    Do you have any articles discussing this? I'm interested to learn more as someone who doesn't live there.

  • Physical keyboard for alarm
  • jgkawell jgkawell 4w ago 100%

    It is expensive but that Frient keypad is what I have and it's fantastic. Been running it for about a year now and it's rock solid. I've even repurposed Nest tags to work with it.

  • End of an era: Nova Launcher's parent company lays off practically everyone
  • jgkawell jgkawell 2mo ago 100%

    I've been using Neo Launcher for a while as a Nova replacement and it's pretty good. Both of those features are included as well as things like shortcut actions when you double tap or swipe on the home screen.

  • Best ZigBee keypad and RFC tag for alarm ?
  • jgkawell jgkawell 4mo ago 100%

    I don't use it with Alarmo but it would work just fine if I understand how Alarmo functions. I installed it 6 months ago and it still reads as 100% (though who knows how accurate that is). It does require some beefy batteries though so I tend to believe it. The battery reading is coming through Z2M.

    Hope that helps! Here's a helpful thread about getting it working and setting up RFID tags (I used old Nest Secure tags with no issues).

  • Best easy to use e-commerce front end with no javascript?

    That's definitely its focus, but if you want a very simple store it does support payments: https://ghost.org/help/ecommerce/

  • jgkawell jgkawell 4mo ago 100%

    If you're willing to accept JavaScript I'd recommend a Ghost setup. Pretty good platform once it's set up and easy to selfhost. Not sure you'll find a platform without JS for your use case tbh.

  • Best Local Smart Lock for Privacy/Security
  • jgkawell jgkawell 4mo ago 100%

    Thanks for the info. That's odd since most Z-wave devices can enter pairing mode with a button press.

    How do you like the lock? Any issues with it?

  • Networking Gear Recommendations? (starting from scratch)
  • jgkawell jgkawell 5mo ago 100%

    I have two of the U6 lite APs and they cover my whole house perfectly. They're POE but I just got a cheap POE unmanaged TP-Link switch for now.

    Yep! And it's amazing. I just had to keep retrying the connection for like 3-5 minutes.

    I've actually been eyeing the Yale Assure Lock 2 because I want a keyless option (it's Z-wave as well). Does anybody here have experience with that one?

  • jgkawell jgkawell 5mo ago 100%

    Yeah it's weird but usually when Destiny says something has a "chance" to happen it's actually an invisible progress meter based off of kills, damage, etc. Super odd they don't just say that in game.

  • (US) Where do you buy a decent quality dresser?
  • jgkawell jgkawell 7mo ago 100%

    We got one from Grain Wood and liked it so much we got a second. One we have is pine wrapped in a veneer of walnut and the other is painted white. They're not hardwoods, but they're leagues better than particle board IKEA stuff and don't cost a fortune.

    I'm running my own SearXNG instance and trying to configure Gugal to work with it: https://gitlab.com/narektor/gugal It says my instance needs to have API access enabled but for the life of me I can't figure out how to do that. Anyone done this before or know how to do it? edit: SOLVED - see comment below

    I'm using the Piper addon in Home Assistant and want to have multiple voices for various usecases (one for assistant and one for security alerts, etc.). In the "Voice assistants" settings you can configure various personas for Assist to use and there are dropdowns for different voices too select when using Piper (see attached image). However, that dropdown only has a single voice which you configure in the Piper addon configuration. Is there a way to configure multiple voices to the Piper addon at the same time? I can only seem to get one working at a time.

    Speaker recommendations for small shelf

    I'm looking for some good bookshelf speakers to fit into this small shelf. This is a media console that sits underneath the TV in our living room. I'm thinking if I get some speakers that are fairly slim I could lay them on their side. The size of the shelf is shown in the attached picture and there's an equivalent shelf on the other side of the console. Any recommendations?
