Android apps

Nice I heard about this years ago, but never give it a try.

Why would you need two acoimts btw, for simplicity. As couldnt you  name the bulps mum longe1, mum hall 1 and so on, then simply set home screen short cut widgets to each, and drop the widget in a folder called mums lights , and one called simply lights for you?

Unless you don’t want your mum to have access to your lights  from her end. It would make sense to have separate accounts.

I received my second yeebulb (wi-fi ) this morning. Not opened it yet. Getting expensive !

Dave your so 1999 .  B-)

This all started as I’ve boarded out my loft, and didn’t want to run a stitch down in to the already decorated landing, it would mean channeling out the wall, and a re decoration.

So I’m going to tap straight into the ring with the landing lights or may be bathroom . (Yet to be decided ) , stock a switch in line simply as an isolater and have a wifi bulb.

I was testing the bulb in bed the wife seen it, she couldn’t miss it give she was lay next to me, and decided she loved it. As you can select sunrise mode for morning, with is excellent, starts red/orange and dim and over 20 mins gets to a normal colour, also we now have a night toggle that doesnt blind you, or wake the other up, as Nell as being able to togvle on off white light I’m normal mode.

The lounge is going to get them next, as the wife likes ice white light for reading, so our lounge has them, though they sent the most relaxing bulbs even on a dimmer, so with the yeebulb we can had a reading toggle, a normal toggle and a TV toggle, and a disco toggle for the kids that reacts to music. Trouble is we will need a new with set up.

Regarding the bathroom, I want to keep the normal switch and bulbs, bit also want to have a second switch, (line a landing switch set up), bit have the second switch a wi-fi relay. This is because I have a young daughter that leave the light on most nights ! And now older kids, that are of drinking age and also leave the light on when had a drink. Wouldn’t be an issue but the bathroom is next to our bedroom and the two exhaust fans wake me and the wife up, and we have to then go and turn it off. So a wi-fi switch would be great, and it can easily be done with a pi server, and a relay penalty atached an audino or another pi , maybe  pi zero.

This just came up in the thread discussing spam calls so I thought I’d mention it here, as it’s a must have application if you get un solicited calls. If you have a cyanogen os phone or are running CM, you already have it baked in.

True caller it like a spam filter for calls. There is a whole ecosystem you can get into, but I don’t bother, I just stick with the basics.

With my number being somewhere between 15 and 20 years old now, I think it’s on every list going so this app blocks at least ten calls a day for me.

Edit- I just noticed it has over 4.5million downloads and a 4.5 star rating. So its not just me thst likes it. That’s some dam good feedback.
