The fix is to adjust the tailpiece timing or the mounting plate/screw placement. Calibration should be the last step after this.

In my case my HomeAssistant is already well within bluetooth range (setting up a small ~400sqft office). Is it possible in this case to just plug in a USB Bluetooth dongle and connect that way or do I still need the bridge you talked about?
@fasthowto7 күн бұрын
Any Bluetooth dingle that works with Home assistant can be used in that case. If you're using a pc, like a NUC, Bluetooth might already be there check the bios, it could just be disabled.

I have three of there locks of which two eat batteries like there is no tomorrow and the only one I have that I like has 4 AA's which seem to last three times longer. Also their keypad for 60.00 is a total POS and doesn't last or stay connected. Refer to my last comment about August support! Absolute worst! As soon as I find a lock that works cleanly with HA I am switching them out.

I, too, have three of these, with a 4th in hand that I've not yet installed. Check my more recent videos, I did eventually figure out how to get pretty reliable, LOCAL control of them using Bluetooth proxies and the Yale Bluetooth integration.

I'm no electrician, but wouldn't you need to install a bigger box with more box fill, maybe a 22.5 cu in, to be within code? I know box fill applies to conductors, grounds, outlets/switches, and if it has internal clamps, but I feel like it would also apply here. Just a thought.
@fasthowto19 күн бұрын
Good point! I'm no electrician either, but you're probably right. I didn't really show the box in any kind of detail, but the box shown in the video is a 22.5 cu in box. I installed it when I added that switch during the kitchen remodel. :) I always install larger boxes just because it makes things easier having more room in there. Thanks for watching!

Thank you. I just used this to install HA on a NUC6i5 that's been in a drawer for a few years. I suspect it's all a bit overpowered for HA, but it wasn't being used for anything else. Anyway, your instructions were dead easy. I moved the M.2 into an external enclosure, flashed the OS, put the M.2 back in the NUC, and now I have a running (but far from configured) instance of HA. I guess I ought to put some sort of Zigbee dongle on my shopping list. I'll need to start looking for HA for Complete Beginners content too. 🙂

My S7 reported a battery error after it ran ove some cat vomit and I cleaned it. When a new batterr didn't fix the problem, I suspected the motherboard was damaged from water during the cleaning. Roborock would not touch the unit due to pet waste. I even offered to pay for everything and they still said no. When I asked about trying to repair it myself, they sent me a video showing complete disassembly and reassembly. I ordered a replacement motherboard from Aliexpress and hoped for the best. I meticulously labeled every piece and kept the screws with it as I removed it. In the end, the repair worked and my mother has and uses that vaccuum. That video was invaluable. I would have aborted the repair attempt without it. There were too many parts that needed to be removed in the correct order and the correct screws to remove weren't always obvious.
@fasthowtoАй бұрын
I wish. I just winged it, and took lots and lots of photos as I went. Any part that was not removed, and needed to be cleaned, was done so only with a qtip or a damp (not wet) rag. Everything else was removed and soaked in a pan of soapy water, then scrubbed. Then I rinsed them, set them out to dry, and reassembled only once everything was completely dry. It was a horrible experience. Lol
