You can add a channel to the block list by selecting an episode from an episodes list — search results list, channel list, or related videos list — on selection (done by a long ‘click’) you’ll see a popup with the option to add the channel to the block list (bottom of the popup). This works. Although you/me feels that the best/ideal/expected UI choice would be to have the antonym button by the ‘subscribe’ button on the channel page. But works as I’ve described which is excellent.

THANK YOU DEVS for this great app and all the effort put on swift and quick updates.

And my shout out to the ether… With all the AI junk growing like an epidemic, I’d love to have (a) a way to check the age of the channel. And (b) a scaled way to block the AI slop… maybe by sharing block lists!? And, as i’ve been seeing a lot of videos with the channel name as ‘channel Y and channel Z’ — is this really a work by both channels? Or a scam new channel? © I’d like to have a way to not crowd the block list ---- the word filter is working for me only with single words.

I cannot say it enough, praise the Devs! Thank you!

When are military personel not talking officially? …have you seen Sen. Kelly prosecution by trump-hegseth-dptOfWar, they claim retired military personel do not have free speech, aka they are always bound to speak officially. So, I ask again, when are military personel not talking officially?

From the site: with opentherm modulation “the boiler will run for longer periods but it will be producing water at lower temperatures, resulting in less energy being used and maximising the time spent in the higher efficiency condensing mode.” So, longer running times should not be a problem in your setup.

Having seen this webpage www.draytoncontrols.co.uk/…/opentherm-explained , which kind of modulation do you have? Long boiler runs are not always bad.

Also, are you able to use the living room TRVs to restrict the livingroom radiators heat output while keeping what you have set as the main setpoint, in the use case you detailed. That would avoid having the main thermostat triggered off too soon.

I’m really confused by your post. The questions don’t seem to match eachother’s. I feel you have not made clear the specific use case you’re troubleshooting.

I am an inexperienced knob on Homeassistant and home automation, that lurks here out of curiosity and to catch some easy crumbs left around.

But, I feel that I know enough about central heating, radiators and thermostats to justify commenting.

The central heating boilers, pretty much always, just work as on-off. With some internal (boiler) logic on safety limits, like the working temp of the radiator fluid.

Thus your obvious question has an obvious answer. The way to have the main thermostat sending a heating request is to lower it’s setpoint temp.

At the same time, the TRVs are supposed to limit/moderate the lowness of the main thermostat setpoint, i.e., to moderate the way in which the main thermostat activates the boiler ‘too soon’. And TRVs allow you to adjust the comfort of each room (as long as the main thermostat is already requiring the boiler to be on).

As for the presence sensors. Radiators take a long time to heat a room. Like dozens of minutes. If the presence sensors work as their name suggests, I feel they are not a good match with radiators. Plz teach me!! How do these work? What happens when you are sleeping, or when siting, reading, or watching TV, or in the computer.

“I’ve heard about central heating systems not enjoying a fully thermostatic valved circuit.”

‘Enjoy’? Ehh, the pump (usually a part of the boiler) and the tubing that make the radiator’s fluid circulate, from the boiler around the house and around the radiators, they are not contructed/designed to have the circuit closed. 100% closed. Thus the recomendation not to put TRVs in all radiators - which could potentially all close off at the same time and damage the circuit (with overpressure). The recommendation is to have at least one radiator with it’s manual valve always open. The recommendation is also improved to have this radiator in the bottom of the house or the closest to the boiler, instead of a radiator in the top floor bathroom where you’ve left open the window to let out the moisture or something.

Again, what is it really what you want to solve?

Money, I’m going to bet it’s money.

The linked article has a dedicated section «1.3.6 Key truth #6: ‘There’s hope’».

I believe you are wrong because you are inconsiderate to the OP and to the other readers, by commenting before reading the linked article.

I believe you are wrong because you moan before doing your (very small and straight foward) part.

You haven’t addressed a key point on this discussion. Which tells me that either you don’t know what you’re writing about – likely! – or you’re pulling a red herring.

The sad state of things is that 90% of the population won’t care if their favorite MrBeast video has DRM.

Agreed!!

(unfortunately PeerTube is so far off being a reasonable alternative)

Why? Because of the hosting cost? Where is Youtube getting this for cheap?

Thank you for your thorough answer. I’m feeling it’s the AB testing. The issue went away by itself, and now it’s back again. Both NewPipe and PipePipe. It’s just yt video anyway.
