    Another addiction

    I have the older Gen5 (there is a Gen5+ and 7 now). To pair, I usually unplug the stick, press the action button and it will slowly blink blue constantly. In the beginning I paired it at my desk, with the stick and new device near each other. If you have a brand new unused device (that...

    Another addiction

    When first starting out with HA, I used a Pi 2/3 and I found it too slow, especially when you had to reboot it to get HA to take a change, so I switched to to a Dell/Wyze thin client, been using that since. Although HA has improved greatly over the last 4 years (lovelace interface, etc.), such...

    log4j - Are we doomed?

    I saw the alert when it first came out, but haven't checked it out recently and assume there is no list of affected software/websites, etc that may be affected yet. Most likely we'll hear about them after they release a fix. Used to follow this stuff more intently, but turned over the websites...

    Refurb Computers

    Any old computer will do for Linux, unless you plan to do video editing, CAD/CAM, etc. I run most computers on Linux (scratch build Plex server,X200, X220, X240 thinkpads, etc) other than my BI and office computer for doing taxes, etc. For those looking for Blue Iris computer, be aware that...

    System Stopped Working

    If connecting your laptop directly to your cam computer network card and can't ping your cam computer and can't get to your cam computer via browser on the laptop, then it's your network card! Simple process of elimination, starting with testing your cam computer network card.

    System Stopped Working

    If you have an extra laptop, change the IP address of the wired network of the extra laptop to your cam network IP range, connect it to your cam network connection and see if it works ((i.e. bring up UI3). This will eliminate the port on the cam computer being bad. If that works, then go into...

    wd purple pro noisy drive seek

    I found them to be quieter, along with drawing less power (thus less heat). On my work RAID servers, I added Hitachi (HGST) 8TB Enterprise (helium) drives several years ago. At that time, anything 8TB and over used helium in HGST drives. Helium lets them create larger capacity drives and I...

    wd purple pro noisy drive seek

    I've read that WD has found a way of not using helium in larger drives now and they make more noise. I have a 10TB Red CMR drive that I bought last year for my Plex server and it is very noisy too.

    This "chip" shortage is frustrating

    That's good to know, my 15 year old Hotpoint Fridge is acting up, then the dishwasher stopped working. The stove still going strong though. The fridge had a build up ice in freezer and it blocked the air getting to the main area and ended up using the freezer portion as the cool area...

    Up to recently, I've been using an old LG phone for internal use (HA and Blue Iris), that can't access the internet. Replaced it with a FireTablet on prime day. Just because it's old, doesn't mean you can't find a use for it:)

    160 open BI Ports?

    VPN Fusion appears to be a VPN client, where you can connect to a VPN service with multiple connections.
