermostat itself. I will see if this fixes the missed days.

I am curious though, because I had always been under the assumption that using the scheduler is better than simple time triggered automations because if the system or entity is unavailable at the exact moment the automation triggers, you could miss it. This could lead to irrigation pumps being left on for hours instead of minutes, and furnaces running the wrong temp all day/night, etc. It appears to me that the scheduler integration is simply running an automation at every breakpoint in the defined schedule.

Best way to trigger automation with my return home?

I have a few old automations that are designed to unlock my front door, or open my garage door, depending on how I leave. If I ride my bike or car, it opens my garage, if I leave via front door, it opens the front door. Pretty simple. Except!!! I did this in pieces, so it's 2 separate automations. One detects my phone ...

Lemmee OP ,

Ooh. That’s a great point.

I just did some digging and it seems something is wrong with my phone or person detection because it don’t notice that I left for the gym this morning.

I guess that needs troubleshooting as well. Maybe having multiple triggers increases the robustness of the automation?

Lemmee OP ,

That's pretty much what I do now. But I don't care if I leave via bike or car, just depends if I leave through the garage door, or the front door. So I have a helper that gets toggled if the garage door closes and I leave the house zone within 10 mins. Then when I return, I want to just use one trigger, and have an if/else that looks at the state of the helper toggle. I really have been operating with the "if it aint broke, don't fix it" mentality. But when things break, I like to take a look at the whole landscape, and see if I can make some larger improvements when I fix it. That's what prompted this -- I got home and my garage door didn't open.

Lemmee OP ,

I do like the idea of different triggers for different zones. Especially zones for commonly visited locations (work, gym, grocery, etc). I really don't have many automations that trigger by my presence/absence, as all my lights are pretty much automatic. I like the house to look like I'm home, even if I'm not.

This has brought up another issue I have been battling - my 'home' zone refuses to be resized... I shrink it down, and literally the next time I leave, it triggers at the same damn spot, and when I open my config, it shows the same size circle. I think I just need to do some cleanup and updates to my system. It's been a while.

Lemmee OP ,

I'm on iOS, and I've got 'always on' enabled for location services. It has worked pretty much flawlessly until this weekend, so I'm guessing something got borked, and I need to do some updating in some places.

Lemmee OP ,

I had this same setup with my Eero router integration, but I found that if my laptop or desktop was accidentally left on, and the sleep timer was inactivated, HA would think I was home. So I'm just using GPS of my phone to do my person stuff now.

Lemmee OP ,

I agree with this, but I also have an automation that alerts me when the door opens, and when it's been open longer than 5 mins. I also have a condition on my garage door openings that stop them without confirmation if it's after sunset.

What’s your preferred way to turn KDE into a tiling WM? I tried something in the past, but every time I tried to resize a window smaller than 25% of the screen, it would pop it out into floating mode.

I am still using sway because I need to know that there are no hiding windows anywhere. That shit drives me berserk.

Lemmee ,

Cool. I’ll give it a go. I do often manually resize windows though, so maybe that’s where I went wrong. Thanks for the tip

Lemmee ,

looks like it might be another trip down KDE tinkering lane for me! Thanks for all the tips.

Lemmee ,

Unfortunately I knew it was over after we went 3-and-out back to back drives to open the 3rd. This packers team didn’t stand a chance in the playoffs, but it would have been great to knock the bears out!

Lemmee ,

Paywall blocked me from reading, but did it mention if the degradation is constant? I often reuse the same plastic bottle for a long period of time (traveling, and whatnot).

Lemmee ,

This happens every now and then for me. I just delete the add on, and reconfigure it.

Also, make sure you’re selecting torrentio RD from the drop down on the top right. I think it defaults to “all sources” and the torrentio without RD leaves tons of stream sources that don’t ever load.

Lemmee ,

How did you make the frame lock? I see the cutout, but did you heat that tab and bend it inward toward the center or something?

Lemmee ,

Neat! Thanks for sharing

Lemmee ,

Poly cotton blend gets me bobbin along every damn time. Beat is just so sick.

Lemmee OP ,

It was incredible. Getting a little blister on the tomatoes and mushrooms really levels up the whole plate. Gotta figure out what to do with the leftover pancakes… might just run back the whole dish for dinner tomorrow!

Lemmee ,

Seriously. Over half this thread is people feeding this troll.

Lemmee ,

I love how that song is all about how much regret he has for not continuing to draw/paint, and how recently aes is doing all sorts of drawing /painting. Just feels so good to get back. That pigeonometry short on YouTube is so fun.

Lemmee ,

Great way to kick off a weekend with some new Prof.

Lemmee ,

It’s come so far! It used to just be for tech nerds and privacy extremists. But it’s so easy to use now, everyone who wants to enjoy the IoT world again without losing personal control can do it!

Lemmee ,

Not trying to defend this drivel, but the metric is clearly normalized “per 1000 births”

Lemmee OP ,

Oh interesting! I didn’t even know that existed. That definitely seems like the right choice! Thanks for the tip

Lemmee OP ,

I might give this a try while I work on the actual underlying cause. The rest of the automation isn’t impacted. It just turns the lights a color when it starts, then resets the color when the automation finishes.

Lemmee ,

I actually have you tagged as “vegan” so you don’t need to tell me!

I’m vegan btw
(I also use arch and ride a fixed gear bike)
Btw

Lemmee ,

And the solution was to kill the birds?? Surely there is an option that is less lethal, no?

Lemmee ,

Don’t bother with this fucking guy. They’re in every thread about eating less meat arguing that eating meat is best. I’ve already gotten tricked into replying several times in the past.

Don’t feed the trolls.

Lemmee ,

First of all, congrats! And thank you for letting your compassion and empathy affect change in your life and the many many lives of animals.

Second, meal prep. Get some good Tupperware (I use the Pyrex snap wear stuff) and learn some recipes that taste good leftover or even cold.

Lastly, Always have something to eat with you. Protein bar, fruit, or a Tupperware of leftovers.

Good luck!
