Same chat in the home automation thread. I'll keep up the search. --- For actual Mac software chat, I've just upgraded to Catalina (I was hanging on for a vital app to go 64). In iTunes I liked to be in "songs" view, and then when you search, it narrows the songs list to matching songs. Now in the Music app, it jumps you to a graphical results page, which I don't like. Any way to go back to the old way?

is there a way to have iCloud only store a certain amount of photos on your phone, but still have everything new backup automatically to a mac? I already have Photos set to keep a local copy of everything on my Mac, and ideally I'd downgrade my iCloud storage to the minimum and have the phone keep a year or two saved but every new photo would automatically end up on my Mac's hard drive.

Source: my Netatmo thermostat + valves. Can’t you just create automations in HomeKit for that? Just set the trigger as a time of day and the action to be changing the temperature or adjusting the valves. I don’t think anything should have to happen in the app for the device. Edit: like this

The device doesn’t need any knowledge about previous states or plans for future states. That’s what the hub for HomeKit handles.

For Music, you want to be using the filter field. Apparently, I didn't need to set the regular search shortcut to something else, but if it behaves strangely then maybe change that, too. At the very least, you'll need both the show and hide options, otherwise pressing cmd-f will only open, not hide the little search filter pane. Also, remember that for changing shortcut keys like this, you need to type the menu item's name exactly, so if you're not using english, you'll need to sort out what the appropriate menu item is.  f.e: Wow, there's a ton of wasted space in that screenshot.

Is there an accepted best practice for setting a NAS up on MacOS? I’ve got a lot of music and for storage reasons I’d prefer to house my music library on there in possible. Thought it was working well until today when I found the music library had cloned itself into the hard drive music folder lol.

All I want to do is set a target temperature from my phone, and maybe schedule a daily shutoff at 2300 in case we forget, without having my thermostat on the internet with another proprietary cloud account.

I can't seem to figure out how to get the aux cable running from one of my synthesizers into the headphone jack, to be used as input. I read all the Google guides about going to settings, changing the input, but doesn't work. Oh should I upgrade to Big Surg or will I be disappointed. Binary Badger posted:

Was playing around with my pocket operator today and wondered the same thing. My MBP seems to pick up when I plug a TRRS plug in and add a mic input so it should theoretically be possible but I can’t figure out for the life of me how to just take something from a line out jack with a standard TRS cable and have MacOS pick it up.

Anyone have any recommendations on tools to cleanup photo libraries or should I just give Tim Apple more money for more iCloud. Both the waifu and mother in law have gigantic photo libraries and have duplicates, multiple versions of pictures, etc. that neither of them are going to ever spend any time cleaning up, but would be happy to see what a program could do.

Yeah, 1/8 inch jacks on MBPs only have mono mic inputs via TRRS since the first retinas in 2012. You're gonna need a DAC for stereo line input.

Thanks Ants posted:Tado is HomeKit certified as well. Hive is poo poo, do not buy it. I saw them and discounted it because "No Internet connection just means that controlling your heating or air conditioning remotely via the mobile or web app is not possible during this time." And also because lots of people were moaning about a monthly fee to use the app, but again, if basic temperature setting via HomeKit is possible on LAN only, that would be fine (and cheaper than the Netatmo mentioned above).

Bobstar posted:I saw them and discounted it because If its homekit certified it should work through the internet as well, as long as both the homekit hub and the iphone/ipad/mac that you're trying to change the temp through are online. Reading through this review it looks like the only thing you'd need to pay for if you wanted it is their automated temp controls that turn up/down the temp depending on your presence in the home. You can do that with a few automations in homekit so I don't really see the value in that unless you REALLY value saving a half hour of your time in setting that up initially. https://homekitnews.com/2019/09/30/tado-smart-ac-control-v3-review/

Cool. I have just seen in their compatibility guide that it's suitable for my brand of heating system, except when the existing thermostat controls the fan - which mine does. So I think my heating system may be too obscure for an easy smart retrofit. Might contact the installers for advice. Thanks all for the HomeKit enlightenment anyway

Gemini2 worked pretty well and got about 75% of the dupes, I still had to go in and do a lot of hand pruning, but was happy it erred on the side of caution rather than just wiping out everything. Only downside is it's MacPaw and when I used it last it loved to tell me how I needed CleanMyMac and that I really needed It installed NOW! I also tried Photos Duplicate Cleaner, Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto, and Aperture when it was around. Out of those Aperture was the best.
