  1. Exactly why I think just test it for yourself with a/b testing because ultimately just like an audiophile it's all subjective for the person listening.
  2. Garbage in garbage out. I think we need to focus on the source. The data sheets do cover some of the dac info. In reality I'm guessing any serious audiophile isn't going to remotely assume these devices meet their needs. Ceiling speakers aren't exactly audiophile. This is for over thinkers. Do some A/B testing with the same track using the dacs you have to see if you notice a difference. I think people have more issues with speaker quality, line distance, acoustics, directionally, stereo vs mono etc than dac quality. My episode architectural speakers are mediocre at best. Still sounds fine for house music.
  3. Can we now use an android tablet for intercom within the house? Glad I waited for the T4's. Would like to see that wall mounted device also go mobile. Looks like it could.
  4. You might be right. That would sure be useful.
  5. No, but neither will that Wifi porter. QR codes for idevices.
  6. FYI you can do this for like $5 with NFC stickers off Amazon. You get the stickers and can program them from your phone.
  7. That's a good suggestion. I run cable and ATT, but the LTE suggestion is solid. You can do this really cheap these days or it really is a lot less expensive than in the past.
  8. I have essentially this setup. I also have a USG in a second install and I was curious about your heat comment. I just hit it with my FLIR camera and it's running about 100F. I think it runs about 30% cpu. Weird yours is so hot...not sure I need to fondle my USG all that much, but I don't think it should be too hot to touch. Maybe you need a software update?
  9. Nice. I actually buy twice as many spoons as all other utensils for this reason. Once a year I also polish all the bite marks off and put them back in rotation. I have those super quiet disposals that can disappear a whole chicken. We've tried the SilverSaver Sink Stopper's and they work pretty good.
  10. Nice try. I'm guessing you also subscribe to Q and watch fox news. lol/
  11. You guys sure like to argue the small stuff. When comparing an air switch to a non air switch the air switch is safer. I don't think we need to argue that point. I wont bother.
  12. An air switch can be momentary or toggle. I recommend you check them out if you switch one day. lol. http://presair.com/shop/garbage-disposal-air-button/ https://insinkerator.emerson.com/en-us/shop/insinkerator/insinkerator-stsdualoutlet
  13. Because momentary contact switch has voltage in the switch unless you have some special type of non electric momentary switch in mind. I'd also point out that requiring one hand to be on the switch while another hand is operating the usage of the disposal is less safe than having two hands available.
  14. Perhaps, but these are not as safe as an air switch.
  15. I believe the only safe switch for a garbage disposal in the sink is an air switch. These have a few advantages. 1) the button is small and can be installed on the counter in a through hole next to the faucet within reach of even the most span challenged people 2) they are completely safe with wet hands 3) they typically have a timed auto off setting so if you turn it on it will go off after say 20 seconds.
  16. Curious about what you are doing with Thingsboard. What data are you publishing and how are you using it on the Thingsboard side?
  17. I think I'd make it clear to wire the junction box for the fan "normally". Meaning run two circuits from the wall location. An electrician would do this out of habbit/code anyway so don't ask them to do it any different. For sure if you wire hot you want the controller to work. If it doesn't it also would not work when you toggle the power using a switch. If you need to toggle power when you wire the box hot you can always flip the breaker. As noted these controllers use a remote and can be controlled using wifi. When your wifi goes down they actually fall back to AP mode so you can still access them.
  18. You are sort of DIY, right? If you had to make it work you can go from zigbee to MQTT to C4 and back. Probably better to just buy things that integrate with C4 though.
  19. Easiest solution is to simply use different bulbs and call it a day.
  20. I say good plan. You have clearly researched.
  21. How's the pandemic treating you? Looks like this is a new member. So it's either a real person that is not super experienced or skilled in forum use OR it's a bot laying down a history in the forum.
