Has anyone else been getting this error message about after it got moved to the larastan organization?

Have to admit I fixed it by creating a symlink, but that seems inelegant.

PHPStan phpstan: File '/opt/project/./vendor/nunomaduro/larastan/extension.neon' is missing or is not readable."

Meetup has been bought and the buyer has a history of predatory business model and prices on its userbase. I'm thinking of moving all @grusp PUGs (PHP user groups) from meetup to a federated application link Gancio or Mobilizon. Dear followers @phpc what's your opinion?

@heiglandreas @fullo @grusp @phpc I'm very much inclined to agree with @heiglandreas on this - having it as just one instance might foster connections better between people than having separate instances.

Alright crew, I'm looking for help:

I want to buy a smart plug that:

  • does not tell everyone in China what I am doing
  • actually does not use any cloud service
  • works nice with Home Assistant
  • measures power usage

Any suggestions?

@kenguest@phpc.social avatar

@stfn I use this one https://zigbee.blakadder.com/Heiman_HS2SK.html which can be bought from https://a.aliexpress.com/_Eyf34kV - I've two of them which work just fine.

We (@phpfig) now have a migration document outlining the differences between v2 of the Coding Standards PER and its predecessor. We hope this will help tool-smiths in supporting PER-CS v2.
Find it at https://github.com/php-fig/per-coding-style/blob/master/migration-2.0.md

We are looking to hire a software engineer (any gender) to work on the Tideways PHP Profiling Extension and its related agent. This is a remote job but you must be living in Germany.

@beberlei It saddens me that you need to say "any gender" instead of it just being accepted as implied.
I wish you success in finding the best candidate for the job - regardless of gender, faith, skin color and/or whether they prefer Star Wars over Star Trek!

I'm curious what @doctorow and the EFF think about how Mazda's lawyers are using the in this instance. I'm not an American, but this feels like they're over reaching in hopes of bullying a small, open source integration out of existence.

Alright, it has been almost a month since @homeassistant launched their updated logo.

Which side are you on? The old one or the new one? Would love to hear why you picked one over the other in a response ๐Ÿ˜€

kenguest, (edited )
@kenguest@phpc.social avatar

@frenck @homeassistant I prefer the older one, the inner part of the design is reminiscent of a pcb, and the outer is clearly the outline of a house.
The outline of the new design doesn't really signify anything tbh, and the three inside strands seem half-hearted nothingness - are they turning circles at the ends of three connected cul-de-sacs?
Context is everything! ๐Ÿ™‚

When coding with Laravel, do you see/code blade.php files that only contain php functions?

kenguest, (edited ) to random
@kenguest@phpc.social avatar

When you code php which of these do you start with?

Asking for a friend! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

kenguest,
@kenguest@phpc.social avatar

@webcodingcafe me neither - apart from very very recently, and was wondering if it was due to personal idiosyncrasy or an ide setting I'd not come across.
I've a feeling it's the former! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ™„

@dgoosens Indeed. ๐Ÿ˜Š

I created a new custom integration for that allows you to attach a note to an existing device to indicate the battery type it takes, which then shows up in the Diagnostic section of the device. This allows me to go pre-armed with the right battery when a battery is getting low, which shows up using an auto-entities list on my main dashboard.

Full details here on how to add it either via a HACS custom repository or manually

@homeassistant

kenguest,
@kenguest@phpc.social avatar

@codechimp nice! I currently maintain a list of which batteries I need for my devices in a github repo - would that be of use to you for repopulating fields/values for your project?

kenguest,
@kenguest@phpc.social avatar

@codechimp the repo is at https://github.com/kenguest/Home-Assistant-Config, I'm also thinking you may want to add a quantity field as some devices might need more than one

kenguest,
@kenguest@phpc.social avatar

@codechimp true - if you're using a free form text field that should be enough

kenguest,
@kenguest@phpc.social avatar

@codechimp oh, someone in a FB group where I shared news of your project suggested an install date for the batteries so you can see how long they last

Anyone using dokuwiki for [internal] documention and have it integrated with a bug tracker? Which bug tracker are you using if that's the case?

At $newJob we're using todoist for issue tracking, and it doesn't work well in this use-case.

I'm leaning towards MantisBT (as I used it previously when self-employed, and there seems to be some symbiosis between the dokuwiki and mantis projects) - but would be very interested to hear if anyone else is in the same boat, and what people might be using.

kenguest,
@kenguest@phpc.social avatar

@TheGingerDog we've some projects where there wouldn't be a repo, and for others support staff filing issues wouldn't know which github repo to file those tickets against so we're trying to not tie things down too tight in that regard - good point though!

baldand, to homeassistant

people, I need some advice.

I would like to replace a few old 433Mhz thermometers, and the new ones need to connect well to HomeAssistant without any cloud service involved.

I am thinking about a zigbee network. Would a sonoff usb dongle and thermometers be a good choice or not?

kenguest,
@kenguest@phpc.social avatar

I'm using zigbee Aqara sensors, @baldand, and apart from the rare occasion of one falling off the mesh they all work fine for showing how warm whichever rooms are, and can tie them in with generic thermostat cards for controlling individual storage heaters for when the weather turns cold.

Just arrived. Canโ€™t wait to test it out later. Anyone have some favorite devices that I should look into?

kenguest,
@kenguest@phpc.social avatar

@ivorybear some of my wife's favourite Home Assistant automations circle around use of Aqara door sensors and PIRs - used mostly for turning lights on/off in certain rooms when she goes into them.

nocalla, to homeassistant

Can any gurus shed some light on how best to track my washing machine status? I'm using a helper function that references the smart plug's Active Power, but there always seems to be a bit of a stutter at the end that confuses things so my notification triggers multiple times. Can I apply some sort of smoothing function to the data?

@kaiserkiwi @nocalla @homeassistant or read Phil Hawthorne's excellent blog post on the topic. https://philhawthorne.com/making-dumb-dishwashers-and-washing-machines-smart-alerts-when-the-dishes-and-clothes-are-cleaned/

darren, to homeassistant

Hey, peeps. I had a weird thing happen last night; the bedroom light randomly turned on at 12:00am.

Any ideas on how to investigate further... i.e. what triggered it?! Is there a more detailed log than the Logbook page?

kenguest,
@kenguest@phpc.social avatar

@darren something like that happened to me a while ago - I forgot I had an automation set to turn on presence simulation if Home Assistant figured I wasn't at home ๐Ÿ˜‚
