My old iPad air has been sitting unused for a couple of years and figured using it as a dedicated Plexamp station would be an ideal use. No joy, though, as when I went to install it I was notified I needed IOS 13. Doesn't look like Apple intends to make it happen.
Has anyone found any work-around/solutions? The iPad still has life...hopefully.
2026 Pathfinder Platinum, which has been sitting in my garage for two weeks while I'm out of state. I pulled up the MyNissan app and it reports the vehicle being on the road in town 8 miles from my home. Security cam in the garage shows the car is, indeed, home.
For fun I tried to toggle the lights, and locks and the app just spins. So it appears the app cannot be trusted to provide accurate information about the car, and I certainly wouldn't trust doing anything like a remote start.
Has anyone actually found a useful purpose for this app?

If I select an Album Genres of, for instance, Pop & Rock, then select the randomize button on the top, I get a random selection of about 4 or 5 albums, as if the other 70 albums don't exist.
What am I doing wrong?
We bought our Platinum a few months ago and it took me a while to realize the lack of lighting listed in the title. Seriously? When I contacted the sales guy he said this is an option.
Honestly, a top of the line model should have this basic lighting...shouldn't it? Our 2011 Dodge Journey, which this car replaced, had all of this. I really hate getting into the vehicle that looks like a black hole.
The sales guy said the add-on option can be done for about $1,000. I'm considering doing this and wonder what other Platinum owners have experienced regarding this deficiency.
I've had this for a few months now. It is a pan/tilt with motion tracking. The resident Reolink software does the tracking and recording to the internal SD card, but BI v5 will not. I have half a dozen other POE cams that are triggered and record fine. The Reolink is configures similarly. I figure I'm either missing something basic, or the Reolink somehow over-rides BI?
There must be a simple solution, but the default color and contrast on the Projectivy settings menu is nearly impossible for my old eyes to tell which selection is highlighted. How can I change this?
I've enable Developer Options, but I can't find a specific setting to allow installation of third party apps. When using Downloader, I get a message "Error: Forbidden"
I'm missing something, obviously.

I woke up and sat on the edge of the bed, looking out east/northeast over Port Susan Bay toward the North Cascade range. This light was just sitting out there and I couldn't wrap my still-sleepy mind around what I was looking at. Wife was still sleeping so I went into the living room and the thing was still there. I watched it for 2 or 3 minutes, just hanging there in the sky. I'm waiting for it to do something and I'm totally perplexed the whole time. I grabbed my phone and took this crappy photo, which shows up as bright white, but in reality as more of an orange-ish/red-ish slow-pulsing glow. I leaned over the table to get the binoculars and when I straightened back up it was gone. Poof. Elapsed time was about 5 minutes.
I hoping someone might have some experience utilizing these speakers. I have two of them and they have a very rich sound. I've just installed a headless Plexamp endpoint on a Pi 3 B+ with Innomaker DAC hat. The speakers don't have any aux inputs and have wifi/dlna/bluetooth, which I've had no luck...probably due to my ignorance of how to implement these options.
Just looking for some ideas.
Found this rock while walking the beach on Camano Island. It's surprisingly heavy and about 7" across. The round coin-like object is a magnet. It'll stick to the rock anywhere on its surface. What is it? Slag? Volcanic ejecta? Meteorite?
I've had a pair of Samsung WAM1500 R1 wireless speakers for about 10 years. They sound great, when you can get them to work. They only work with the Samsung app, which is garbage and now abandoned.
I have a dedicated Plex server, running on Windows 11 pro with Plexamp loaded alongside.
I want to somehow...easily, get from the Plexamp to a pair of decent speakers. I don't want to break the bank, either :)
What are people using to actually listen to their music?
New to HA. My dashboard has a section titled "Summaries" and within that a card titled "Security".
Somehow, all my Yolink water sensors are grouped under "Security" and I have no idea how or why they got there. I have an "Area" card titled "Water & Leak" that I have placed my leak sensors under, which I thought would have moved them out of the Security card?
I'm just not finding any way to edit what appears, or doesn't appear, in that Security Summary card.
I've been working on troubleshooting why my remote DDNS port forwarding scheme refused to work. I've been using the ip address assigned to the HA hub's ethernet adapter via port forward of 8123. Then I discovered that HA is using the wireless wlp2s0 adapter with an entirely different IP address.
Is wireless the defacto primary connection for reasons not obvious to me?
Sorry if I'm not explaining this correctly. I'm only about 4 days into losing my HA virginity.
I have HA OS running natively on a headless repurposed N5095 mini-pc. My 8 year old Smartthings system hosts a mix of about 50 various Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wifi, and Matter devices. Everything seems to have populated beautifully into HA. My Eero Wifi 6 mesh seems to be acting as Thread routers and I've ordered the ZWA-2 and ZBT-2.
In the meantime, I'm familiarizing myself with the HA environment as much as I can. There are a lot of discussions about migrating devices natively into HA but I'm almost getting more confused in the process.
For instance: for Z-wave, must I actually exclude each device from Smart things and then delete the instance of that device from HA before actually pairing it with HA, or are those devices already actually paired with HA?
I have many other questions, but I'll start here and keep it simple.
I have a half dozen of these paired with Smarthings. I'm starting migrated everything over to HA and have been unable to pair these plugs directly to HA.
Has anyone had any success with these?
New 2026 Pathfinder Platinum. Have been familiarizing myself with all the bells and whistles and have discovered there doesn't seem to be any floor/under dash lighting, and no under-door exterior lighting. Is there a control function that I'm missing?
I've been playing around with using an unused computer as an OBS server, uplinking a Blue Iris stream to EarthCam. Said computer is indicated in yellow on the bottom status bar. Why, and what does it mean?
I'm having zero success. I have presets working within the camera's web UI, but nothing with Blue Iris. I'm wondering it there is a setting I'm missing?
I've never had a leather interior and could use some tips on what to use and best practices. The car is kept in the garage so will need an occasional quick wipe down to get the dust off.
