SmartHome Community

Hi
I am trying to connect a vintage radio to my home smart network, replacing the old parts with a smart speaker. I have a small light bulb inside the radio hooked up to a 6v battery that I also want to connect to the home network. Is it possible to get a smart device that I can use as a switch for this light bulb circuit? if not, I would be grateful for any ideas on how to connect a small (torch-sized - it needs to slot into a 10mm hole) light bulb to the home network.
many thanks

Was wondering if we can attach files in a PM to another member, would be very useful if we are attaching files with some sensitive password info or whatever

While doing pretty much anything on the site, if you accidentally hover over a username in the "Who's Online" or "Board Statistics" areas, you get a pop-up with some information about that user.

The problem is that this pop-up pops up over whatever content you are reading, including possibly the post editing tool, covers a good part of it, right in the middle, and has no obvious way to close it. There is no close box on the panel, and it does not pop down/away when you mouse-leave it. It just stays there. You can even refresh the page and they come back. The only way I have found to get rid of them is to move away from the current page to another (e.g. using the "Account Info" link in the pop-up's hamburger menu). Transitioning between top-menu items (Categories, Unread, Tags, etc.) does not remove it/them.

It would be nice if these had a close box, or better yet, just popped away when the cursor leaves their boundaries. If that's a bridge too far, then no pop-up at all, just let me click if I want detail for that user.

Moving other conversation here.

Is it, once again, just me, or is anyone else getting regularly logged off the site?

Over the last few days, every time I return to the site on my iPad, I have to log in again. This is new behaviour. I also access from a desktop iMac, and that seems perfectly
OK.

Is it just me (again) or do others get this? The little red bell appears on the notifications icon, but when I look, there are no unread ones there.

I can clear it with “clear all notifications” but it seems to happen again a few days later...

I thought it might be a good idea to link to this forum from Openluup and/or Altui running on Openluup, VeraBridge, ZwayBridge.

how to remove this notification, it's on every page and i see no way to dismiss it.

Wow, OK. I seem to have dark mode. I know I'm old fashioned but I can't stand it. Apart from in a terminal window 🙂

Any way we can change it back?

Cheers

How about a an area to paste code examples with a short explanation, like a libary, Eg. how to watch a variable, http Post request etc. All in one place so easy for biginners to find.
