Trying to figure how or find a DTH for a virtual button that I can tie into a Go Control garage door opener. The classic ST app has a virtual switch. But that doesn't seem to work well for something like a garage door that only requires a momentary pulse to open/close. I know its possible, since I had done it at my previous home based on a old youtube video. But that video is no longer out there.

Can anyone point me to a DTH or instructions on how to set up a virtual button that I can tie into something like a garage door zwave device? thanks.

I got 3 x 27 Acer monitors with the thin bezels. Been thinking about adding some color to my setup. Either painting them or vinyl wrapping. I prefer the latter. Since painting them is going to require disassembling the plastic housing. Has anyone here done such a thing . Pros/cons/bad idea or any resources to get some ideas on the best way to go about wrapping them?

I'm a 46 year dude , married and have couple of pre-teen kids. For the most part, I have everything that a person could want. At least from a materialistic sense. A Nice home,comfortable life, decent income and no immediate financial concern. But that's about it. My wife and I don't really connect the way I thought I would be able to connect to another person after 13 years of marriage. I try to spend time with my kids as much as possible. But as they get older, it seems like they rather do their own thing and rarely show any interest in what I do with them or for them. My career is pretty much at a dead end and I'm having a hell of a time looking over the horizon at my future prospects.

Some backstory first - I successfully completed the interview process couple days ago and the IO recommended me for approval. Came home that night and received an email from USCIS that my oath ceremony has been scheduled. Next morning there was a new attachment indicating a notice to appear for a naturalization oath ceremony next month.

​

After completing the interview, the IO had informed me that because of the name change, I'll have to appear for a judicial oath. From everything I've read, a judge has to approve the name change as well. So not sure why a oath ceremony was scheduled. The notice attached to my account still shows my current name and the time/location of the ce

Naturalization Interview next week. Trying to put together everything I'm going to take with me. My application was based on 5 year rule (Although I've been here for 20 yrs as an LPR).

​

I know I'm suppose to take my current passport, Greencard, drivers license. So I got that covered.

​

Here is what have on my checklist so far.

​

1. Green Card.
2. Current Passport. (and couple other expired passports)
3. Drivers license
4. Some traffic ticket/court case disposition from 1995/1996 and paid receipt for another ticket in 2014
5. Marriage Certificate
6. Children's birth certificate.
7. Previous marriage desolation dissolution/court document.
8. Copy of

I have a non-conditional 10-year GC and the card is expiring June,2019. I filed for naturalization earlier this year. But given the current backlog , not sure if I'll get my interview before my GC expires or if naturalization is denied for some odd reason. Plus, I live in a southern state where the DMV ties the drivers license expiration with the GC expiration date for non-citizens. Therefore I'm concerned that my GC will expire and I won't be able to renew my drivers license. I was thinking of starting the I90 process right now to renew the GC, since it now takes almost a year to receive a replacement card. But looking at various forums online, it seems that the most common advice i

Trying to find an app that will let me change the color of the notification around the edges of the screen when the phone is face down. Right now, it seems to be a bluish/violet color. Something similar to light flow that lets me set app specific colors.

Just ordered a ST hub and will be receiving it in the next couple of days. But I have a question before I dive into the world of zwave and ST. If my internet connection is down - how much local processing can the ST do ? Can I control things like zwave based switches, dimmers and lights without cloud connectivity? I understand that I would not receive any status updates or notifications, since the messages are routed to their cloud service and then back down my mobile device.

A co-worker suggested I use ST for things that I need to control from outside the house. To control things like thermostat, garage door opener status/open/close. But use Home Assistant with a Aeon stick for local

Bought my son an EV3 set for xmas. I know that lego recommends the Netgear WNA1100 adapter. But I have a few assorted brands of USB Wifi adapters sitting around from other projects. Mainly Edimax adapters. Anyway I can use those with the brick? Is there a custom firmware that will support other chipsets?

Been trying for the last hour and keep getting a 502 auth failure. I've tried the usual SSL and non-SSL ports. (Including 443). No luck.
