How do you handle the Semi-Hydro "Smell" ? +250 Hoyas in Semi-Hydro.

i live in a apartment with a very good ventilation and i have over +250 hoyas in semi hydro (and total of 650 plants at home) and started to noticed that its starting to smell a bit. I only notice this when i go outside the apartment and then come back again, i can smell the difference for like a few minutes before its "gone" (due to me getting used to it).

note that the smell isnt a rotten smell (no root rot etc), more like too many pots with water / nutrition in it. The smell is very weak, so it's barely noticeable unless you think about it.

How do you guys battle with the smell when having too many pots at home? Ill rather not downsize my semi-hydro collection ;)

Webpages that ships systemic pesticides to Europe?

Dont have ny pests right now, but want to be prepared when they invade my 350+ Hoyas i have at home.

Are there any webpages that ships systemic pesticides to EU? Ive got my hands on some starkle-g, but that works really great on soil, but not in semi-hydro. So i need buy some systemic pesticides that will also cover the semi-hydro part (around 350-400 plants).

ive testet Substral Celaflor spray (that somehow still is being allowed to be sold in some EU countries) , and it doesnt work that well anymore since its a old pesticide (active ingrediens: acetamiprid).

Anyone got any ideas?

Just a small look at one of my rooms.

Apple Watch and Music Rewind and Forward via action button? - Any shortcut for this?

I have the apple watch ultra with the "orange" action button that i want to bind to so that when i press that button, it should Rewind the current playing song with 20 seconds.

Are there any shortcuts or other way to bind the action button to Rewind music?

Note that the music (via spotify) is playing via my Iphone 17, and not the watch, but i do have the "playing now" screen on my watch when listening to music.

Anyone else obsessed with growing Hoya compacta in semi-hydro?

The Hoya compacta is definitely my favorite plant ever. And it is so easy to grow in semi Hydro with minimum effort, even in low light Sweden. As long as we have grow lights, it will root and grow good!

Ping Matter devices to see if they are offline? Any homebridge plugin for this?

At least once per month the majority of my IKEA Alpstuga air quality monitors (i have 5 of them) goes offline (different dates) and i need to unplug them for them to go back online.

The problem is that i never get any notification or any ping from either apple home app, or the IKEA app (i also have dirigera hub), so i dont know when they go offline, unless i open the ikea app and then go to the room and check the readings).

The devices are dropping the connection to ikea app / apple home, but they are still showing the readings on the alpstuga display.

so my questions is, is there a way for me to get a notification when one of the alpstuga devices goes offline? Any homebridge plugin that allows me to ping a matter device somehow?

Note: Im not interested in installing Home assistant. Tested it a while, didnt like it!

Nuki Ultra shows “Locked” after manually unlocking the door - How to fix this?

I recently switched from a Yale Linus L2 to a Nuki Ultra because I was having a lot of issues with Yale’s Matter support.

I’ve noticed something odd with the Nuki Ultra. When I manually unlock the door using the thumb turn, the lock continues to show Locked state. I have to rotate the thumb turn another 2–3 cm before the status changes to Unlocked.

Ideally, I’d like the lock to report Unlocked as soon as the door is manually unlocked, without having to turn 2-3cm more.

I’ve already tried:

  • Running the Calibrate Smart Lock process several times (no noticeable improvement).
  • Going into Optimize LockingCustom and manually adjusting the calibration. This made it slightly better, but it’s still far from accurate.

I’ve experimented with a lot of different settings, but none seem to solve the issue. With the settings shown in the screenshot below, there’s still about a 2–3 cm “dead zone” where the lock reports Locked even though it’s already been manually unlocked.

Note that i have only this problem when manually unlocking and not using the app to unlock.

Has anyone experienced the same thing or found a way to fix it?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Yale Linus L2 – “Lock has jammed / stuck” every time I unlock the door with the physical key

Yale Linus L2 smart lock: Does anyone know why I keep getting this annoying “Lock has jammed / stuck” message whenever I unlock the door with the physical key?

I’ve noticed that the lock status in the app still shows “Door open, locked” even after I’ve unlocked the door with the key.

Tapping “Try again” doesn’t help because the same error message appears again after about a second. Just to be clear, nothing is physically blocking the lock, it can be locked and unlocked manually without any resistance or obstruction.

When I test locking the door manually using the thumbturn, it locks without any issues. However, the lock still doesn’t detect that it’s actually locked. So when I tap the lock button in the app, I get the same “Lock has jammed” error.

The only solution I’ve found is to go outside, lock the door with the key, and then unlock it using the app! Recalibrating the lock also fixes the problem, but I shouldn’t have to recalibrate it every single time I use the physical key (that’s very time-consuming)
