I enjoy this 1.5 Lora https://civitai.com/models/165876/2d-pixel-toolkit-2d it’s pretty neat!

The floor is a carpet, and the shoes is harder to tell but might be a similar situation? Velvet maybe?

The wireless Reolinks are not great. Like, nothing against the camera itself, however, the WiFi antenna must be smaller than the one in my watch. The range is truly abysmal.

Tapo ones are perfectly fine, good quality all around, but it’s important to specify that I have experience with external, solar powered Reolinks and indoor Tapo, so it’s a bit of a different category.

I’m guessing there’s a mix. The smallest version is 700 million, possibly the one used to generate the time data reported, but the largest (or not?) still runs with 8gb. If I remember correctly SD3 is supposed to have multiple versions, starting from 800 millions and going up, so this is going to be interesting.

Cool, looks simple enough. Can’t test it on my phone, but for things with the A12 and up (although ram can and will be a problem if less than 6gb) there’s https://apps.apple.com/it/app/draw-things-ai-generation/id6444050820?l=en-GB

Unless they aim for a specialized model? I don’t have insight on the matter, just a guess.

Is it? The authors all have names that (in my ignorance!) all sound Russian, and Kandinsky was a Russian painter…

I’m going to top that… I thank whatever assistant I’m talking to. After I get the answer. And they’re not listening anymore.

Real or not, it just feels wrong not to thank after I asked for something and received it.

In iOS there’s an option in the app to select a different icon, including the old design. Now, they’ve updated all the others so if you want the old design and for example the purple icon that’s a no go, but…

I like your solution, quite clever! But in my instance I actually want it to turn off once the print is over. I don’t remember the details but I think it’s set up so it will turn off after the hot end has cooled down for a few minutes, it’s controlled by a plug-in for Octoprint.

You do need to know the number, IF you want to maximize the amount of cooling via open window vs AC.

That aside I’m pretty sure this is an “agree to disagree” situation, mostly because it’s clear we have different tastes. A smart home for me has the value of letting me control everything in a single place (always on me), without going around looking for remotes that might need a new battery. Automations are good, but I want to keep control over every little detail.

So you would be fine being a guest in someone’s else house, no control over anything and just let whatever automations are in place do their thing? But all of this in your own home? Temperature is an important value to know, tells if it’s better to turn off the AC/heat and just open the windows at that time, or when it’s the better moment to open them and air the place. Same with air quality, if it gets worse with the windows open it’s better to close them, or if it’s not great inside it might be a good idea to open.

My fan has an app or a pair of buttons on top, no remote.

Right, I see your point and it makes sense. But at the same time consider this: would you still like all the smart stuff if it was completely automated and you had no access to it? It just works, and you can’t make it work a little differently if needed? And I offer an example of something that I can’t imagine how it could be automated… I have a smart fan, power and orientation is dependent on where I am and how hot I feel. Easy enough to change that with the app as needed. Remember this is something I can control but would not want to give control to other people in the house.

On top of that what about sensors? Without the app you can’t see them so for example no quick glance to check the temperature in multiple rooms and outside.

Also while the app is a bit clunky, it sure beats using that one rather than all of the Philips Hue, LIFX, Yeelight, Xiaomi, Tapo, Kasa, Daikin…

Yup, same reason why you can ask for a fox using a crocodile as a mech and get a good result. The model has the concept of all things requested and mixes them (with varying success).

The problem with buttons is that they’re expensive (relatively speaking) and ruin the advantages of having everything in a single place like the HA app.

I am not giving access to “everything” to everyone in the house: I already managed to accidentally turn off the 3D printer mid print instead of a light, shouldn’t expect others to be better than me.

Hard to imagine TP-Link not making their products in China, it is a Chinese company XD

But I do agree: usually they make top quality hardware, been my favorite for… a decade at least? I like their Tapo smart plugs and cameras, my router is TP-Link, I have a second router with a mobile connection and that’s Mercusys (another sub brand) and so on.

I’m sticking with Ubiquiti for wireless networking however.

I love Home assistant, but there’s one major thing IMO that’s missing and prevents me from really using it: user accounts. You can make accounts but they’re mostly pointless as they all have access to everything and you can’t restrict things.

Much simpler way, even if not as cool: try https://apps.apple.com/app/id6444050820 that is free and great. First download a model, if you already have one you like just use the Civitai.com link, otherwise there’s a selection of them and I’d try… Realistic Visions? The 8 bit one saves you a little space. Then use the photo icon in the bottom to import a photo, you want something with the face clearly visible. Use the eraser to get rid of everything other than the face. Now try prompting for an astronaut! Should work already but you can try adding Controls: Tile, Inpainting and Pose specifically.

Performance wise you can go at the bottom of the left side, click on the cpu looking icon and select (if it’s not selected already) Use CoreML: Yes and for the CoreML compute units go with All.

My M2 Mini takes a dozen seconds for a normal generation like that. With the Control modules and Inpainting is going to be a little slower obviously but hey, it’s a fast app.

Not going to lie, I almost gave up a few times. But I can also be stubborn… anyway since this is apparently the first confirmation it works, it’s probably be helpful if I mention that it’s a 12gb 3060. :)

My request is dumb, the UI is glitching a little but hot damn 12 iterations per second! Impressive.
