Figured it out! It was as simple as making sure the security keys were generated. I thought I had but they failed to take in ZwaveJS. So for posterity:

• Check the battery mode
• If it looks like data is flowing the way it should, but you’re missing entities associated with the device: thats a security feature. Either no keys or other security issues will keep the device from exposing the entities you want.

Big thanks to @besmtt@lemmy.world and @tburkhol@lemmy.world . I learned a ton more because of your input. Oh also matter is no working as is ESPectre across a dozen or so ESP32-C3s I had. So all in all we got some major upgrades done today!

Great suggestions but it wound up being even more simple and even more stupid: Security keys. Writing a top level note for anyone after right now.

Re: Icon: Understood, but still grateful for the clarity! Unraid working proper again, I didn’t realize how much there was to Ipv6… another day. Have to take care of some things but succesfully back to baseline. I’ll try repovisioning this evening and see what happens! (I’ll post here for posterity)

Unfortunately this is my first and currently only z-wave device; I’ll snag some “fool proof” ones for exactly what you’re saying.

This is a solid lead and I suspect you’re right! Although some stuff that doesn’t add up:

• The device isn’t showing the under “wifi” signal icon
• The device is in “battery mode”, but regarding the procedure to change power mode: It was running on battery during original inclusion, and in fact has never been hooked to AC.

I think you’ve gotten me on the right track, but I gave myself another wrinkle. I’m also trying to get matter working for the first time, and in the process of troubleshooting a provisioning, I put my unraid server (with HA) to communicate via IP6 only. It now is no longer online and also inaccessible via a directly connected monitor… So I need to solve that before I can do anything else with Z-wave…

Happy Sunday…

Well, sort of. ACA plan carriers are private, but the advanced premium subsidies are provided by the tax payer. There are totally private companies that act as healthcare “navigators” essentially helping people navigate their ACA benefits. Those firms receive a payout on a per-sign up basis in most cases. I’ve applied both directly and with one of those firms, and it did make things significantly easier. I have no doubt there are sketchy ones that sign people up for services they’re not eligible for or make people up entirely. It’s no different from fraud medical device companies that collect the money from medicare for “selling” someone a mobility scooter or the like, but there’s no scooter and sometimes no person. Fraud does happen.

But it’s a distraction to the biggest fraud which is that private plans are funded by the US government in the first place. We have socialized healthcare already in the USA, just in the most painful, cruel, ass backwards, inefficient way possible.

Honestly I learned linux because I needed to turn some pumps on and off…

Made some arduino based controllers, but those were a pain to figure out how to access remotely, so raspberry pi it was, but eventually I needed more horsepower, so debian it was, then ESP-32s were popularized and now I’ve come full circle with a fleet of ESP-32s reporting to a debian server… eventually I’ll get around to understanding some of the hardware interface in the OS a bit more.

All of it by just kind of bumping into problems

Well shit… There goes my weekend…

It can depend, also this little snippet doesn’t say if it’s energy or delivery. Some utilities really like expanding delivery because the projects are revenue, and they don’t make much, if any, on the delivery. But in some cases those delivery expansion projects have a long payback time, so they avoid them until they’re critical, and also lose if after building the demand they were serving goes down.

It also varies a ton by state (Texas being the most extreme example). As well as, someone noted below, how the energy purchase goes. In my state there’s an independent not for profit that is not the utility, and not the energy producer, that just coordinates purchase of power from the broader region (across multiple states). They’ll mix whats coming into the grid in the state going “call Ohio and buy XXYY megawatts for ZZ hrs from that coal fire joint”. The control room is cool as hell. They seem pretty ethically clean, but purchasing that power is a bidding process (like, real time), and your bid has to be competitive.

Yeah I’m sober a year now due to drinking myself into severe heart failure (ejection fraction of 17%, up to 47% now) and this is correct. If you can enjoy it great, but the second people start making excuses it’s over, it’s just a matter of how long the slide takes.

I destroy those since going sober. I think it’s that carbonation itself has a flavor, and in cheap beer that carbonation was actually the majority of the feel/flavor. Occasionally I’ll feel silly buying so much, but then I remember how much I used to spend on booze without batting an eye and grab another 12 pack for $2.85.

Despite doing an awful lot with ESP32s, Home assistant, and a bunch of LoRa stuff, I know very little about BLE. Would it be possible for folks to voluntarily add their MAC to a data base on gitlab, and have a ESP32 program that:

1. Spammed out whatever the max reasonable number of random entries from that database is
2. Updated it every-time it was on a specified WiFi So that every time I drove by one of these, not only do I look like a spacehulk of TPS, headphones, cars and cellphones, but I’m specifically helping someone appear somewhere not their location as well?

big whoop. With the power of migraines some of us have had desktops like this for decades!

The one and only positive of stores doing this is cheap e-ink displays.

I JUST put together that the moto partnership means “buying a phone loaded with gOS” not “moto is working with gOS to ensure it runs smoothly on their hardware”. I was excited before but that is awesome

In theory sure :-p

Just being a dick about it. My local club has many long long discussions about which we should be putting nodes up for.

*meshtastic

oh duh, that’s fantastic! Thanks!

I didnt know it got to that level of specificity! I’ve been using HA for going on a year now, but the app only recently. It has WAY more features than I thought.

I like that idea, that works on everything but my car, which I may be able to do some GPS fencing to get around.

excellent, do you know if tasker pics up specific wireless chargeres? I love what you’re saying about HA, but one of the use cases I’m interested in is turning off my VPN when I set my phone in my cars wireless charger (one of the hardest spots for me to to de-google at the moment).
