Been tinkering here with Home Assistant Voice PE and AI. Liking it except when it starts to rant on its own. Example conversation with Google Gemini AI Using Ollama AI server running on Home Assistant box. It is a bit slower.

Yeah here have the old HD Homerun tuners. Only one is online. I would probably see a bit more with a TV direct connect. HD Homerun Android app runs great on the Sony TV. I did move the antenna yesterday using the old Android HD app on the roof. Worked well even though its an old version...

I adjusted the antenna direction using my phone / HD Homerun APP and added a 10 gauge ground wire. Signal strengths went up around 20%. Now getting 98 channels from Chicago. 2.1 CBS2-HD 503.000 MHz 2 8vsb 81% 100% 100% 5.548 Mbps [2601:243:ce81:25d5:139b:c98e:11f3:b860]...

Getting a deluge of antenna advertisements as I surf the web lately. Most of the advertisements state that the antennas are ATSC 3.0 (NextGen TV) compatible. AI Overview: ATSC 3.0, also known as NextGen TV, is a new standard for over-the-air broadcasting that offers improved picture quality...

Little project today of removing 2 three way switches. This switches are connected to floor outlets that I do not want switches anymore. Laptop is plugged into one of the outlets. Floor outlet Enerlites 3 way switches bought on Amazon Opposite to the labeled wires is the load and hot...

Giving up on the KS7012 dimmer switches because occassionally they would lock up no matter what Tasmota release was used. I removed all of them and went to using the new Martin Jerry dimmers. The only fix to the lock up was to remove power from the switch then repower the switch. Still have 4...

While the TV is running better with a Gb connection I did not like the Kodi running. Guessing that it is stressing the TV streaming 4k movies / TV from the NAS. I tried and so far unsucessful getting NFS going on it. Using Samba for access to NAS. VLC works better than KODI streaming 4K from...

I did comment on the video mentioned above: Five Star 200 mile Indoor/Outdoor Yagi HD TV Antenna Review Comment was removed.

I was able to update today with no issues. OmniLink Bridge Current version: 1.1.19.2 (Changelog)

Connected a USB 3.0 Gb Nic. TP-Link USB to Ethernet Adapter, Foldable USB 3.0 to 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet LAN Network Adapter, Support Windows 11/10/8.1/8/7/Vista/XP for Desktop Laptop Apple MacBook Linux (UE300) $9.99 on Amazon. I do not understand why Sony has not put in a Gb Ethernet...

Noticed yesterday using the old Android HDHomerun app that my signals average 60% and direction of antenna is about 30% off. I have yet to ground the antenna / lightning protect it.

Noticed that Kodi lags a bit when streaming 4k movies ~20Gb...from NAS. My Kodi TV box does better running with a Gb connection. Network port is 100Mbs such that wireless would be faster. Adding a Gb port to one of the USB 3.0 ports. Having an issue configuring NFS client on the Sony Google...

Understood and thank you @ano . Been watching Antenna Man videos. Over 50% of the antennas sold on Amazon state a 200 mile range which is false advertising. Antenna Man's been pushing Televes outdoor TV antennas which are way over priced. The Televes antennas are also sold at the big box...

Installed an OTA antenna last week. Last three homes had the antenna in the attic. I had configured the antenna with direct connections to the TV's and HDHomerun connectivity. The new Sony Bravia works with NextGen TV (ATSC 3.0). The older HDHomerun stuff I have does not work with Netgen TV...

Thank you @tigers It's automatic with HA. I disabled the auto update feature for time being.
