I set up my two Nest thermostats to show the outside temperature. One of them says it's 30 F outside, the other says it's 34 F outside. anroid

it is very appropriate, in the andoird thread, to state that smart home stuff is generally crap because everything wants you to make an account and use their app to collect your data, for a device which uses communication to a cloud service to control a device on your same local network meanwhile over in apple home, devices work locally first and foremost, with only a few bad manufacturers having their devices complain or stop working if their internet connection is cut off, meaning that (as i have done) you can block communication with the internet for almost everything, cutting off any way for the manufacturer to talk to its device and get any data about usage patterns or your setup/location/etc. the matter standard has all of those benefits of apple home but also allowing control through other ecosystems: can add a matter smart plug to apple home, google home, alexa, sarnsung smartthings, etc., but thats still relatively new, the spec is missing a bunch of devices that people have/want, and even the 1.2 revision of the spec hasnt been implemented in a lot of software like apple home yet

i really appreciate the manufacturers whose apps have a "homekit only" mode which asks for permission to access apple home data and to talk to devices on the local network, to update firmware of things without making an account with the manufacturer or registering the device or anything like that manufacturers who do that: leviton, eve, meross, maybe one or two other that ive used but am forgetting not as nice as manufacturers who just push their firmware updates through apple home directly (schlage, belkin but their wemo stuff has a ton of other issues), but much better than needing to register an account with the manufacturer and add the device to their app (gently caress you, ge/haier) e: i have three matter smart bulbs from nanoleaf that i also needed to add to my account in their app, but i wasnt too annoyed by that since theyre the first matter devices ive had and for all i know thats required due to the multi-tenancy matter stuff that allows a device to be controlled by (e.g.) apple home and google home and alexa at the same time Lysidas fucked around with this message at 15:46 on Nov 1, 2023 |

One of my Nest thermostats says that it's 47 F outside. The other says it's 42 F outside. It's actually 49 F out.

nests don’t draw power in a recommended way, which was explained to me when my thermostat managed to cause about $500 of damage to my AC when it failed. apparently it’s pretty common and they do this poo poo often. I have an ecobee now that’s not as cool but also hasn’t tried to murder my house so I guess that’s something.

google has gotten so desperate about green bubble stigma that they’re pushing the EU to force Apple to open the iMessage protocol. I look forward to the reaction when they implement it and Apple still makes their bubbles green.

I have an ecobee now that’s not as cool but also hasn’t tried to murder my house so I guess that’s something. nest thermostats do not necessarily pull power such that they can damage hvac systems, but it is possible (and apparently relatively common) to install them in that way they can run without a common (neutral, or c-) wire, like a smart light switch that works without a neutral, but that means the device has to insert itself as a load in series with the hvac system, which depending on system can cause a lot of spurious activation, maybe including rapid cycling which can damage stuff as you said if you connect it with a c-wire, the thermostat gets continuous power from the hvac system and doesnt need to potentially power the system on to keep its internal battery charged, and all is well this is described in pretty good detail in https://smartthermostatguide.com/no-c-wire-install-a-nest-thermostat-at-your-own-risk/ ecobee thermostats cannot be installed without a common wire, they have no battery and require continuous power from the system, so they are a lot safer in that it is not possible to install them in a way that will disagree with various types of hvac setup, so if you were to connect a nest the same way your ecobee is hooked up now, you would probably not have the same issues (emphasis on "probably", i am not a hvac expert, and thats not a $500 bet i would want to make, especially because a nest would be a downgrade for us in that very few of them integrate with apple home, and poorly)

that was exactly it, I couldn’t remember the details but everything you said is exactly what the hvac dude told me. I didn’t live in the house when it was installed, alas I *did* have the AC unit replaced so it’s a shame they didn’t pick up on the potential issue at the time, but I do remember the internal battery of the nest running dead at one point before so there were problems brewing I didn’t know about.

home hvac iinstallers are dumb as bricks and normally only run the minimum required wires and leave the C and a bunch out.

my ecobee came with a wiring kit to work around the lack of a c wire but I didn't end up having to use it because I found the c wire live and loose inside the wall. in short:Celexi posted:home hvac iinstallers are dumb as bricks

peeking behind the thermostat and finding wires coming out a hole clearly made with a hammer I had to do the extra common wire adapter for my ecobee but I ran a nest with no common just g-y-w-r wires for years without issue

skunks fuckin own, op. went up to the mountains a couple of months ago and spent my nights sitting by a fire pit. a parade of skunks came throughout the night to feast on birdseed that fell from the feeders. just chilled and watched the big fuzzy fellas as they snuffed and shuffled around

they’re apparently pretty blind, so occasionally they’d bump into each other while eating and get all freaked out. they’d stomp and do this indignant huffing. then calm down and get back to eating birdseed

we always have a skunk family living with us. last year i caught three kits tumbling around playing and just stood and watched for a while instead of frightening them into running away. they’d pretend to be upset and get into spray mode with each other before jumping back into wrasslin adorable

i have a couple that wander through the back yard all summer, looking for grubs. my neighbour got a new dog though and i think it may have scared them off as i haven't seen them in a while. they are definitely blind as hell. so are the opossums as far as i can tell, they just stroll right past me as long as i'm sitting fairly still.

who could possibly have seen this comingquote:Nothing has pulled the Nothing Chats beta from the Google Play store, saying it is “delaying the launch until further notice” while it fixes “several bugs.” The app promised to let Nothing Phone 2 users text with iMessage, but it required allowing Sunbird, who provides the platform, log into users’ iCloud accounts on its own Mac Mini servers, which... isn’t great?
