Clean-up possibly unintended consequence

Ubiquiti router recommendation

Curious for those using a Ubiquiti router, which would you recommend? I already have switches so I don’t need more than a couple ports, but I do want it to be rack mountable. Right now I have an Asus router but everything is behind google wifi. The google wifi will remain for now. Unfortunately I didn’t realize when I bought it that it was basically a virus that would take over my network and create its own subnet and dhcp server... but I have 6 nodes and can’t afford to replace that right now s…

Fine, have at it, it's open again LOL

I've been doing some playing with Node Red and I've noticed while searching for info, that threads seem to auto-close after 2 months of inactivity.
For future clean-ups, wouldn't this be the way to go?
Certainly be less work for you @bobbyD

@bobbles

that threads seem to auto-close after 2 months of inactivity.

It has been set for most categories to auto-close after 1 year of inactivity, however the change cannot be applied retroactively, that's how the clean-up project started.

Does feel like there may be a place for those popular topics about networks of various forms.... Not to say there isn't a place already... Perhaps the more popular ones should, over time, be moved to an appropriate category, either existing or new...

The Noob's (in)complete guide to CSS for Hubitat

DISCLAIMER: I'm no web designer and my knowledge of and interest in CSS is pretty low. Everything I've put together in this post is through searching, inferring and experimenting and if there are omissions, mistakes or things that can be done better (which there will be plenty of I'm sure) I'd be happy to be corrected. Everything here is basic 101 stuff for people versed in html/CSS but probably might as well be Greek to everyone else. I won't have time to put everything down initially so will…

Well, you've got a good point, there. Much of the success running Hubitat Elevation comes from well designed network. So there you have it: Local Network - Hubitat

Another unintended consequence:

When Bobby spends time cleaning up I get the notices and it looks I am being targeted because they are either my threads or threads I have been posting in and it hurts my feelings.

Then I realized I only get notifications on those threads for that reason. Presumably, other people are getting other notifications on their threads.

Or ....

[sburke781]

I've found that weird... Others have commented about receiving notifications... but I haven't seen any for my posts that have been closed.... Not complaining.... obviously....

[bobbyD]

@Hal3

other people are getting other notifications on their threads.

Thanks for hanging in there. I am wrapping up the clean up today with a big push, then things will go back to normal. Some users may need to clear hundreds of "unread" notifications.

[Hal3]

@sburke781

Others have commented about receiving notifications...

Not exactly a notification but it shows up flagged as "new" but when I check, the "new" is really

[sburke781]

I don't see those as a notification alongside my avatar, in the same way I would see a response or mention on a current topic, like you have just made. if these are tucked away somewhere else that I don't see, doesn't bother me...

[Hal3]

Protip: When you see Bobby's picture and a lock symbol on a bunch of posts listed as "suggested topics" with old dates just move on.

@Hal3

lock symbol on a bunch of posts listed as "suggested topics" with old dates just move on.

Same rule applies for your 267 new and unread topics... lol

Advice on automated blinds

I'm trying to understand this: In other words if the fan light is already on and a command turns it on again, it turns off. HE thinks it's on, it isn't. There are ways around it, just requires more logic than I would like. The only command I could think of to do this would be an automation. Isn't it possible to tell HE that if the HE reports the light on, and an automation calls for it to go on, don't turn it on (don't toggle it) again? Does that keep the correct status in HE? Also, if your…

Neo Smart Controller for blinds

I don't think Bond or this integration would know where the blind is, but I don't know this for sure. I don't believe the Neocontroller knows where they are. I have a remote that doesn't use Neo controller and just uses RF. The blinds are "dumb" so if you use the RF remote, to raise them, then the HE integration doesn't know where they are. I only control them via HE (which is connected to Alexa, Lutron buttons, Hugo Wifi button remote). I don't think there would be any difference. Ne…

I was going to post some updated info in the hopes it would help someone - there is what turned out to be some misleading or misinterpreted info in those threads and it actually works much better than expected with Hubitat...
