Failing to control dashboard with command_webview

Failing to control dashboard with command_webview - Lemmy.world

Hi All! I’m very new to home assistant, so forgive me if this is a bit of an obvious answer for someone who knows their way around a bit, but I’m having trouble controlling my tablet’s active dashboard with the “command_webview” notification command. For reference, I’m using “madface”'s suggestion from this link [https://community.home-assistant.io/t/unlock-tablet-screen-nativelly-on-motion-detector-kiosk-mode/514638] to handle the screen on/off behavior, and its working great, except for the fact that no matter what I use for the “command_webview” nested command: “/lovelace-flur” in the linked example, I cannot get the companion app to switch to any dashboard other than the default/main dashboard. I’ve traced the issue to here [https://community.home-assistant.io/t/command-webview-only-opens-home-screen/461597/10], which implies a resolution can be found in the definition of “path” [https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/views/#path], (linked from the documentation for command_webview [https://companion.home-assistant.io/docs/notifications/notification-commands#webview]), but the link is dead as a doornail. My assumption is that the “path” corresponds to “https://homeassistant.<mydomain>.com/<path>”, but that doesn’t seem to do the trick, and I’m at a loss for other things to try in the absense of a working “path” documentation link. Hopefully someone here might be able to point me in the right direction? Any help is much appreciated!

Layer shift sanity check

Layer shift sanity check - Lemmy.world

Curious if I can get a sanity check off my problem diagnosis (or alternate theories!) I tried a long print today and wound up with a 1/2 inch layer shift on the x-axis near the end of a long print, taller than most I’ve done, not certainly not the tallest. It occured on a spool I just opened a few days ago and printed two other ~250g pieces with. I’m very certain that I never lost control of the filament end. My spool in mounted using the stock ender 3 mount on the left side is the gantry and a filament guide arm. After reading a bit, I’m thinking this was due to the filament on the spool loosening up from a large travel and then binding on itself. Seems the easiest way to fix this might just be to put more space between the spool and the printer so the slack can absorb the shifting without pushing back on the spool and loosening several turns off filament. I don’t think it’s heat or any general axis binding as the shift only happened at a single layer, at a hight that I’ve been able to print through before, and the motion generally appears smooth when I exercise it. So… Experimentation will probably prove me right or wrong, but before I sink another day of print time… Does that sound reasonable or am I missing a common problem?

At what point do you let go of hardware after upgrading?

At what point do you let go of hardware after upgrading? - Lemmy.world

I’ve got a problem. I’m a technology hoarder. I still have the first PC I bought myself some 15 years ago cause “I might use it for something!” My desktop after that one is an unRAID box. The one after that is my “lab” PC (3d printing, embedded projects etc) and then finally, my current generation main PC. I want to upgrade my main PC soon (can’t run new games, CPU and GPU limited), which means potentially kicking everything else “down the chain” to a new purpose as it gets a slightly better version of itself. I find the thought of this exhausting though. So much configuration/setup to give upgrades to things whose existence is only because I didn’t want to part with functioning hardware. My current thought is to “break the cycle” by condensing all non-primary functions to my current PC, as an unRAID box hosting everything other than main gaming PC. From there, the rule needs to be tech goes into one of those two boxes, or it gets sold/donated. What do you all think. Is that reasonable? How do you manage your spare equipment post upgrade?

Personal data... historian?

Personal data... historian? - Lemmy.world

Hi all (First Lemmy post, yay!) Does anyone have recommendations for a way to capture, archive and visualize arbitrary data in one convenient location. I’m talking about arbitrary/misc. stuff like electricity usage, gas usage, body weight, spending, mileage, habit tracking etc… Essentially looking for a super solution that can be easily interfaced with, has convenient methods of browsing, filtering, and visualizing, and can (obviously, based on post location) be self hosted. I currently use mint, beestat, Google Fit, Samsung Health and probably a few others as my trackers/monitors of my personal and home data, but I’ve always been curious about finding a solution where I have complete control over my personal data once it’s captured by the various sources, assuming I can get my hands on it via exporting manually or otherwise. For background, My experience level is pretty minimal. I have unRAID running on an old desktop PC, hosting a file share and gitlab container. I can scrape python programs together easy enough, but databases and web tech will take some learning. I’m interested in ways any of you intelligent folks may have figured out how to manage your personal data! Thanks in advance for sharing!
