Interesting. The back of a tube of sensodyne in my medicine cabinet right now says that stannous fluoride may stain teeth. Hard to understand why a 2013 article would contradict a 2023 toothpaste warning.

Also stains your teeth.
Well, yeah. Maybe that was part of the problem? I don’t know.
I’m really glad it’s working out for you. I have mine still all set up, using the hue hub, but I’m not sure I have a real compelling need to use anything HA offers, yet. It just sits there.
I looked online and resetting the bulbs seemed to require a special dimmer switch or something? It doesn’t appear to be possible with just the bulb.
I had trouble resetting the bulbs. Pairing seemed random, though perhaps that’s because resetting was random. Also, the need for an mqtt broker was not intuitive. Overall, the entire process was more complicated than ZHA.
P.s. what is that paid android app??
Oh my! That’s the one thing I didn’t seriously try: flashing new firmware on the Sonoff dongle. I briefly looked into it, but I was having so much other trouble by that point it seemed futile.
That you seriously needed to perform this step is just awful. I’m so sorry!
That’s simultaneously encouraging and discouraging to hear!
Same. When I bought mine, I didn’t know or realize what I was doing. That was like 7 years ago, though.
Did you get the “P” or “E” dongle? I heard the “P” one has better compatibility with z2m–which is why I got that one–but the “E” one may have a stronger wireless signal?
I really appreciate this comment. I didn’t have this knowledge or perspective. Thanks for sharing. I’ll be patient.
That’s about the last step I took before I threw in the towel. It was on “auto”, and I tried changing the channel in ZHA and then couldn’t see a single bulb.
Or maybe a different step lost all bulbs? Honestly, it all felt a bit like voodoo.
The Sonoff “P” dongle seems to have a weak signal maybe?
This is kinda wild. If “basically any action you take” is really real, I bet I had an average of 100 api calls per day. The only way I’d take less than 20 actions/day is if I used it for <30 minutes/day.
I loved that sub!!
I’m thinking of it like the micro plastics that were purposely added to bath wash and soap, and now are banned for use in that purpose. I’m not entirely sure I understand the logic behind why those are (justifiably) banned, but microfiber cloths are not.
My stupid question is because I haven’t seen any other news articles specifically talking about microfiber and its contribution to micro plastics.
Agreed. If it was “intentionally added” PFAS, it would say that, and that might be a big deal. I read through the article and didn’t see that. Just speculation that it might be. PFAS is everywhere.
These are interesting comments but they also do not motivate change: there’s nothing you–the one person your are–can do because the problem is so much bigger than you are.
If it was important, why wait so long before prompting them again? No, it’s not your fault, but if it was a machine on the other end you would have already gotten an answer, so some understanding and accommodation seems reasonable.
