Damn good bot!
I’ve definitely not experienced this and I use a CC2531-based network in a very large home with about 40 zigbee devices. My setup was originally deployed for Zigbee a few years ago and has been pretty reliable. A quick Googlin’ indicates that the MAC access error can be caused by WiFi interference though. Have you tried changing the zigbee channel?
EDIT: Meant to include the link to the zigbee docs about the Mac access error you’re seeing. https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/guide/faq/#common-error-codes
I’m sure it will depend a bit on your exact setup (video card especially, and likely display server too) but I can confirm that Baldur’s Gate 2 (the only one I own on Steam) literally just worked with the built-in Proton emulation. I clicked install, then once it downloaded I clicked play and required no additional intervention.
There are many ways to skin that particular cat.
I see lots of folks using variations of this homemade dealy: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/fsr-the-best-bed-occupancy-sensor/365795
I however have a SleepNumber bed which heretically has a cloud integration in HASS that provides an impressively accurate presence sensor for both sides of my bed.
If I were to get a new bed I might build my own, or consider the Withings Sleep Mats - https://www.withings.com/us/en/sleep/shop which should just work with the HASS/Withings integration. The Sleep mats are too expensive in my opinion though I really like my Withings Smart Scale.
You can use it for the most basic of things and build from there. My first automation was turning off all the lights around my home at bed time (triggered by a button which makes it less automation and more remote control I guess). From there the bug bit me and I do all kinds of crazy stuff now.
The most practical is my load-shifting power automations. My power company has a rate plan that rewards you with really cheap power if most of the time in exchange for not using power during peak times. I selected this plan and automate a near-complete shutdown of the electrical systems in my home during peak times - the A/C goes off, the water heater goes off, the pool pump off, nearly everything except for lights. Total house power use during this time goes to like 400watts as a result. It has saved me hundreds on my power bill, even with adding an electric car that needs to charge every night!
The most magical is likely the automations around my bed. Both going to bed and getting out of bed are detected and magical stuff happens. When the first person gets into bed (either my wife or myself) almost nothing happens other than the lights dimming in the bedroom to get ready for sleep. Once the second person is in bed a bunch of things happen - all of the lights in the house go off, the doors lock (if they weren’t already), the garage doors close (if they weren’t already), the security system arms for “Home mode”, the HVAC systems go into eco mode outside of the sleeping areas, and a toggle is set for “Sleep mode” that allows me to have other automations make decisions based on it (like if an interior motion sensor turns on a light during sleep mode, the light is turned on at a low dim mode). When the first person gets out of bed after our wake up time of 06:00 the coffee maker will start brewing. Once the second person is out of bed the sleep mode is disabled and most of the home systems return to normal.
Another favorite is the nightlight mode for my kids. Their bedrooms are on opposite ends of a hallway with a shared bathroom in the middle. During sleep mode, if one of them opens their door at night, the lights on their side of the hallway will turn on to a very warm color and very dim, but plenty to walk by. The bathroom lights also turn on dimly and everything automatically turns off a few minutes after motion stops being detected.
I’ve got tons of stuff related to motion detection for security and such too. It’s really a sickness once you get into it. I can’t stop sometimes… send help…
Gawddamn…. It’s looking like we’re gonna be cranking up outboard motors like a fishing boat to power the next generation of these cards…
Stardew Valley!! The local co-op on the switch is my favorite way to play with my son. The game is so relaxing and once you get into it a bit it’s fun to see all of the ways we can divide up the chores and work together to make the farm better.
I love it. Lemmy seems to be a solid implementation so far, it was easy to set up and seems stable and efficient. More than that, I LOVE the distributed nature of everything. I believe that this federated protocol will be infinitely more resilient to the whims of individuals acting only in their own interests.
There are some desperately needed features to make the dream come true though. The ability to effortlessly migrate users, communities, and content between instances on the fediverse I think will be essential to securing the future of this platform. I hope someone is working on it and that a standard method is adopted by the large projects in the space.
There’s also the challenge of discoverability, but that is also somewhat of the thrill to me. I remember when you had to work to find communities online and this very much brings back those memories. I get so excited when a user from a small, distant instance interacts with my own instance as I get another thread to follow into new and potentially awesome corners of the fediverse. I think as that particular nuance of this platform becomes better understood by users at large we will see all sorts of new interactions (both positive and negative I’m sure!).
I’m excited to be here for it.
