I learned long ago not to trust corporate homebuilders.

A similar one changes my LED-filled floor lamp (running WLED) to a pattern that matches the current weather conditions. Falling rain, lightning, heat "rising". Sort of an ambient notification system. Another warns my wife if her c

Building are different in different countries, and other geopolitical divisions. The UK authorities, for example, say it's safe to shower during a storm as long as your plumbing has been properly integrated into a standards-compliant e

The risk of death of showering during a lightning storm could be the same as the risk of death going for a 15 mile drive[0]. A typical lightning bolt is about 300 million Volts and about 30,000 Amps. Since even the best-grounded home certai

It largely centers on this template sensor: {% set distance = states('sensor.lightning_detector_lightning_distance')|int(999) %} {% set bearing = states('sensor.lightning_detector_lightning_azimuth')|int %}

As mentioned before, we don't worry. There's no judgment. It's a simple binary. And we spend the time enjoying the storm that we otherwise would've missed.

The difference in expected utility from showering (either during a lightning storm or not) is minimally affected by the choice to postpone it. That's why I'm content to call it a binary rule. The choice of showering/bathing a

Yes, especially in older homes or homes with poor grounding. Lightning can discharge through water supply lines[0]. There are even cases of toilets exploding due to lightning strikes[1]. (Google for more) Sure, it's exceedingly rare. B

Yes, it's exceedingly rare. But it's one of those "avoiding this activity for an hour could prevent you from dying painfully" things, so we don't shower/bathe/wash dishes when there's lightning.

From the repo: Data is served through a public MQTT server (dedicated to serve requests for this component) - thanks to geohash-based topics and some other optimizations it greatly reduces amount of data sent to clients comparing to d

For my kids, I have a virtual light switch in HomeKit called "Shower Is Safe". It's pinned to the top of the Home app. I use the Home Assistant integration to fetch this data and run some calculations on the past few minutes

The issue with using Pydantic's model_to_json is that nested objects will return a nested schema, and OpenAI ignores description annotations for anything not at the root level. In practice, that means any nested parameters (e.g. array

DHT22 isn't too bad (and certainly more accurate than the DHT11), and even though it's slow, it seems fine for the OP's use case. Personally, I like the HDC3021. It's I2C, uses different addresses for different sample ra

Way to go, Naya! You taught me something new about cats, and I'm probably older than your dad! Keep it up, you're doing great! :)

Please consider removing the last para. It's not relevant, and we don't need to give folks on the right even more reason to respond to the left with violence.

I'm concerned that readers are getting the wrong idea. This seems to be guidelines for agencies placing ads on behalf of Mozilla . As in, if Mozilla contracts with Acme Ads to run a campaign, Acme can't do retargeting, etc.

Vibration sensors usually emit X/Y/Z magnitudes, and are small enough to attach to a collar or possibly vetwrapped to a leg (if he'd tolerate that). I haven't used any of the Bluetooth LE ones, but I do use a Zigbee vibr

HLA-B27 is directly related to a number of autoimmune disorders, including lupus. I hope this research can expand to other conditions associated with HLA-B27, like psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, etc.

One of the reasons function calling seems to need better parameter names and descriptions is sneaky: if your function parameters are nested, descriptions aren't actually seen by the LLM. It only sees the names.

Is it the Honda hybrid sound? I owned two hybrid CR-Vs (loved those cars, but got into an accident one year ago today that totaled a three month-old CR-V hybrid and car prices went up so fast we had to downgrade). We always called it "

Looks great! Have buyers used it to create a Wyoming Satellite? A write-up of such a project would help gain a lot of traction, as Home Assistant users are using S3Box and M5Stack boards now and feeling like they're not getting good qu

I wish there was a clear process for individuals to obtain their license plate scan records from these clearinghouses (like NVLS) and the vendors that feed into them (like Flock, which is in use all over my region).

Meltano was my go-to for ingesting data, and dbt for transforming as needed to (ultimately) materialized views for the “core” consumer.
