Nice, I didn’t know of them, thanks for sharing!

AdGuard Home, Home Assistant and Zigbee2MQTT.

I have never upgraded every year, I used to every two years, then three. Now I’ve had my iPhone 11 for almost four years, and I’m planning to keep it for 5. It will probably still get new OS updates for another 1 year after that (total of 6).

There is no reason to update your phone every year.

Well put!

That’s handy! Voyager/Wefwef doesn’t have that yet.

Using Voyager (Wefwef), the second link opened for me directly on my Lemmy instance. So I could directly comment / subscribe etc.

Here’s the poll source, for the lazy, like me: https://www.androidauthority.com/reddit-alternatives-lemmy-3335429/

No posts yet, or it just hasn’t synced with my instance?

Edit: Clicked the second link and saw the posts, must be a sync issue.

Thanks for the detailed response!

Ok, so I’m thinking script responses would be useful for a sections of logic, that have one (or more) of the following characteristics:

• It is more complex than you would want to process in a template sensor (as Scripts have the Trace log, and GUI support)
• It is logic that is currently evaluated in multiple scripts/automations, so you can simplify and centralise
• It is an evaluation you want to run on demand
• It is data that you don’t want to keep in the history database

I think I’m wrapping my head around scripts responses. Still need to imagine how it will work for other services.

Perfect! Thanks for all of your work to keep the Fediverse functioning. We appreciate you!

I don’t know enough to agree/disagree, but upvoted for raising the point, and to give it attention.

Unpopular opinion but, Avatar 2: The Way of Water. While it was mostly visually stunning, the writing was just “too painful”.

The subscription number refers to how many people from your instance have subscribed, so if you’re on a small instance, or it’s a niche topic it can be misleading. You’re right though, there are definitely plenty of dead/empty communities around.

Yep

Thanks for your reply. I’m sure I’m missing something, but in the scenario of a temperature sensor, wouldn’t that info already be available in the temperature entity’s state.

So you could already write a script like this one:

    
service: climate.set_fan_mode
data:
  fan_mode: >
    {% if states(‘sensor.temperature’) > 40 %} 5
    {% elif 30 > states(‘sensor.temperature’) > 40 %} 4
    {% else %}  3
    {% endif %}
target:
  entity_id: climate.bedroom_thermostat

  

But again, I’m probably missing something.

Thinking about the calendar service they added, maybe the response is useful for returning multiple pieces of data.

Perhaps a use case is return a history of the previous states, so in your example, you could have a history service that could give you historical values from the temperature sensor. You call asking is the temperature trending up or down, it checks the history and provides a response. Then again, maybe you can already do that with derivative sensors.

Sorry for the scattered response, I feel like I’m on the verge of understanding the feature, but not quite there yet.

Your comment was a roller coaster of emotions. I loved it!

Assuming this isn’t a chat functionality that requires humans to function, maybe it goes down for maintenance over that outage period. If so, it’s terribly designed.
