    Home assistant advice

    There's also the option to install a smart Plug where the garage door opener plugs in. Add a converter that wires into the wall mount switch terminals of the garage door opener and plugs into the smart plug. Now you can open and close it from whatever dash board....phone/tablet etc. I did...

    Home assistant advice

    I haven't bought anything yet. As far as the M.2 slot, I was just going to buy an enclosure for the SSD that has the slot built in. Then connect it to the pi with USB 3.

    Never thought I'd say this, but.....

    The USPS is horrible where I live. For the longest time I wasn't getting my mail and some of my mail wasn't making it to its destination. I had them send test letters trying to figure out what was going on. As it turns out they had an employee down at the post office that got caught on camera...

    Stupid .dll missing....

    This reply was very helpful. I downloaded the file again and this time used a Unarchiver tool that worked like a charm. I can now load the firmware update tool with no errors.

    Stupid .dll missing....

    I think you're on to something. Yes it was unzipped. The .dll files are in the list of the unzipped updater.

    Stupid .dll missing....

    Its a Fibocom FM 170 modem in a M.2 to ethernet enclosure. Software is a Fibocom windows update tool supplied directly from Fibocom. I guess I'm more interested in what others have done to fix similar errors from trying to run any software they may have on their system. These errors are not...

    Stupid .dll missing....

    I am tinkering with a new cellular modem/router to deploy for my home network. I want to update the firmware but when I run the updater program I get the two included system error messages. I'm running windows 11 but I get the same two errors on my Win 10 machine. I looked in both the System...

    Scammers really Suck...

    Something else you might want to think about is taking your wifes name off any joint property. Its sad but people try and steal identities so they can steal your stuff. I took my wifes name off the land and home we shared right after she passed.

    Scammers really Suck...

    I embarrassingly admit that when my wife had cancer we tried a natural approach. Hell we tried everything else and when you're desperate your thoughts get clouded. It cost us alot of money and other family members helped us out. It obviously didn't work and later there was a law suit of sorts...

    Scammers really Suck...

    Sorry for the loss of your wife. I lost mine to cancer 13 years ago. I wish you the best as you go through the necessary stages of grieving. Ignore the scammer.....he's a bottom feeder scum bag.

    Has anyone set up a solar street light?

    Here in WA state we can have weeks on end of dark gloomy, rainy weather in the winter. I would need a setup large enough to power a light for weeks without any charging from the sun.

    Has anyone set up a solar street light?

    That was my biggest concern with using solar lighting for my camera system. I just didn't think it would be reliable enough. It was more work running the cable but unless the power goes out my lights will always work year around.

    Has anyone set up a solar street light?

    I ended up biting the bullet and ran UF to the location I wanted to put the light. I just didn't want to do all the work and have the solar light underperform in our dark gloomy winters. Before I set up my camera system I didn't have any outdoor lighting at all and it was dark out there. I...

    Review- New Design Tendelux 10 Watt IR illuminator.

    I wonder if the transformer failed and wasn't supplying enough voltage to the illuminator and caused it to fail as well from improper voltage. The PSU's that are included are under powered in my opinion. One of my illuminators would randomly shut off and then come back on. I plugged my other...
