playing with IOT

Interesting stuff:
Open-source home automation platform running on Python 3. Track and control all devices at home and automate control. Installation in less than a minute.

@Dysan • 18 mei 2017 09:47Ik doe dus een hoop met home-assistant (https://home-assistant.io/) en wat custom Python scripts/apis wat allemaal op een oude laptop met ubuntu draait (10w verbruik).
De Horizon Box specifiek gaat via Harmony Hub, kan via de standaard integratie of via eigen brouwsels. Lifx en Nest heeft standaard integratie met Google Home. Al heb ik voor Lifx zelf het een-en-ander geschreven in Python om bijvoorbeeld scenes op te slaan en op te roepen met voice commando’s, dat kan weer niet standaard. NS API gaat ook via die Python API en wat er terug gezegd wordt (in het Nederlands) gaat via home-assistant.
Het voordeel van zelf zoiets bouwen is dat ik alles makkelijkers aan elkaar kan knopen dan bijvoorbeeld via IFTTT en Stringify o.i.d.. Zo kan ik bijvoorbeeld “Hey Google, sexy time” roepen en dan veranderd mijn verlichting langzaam naar iets romantischers (denk rood/oranje/roze), speelt er een zwoel lounge muziekje op mijn Sonos van een samba share, gaat de tempratuur wat omhoog en gaat mijn tv aan naar het chromecast kanaal en speelt er van die zelfde samba share een mp4 met een haardvuurtje.
Vet cheesy, I know, ik moet er de eerste vrouw nog mee verrassen
maar het was ook vooral als demo van wat ik allemaal kan aansturen, bedoeld als grapje voor vrienden etc.
Google voegt een notificatiefunctie toe aan zijn Home-speaker. Als gebruikers een belangrijk bericht krijgen, zullen de ledjes op de speaker de aandacht gaan trekken van de gebruiker. De speaker gaat vooralsnog niet uit zichzelf spreken.

Plastic SCM command-line for merge and diff
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/09/03
Just in case I have Plastic SCM without Beyond Compare:
Merge
"C:\Program Files\PlasticSCM5\client\mergetool" -b="%TEMP%\baseFile-guid.pas" -bn="baseSymbolicName" -bh="baseHash" -s="%TEMP%\sourceFile-guid.pas" -sn="srcSymbolicName" -sh="srcHash" -d="...\destinationPath\destinationFile.pas" -dh="destinationHash" -a -r="%TEMP%\resultFile.pas" -t="text" -i="NotIgnore" -e="NONE" -m="forced" -re="NONE" --progress="progressDescription" --extrainfofile="%TEMP%\extraInfoFile.tmp"
Diff
To be done
aa
Merge help (takes about 10 seconds to start):

If the merge can't be resolved automatically (requires user interaction), the merge tool is shown. --silent: This option must be used combined with the --automatic option. When a merge can't be resolved automatically, this option causes the tool to return immediately with a non-zero exit code (no merge tool is shown). If the tool was able to resolve the merge automatically, the program returns exit code 0. Examples: mergetool mergetool -s=file1.txt -d=file2.txt mergetool -s=file1.txt -b=file0.txt --destination=file2.txt mergetool --base=file0.txt -d=file2.txt --source=file1.txt --automatic --result=result.txt mergetool -b=file0.txt -s=file1.txt -d=file2.txt -a -r=result.txt -e=utf7 -i=eol -t=text/csharp -m=onlyone --------------------------- OK ---------------------------
The merge extraInfoFile.tmp has a syntax like this:
Source (cs:-#) relative-sourceFile from cs:-# created by userName on timeStamp Comments: Source changeset description Base (cs:#) relative-baseFile from cs:#@/baseBranch by userName on timeStamp Comments: BO's + CRUDS Destination (cs:#) relative-destinationFile from cs@/destinationBranch created by userName on timeStamp Comments: Destination changeset descriptionWhere each
csis a change set number.

on the dB scales and audio
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/09/03
- Double or twice the loudness = factor 2 means about 10 dB more sensed loudness level (psycho acoustic)
- Double or twice the voltage = factor 2 means 6 dB more measured voltage level (sound pressure level)
- Double or twice the power = factor 2 means 3 dB more calculated power level (sound intensity level)
Now that we’ve straightened that one out…

Solution when xs4all keeps sending non-billing letters to the address where the internet connection is: change contact address
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/08/31
When applying for an internet connection with xs4all and specifying a different billing address, other letters still arrive at the address where the internet connection resides.
I had that, and didn’t want it: [WayBack] Twitter / Notifications. You might not want it for different reasons.
After contacting the web care, both sides learned there are three addresses:
- billing address (bills)
- contact address (all other post than bills)
- service address (where your internet connection – like fiber, ADSL – is connected)
according to the webcare person, it looked like you can only change the “contact address” through the service desk. You can, so that information is still below.
But contacting the service desk revealed that you can also perform two address changes on-line after logging in to https://mijn.xs4all.nl.
- billing address:
- contact address:
- go to https://mijn.xs4all.nl/?mod=index&mod=verhuizen, then
- follow the link under “Verhuizen zonder internetverbinding” named “Adreswijziging doorgeven” to get to https://mijn.xs4all.nl/?mod=address&mod=move
- fill in the form
- submit the form
- confirm the submission
Of course you cannot change the service address as it is where your physical internet connection resides.
xs4all service desk:
[WayBack] https://www.xs4all.nl/contact/
Klantenservice phone +31203987666
Opening hours:
- 08:00 – 20:00 Monday through Friday
- 10:00-17:00 Saturday

It doesn’t have to be crazy at work
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/08/31
Reminder to check out if this book about “the calm company” has been released yet: [WayBack] It doesn’t have to be crazy at work.
Basecamp is an interesting company that has put action there there mouth is:
Trusted by millions, Basecamp puts everything you need to get work done in one place. It’s the calm, organized way to manage projects, work with clients, and communicate company-wide.
…
We’ve designed our company differently. We’re here to tell you about it, and show you how you can do it. There’s a path. You’ve got to want it, but if you do you’ll realize it’s much nicer over here. You can have a calm company too.
No, it is not The Little Book Of Calm, or another one of that series (;
If it is not yet out, you can still pre-order from Amazon in the USA and Europe:
- https://smile.amazon.com/Doesnt-Have-Be-Crazy-Work/dp/0062874780
- https://smile.amazon.de/Doesnt-Have-Be-Crazy-Work/dp/0062874780

I bumped into this a while ago, but since I’ve been doing quite a bit of research lately, it’s worth repeating.
