Not that I have found. From what I have read earlier versions of Android had something like that but apparently it isn't there in recent versions. I only found others complaining about the same issue. Seems crazy there isn't a setting that would fix it. When I google it I get many places...

Samsung A32. When I am leaving and about half a block from my house my phone is unusable until I manually turn off wifi. Seems like it should switch automatically as the cell signal is good here but I have found numerous other complaints about this. Apparently there used to be a setting that...

I vacuumed out the detectors thinking that might help. So far so good but it took a couple months for a problem to pop up again so I am thinking I may see it again. It would be fairly simple to replace the caps so I may do that. I had a quick look and didn't see any leaking or bulging but...

Had this happen again and think it was the fire zone trouble. At first I thought it was more serious trouble and system didn't disarm but saw the fire icon flashing on keypad and the keypads kept beeping (it would stop briefly when punching keys). It was early and I think I tried the fire zone...

Happy New Year!

Went to transfer some large Raspberry pi sd card image files to a new pc and ran into a file too large message even though the USB stick had plenty of room. After some fiddling I figured out the problem was the file size limit for the FAT32 format of the USB stick. Even the 128 GB stick is...

Interesting. Not sure what my name and password would be there... Do I just register and then somehow link it to my existing account?

Have had several alarm events (false alarms) in the last few months and have not been impressed with Alarm relay on those. They were very helpful when my system went nuts and got everything working properly again. But they didn't keep the contact list/passwords straight when putting friends on...

After powering down the panel for several days, powering it back up, and some other fiddling it went back to operating normally. It's been running ok for a little over a month and it seems to be working fine. Hopefully it continues that way. It looks like I could back up the configuration...

I have a 20 year old alarm system that has given me a few issues lately and thinking it might be time for a replacement. Several days ago I had trouble arming it but finally was able to. This morning I had trouble disarming it - the keypad beeped with each keypress but didn't change the...

Have the panel in the house and added a run to a detached garage with a NX216 expander and keypad for that building on a separate partition. It is working but sometimes I get a fire zone trouble fault with beeping and the fire LED flashing when I disarm. I can clear it and it's good for a...

Helping a friend with a hot water circulation pump. They had a system that circulated water based on a timer but even that wasted a lot of energy keeping the pipes hot when not in use. Converting to a system with wireless push buttons in three locations that would trigger the pump to run for...

I figured it out - sort of. Took a shortcut of using the key file I used on another device and that worked fine. Will leave the deeper dive for another day...

Have had a VPN running on my pfsense router for several years using Oracle free cloud server and OpenVPN. Got it running and haven't fooled with it since. Now wanting to generate a key file for another device and it seems my IPs for login don't work - browser gets no response at that address...

My comments were based on what I read here (which seems like it should have some authority): https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/vlan/security.html Doing what you say would be handy. I got the bigger switch because I had several smaller switches. Using the 16 port switch for a couple...
