I had a Kenmore (I think the mfg was Char Broil) for 29 years and only had to change out the burners and the like once. The bottom tray finally rusted and it needed some other t.l.c. but no parts could be found. I got a Pit Boss pellet/gas combo at the end of last season. Smoke side is awesome, Gas side is good with some unevenness (hot & cold spots). The whole thing seems to be well built with heavy gage powder coated or anodized aluminum parts. Will see how it holds up.

80% of the countries find them tasty, I for one have not tried insect, at least not on purpose.

In case your serious that you don’t get it. The bottom pic is all crustaceans that are more closely related to insects than fish.

Not that I know what kohlchan.net/int even is or would visit it anyway, but why?

EDIT: This looks like a bot or spammer account since I see this in many many communities, so it’s either malware or some kind or click bait. So NVM, user blocked.

I think this one is a custom module, it solders into a slot on the main board vertically with pads on both sides of the modules bottom edge.

I also have a VPN set up to my home network that I can connect to with my mobile devices. once connected I use the HA mobile app pathed to my local HA server IP. I don’t use HA cloud or any other cloud service. It works well for me, I obviously can’t get notification on the mobile when not connected but I have not had a need yet. If/When I'm do want notifications I would most likely explore, e-mail, e-mail to SMS, SMS API or something that won’t involve external servers. I would not want to send sensitive info via SMS but a shot alert that said there is something to look at like “HA Alert: Motion detected cam 1” or such would be fine.

I just got a Filohome (tuya) dual switch and used tuya-cloud cutter put ESPHome on it. When setup with ESPhome it will still work even if HA is unreachable ok WiFi is down. I never even downloaded their app, made an account, or signed in.

Note for anyone trying to do the same, the Filohome triple switch device in tuya-cloudcutter will work to load the initial boot firmware but you need to change the yaml config when you install ESPHome. If anyone wants the yaml file let me know.

Eject the warp core!

Nice try, scammer.

Good idea!, thanks! that’s one of those, “Whack! I coulda’ had a V8” moments, won’t work for me here (I’m on a mobile as well).

The pop up blocks my whole screen except for a tiny part at the bottom. I guess I could read it by scrolling 1 line at a time but at that point, it’s a pay wall.

Nice.

Update: Got this working without any cloud services. Turns out Sylvania lighting (LEDVance) has an alternate firmware that is an HomKit device that does not require any external cloud, server, etc. Any HA install with bluetooth enabled can pair with it and you don’t need to set up Apple home or a Sylvania account.

1. Download the Sylvania smart home app. (don’t set up an account)
2. Open the app and click the “HomeKit” button. (All this is going to do is scan for unpaired bluetooth smart+ devices)
3. You should see a list of the Smart+ devices with an ⚠️ to the right of it
4. Click on the device to update the firmware to the HomeKit firmware
5. That is all the Sylvania app is needed for so you can delete once all your devices are firmwares are updated
6. In HA install the HomeKit bridge, you don’t need to pair it with Apple just install it.
7. Make sure your device is near (within 20ft) of your HA bluetooth transceiver and/or an ESP32 bluetooth proxy connected to your HA
8. Once the device is detected you will get a new device notice, open the new device integration and click configure.

Or, just make it fun friendly competition and start a quiz show like tournament of teams from each instance, no need for war.

I try not to use anything google with exception of a few YouTube videos, but I don’t have an account, I also have most of their tracking/ad sites blocked on my network (Apple too), if that blocks a site / video from working then I don’t use that site.
