Read moreHubitat just released what looks to be a solid upgrade from the previous (C-7) version of the Elevation home automation controller. Key changes are the Zigbee radio update (which should enable Matter/Thread compatibility later this year), inclusion of Wi-Fi (no word on what standard), and external antennas. External antennas might be the biggest improvement, at least IMO. Hopefully, it will […]

Read moreBut that doesn’t mean I’m not still interested. It’s more that not much that I’ve found interesting has happened in the last few years. Sure everything is getting faster, but at least in the PC space, the slow incremental march forward has no practical impact on my usage because a five year old CPU is way more compute than I […]
Read moreOK… I guess it takes seven seats, or is it all-wheel drive (AWD), to make an SUV? But why does AWD matter for the ID.4, but not the Model Y, or Mach-E? This matters because not-SUVs price out at $55,000 where SUVs are good to $80,000. There doesn’t seem to be a consistent theme in the IRS’s guidance around what […]

Read moreI didn’t want to call it too early, but after applying the December update on my Pixel 7 Pro on Monday, all the Bluetooth issues I was experiencing seem to have gone away. Now some of them were intermittent, or took a long while to show up, but one consistently just didn’t work.
Read moreI know I said I wouldn’t do it, but I ended up breaking down and buying a OBD II BTLE dongle to use with ABRP; actually bought a second one a couple weeks ago to troubleshoot a problem with Android 13. And for the most part, it’s been working great to provide consumption and state-of-charge (SoC) data to the app […]
Read moreI found this post on the Mach-E forum, but it applies to every other electric vehicle (EV), including Tesla if you’re using a J-1772 EVSE (aka Charger) with an adapter. I’ve experienced this one myself, both with our Mach-E and the EV6 at public L2 charging stations. I’ve never dug into the problem, but I suspected it had to do […]
