• Yes, it’s coming!
• We’ve been working on it for a while and it’s near completion, just need to finish up controller skins + fix some last bugs
• We didn’t prioritize iPad because plan was to launch in just EU with AltStore PAL (which doesn’t support iPad)
• Obviously plans changed when Apple changed their rules, so we’re prioritizing iPad now and it will come with the next major Delta update (1.6)
• It’s available now for Patrons through regular AltStore 🙂
@rileytestut What’s the plan for EU though? Since you’re distributing Delta through PAL I guess it can’t be made available in EU using it, and you can’t put it on App Store at the same time?
If you want some nice, authentic physical gamepads to go with Delta, remember that Nintendo offer Bluetooth/USB-C versions of the SNES and N64 controllers to Nintendo Online subscribers, and those are fully compatible with all of Apple's platforms.
If you're in Europe or Japan, you can also get versions with the correct button colors 😜
@bazcurtis Thanks for the great writeup!
Just a few things I wanted to mention/ask:
Can you do a code field in whatever blog engine/CMS that is? I’ve seen some of these on different sites with a „copy” button. Trying to select it and pasting causes YAML to do some strange things to formatting, and it takes a while to clean it up :/
Do in understand it correctly and the date time helper stays the same after being used? Is there a way to move it forward by one year at the end of the trigger?
Sometimes you can't help yourself. I had this #HomeAssistant card that showed the live and maximum watts of my solar panels. It didn't show the maximum for the day. It does now 😀 A bad day for testing, but it looks ok.
It is going to be handy over the years to see how it declines over time. This year two. You can see the front (east facing) has already hit the maximum this year. The back (west) will start to kick in more in the coming months.
@bazcurtis That looks great! I’m not sure it would be easy to adapt with different regulations about the cost of import/export and rules on debit in different countries (hell, it depends on when you got your PV installation mounted!). What I’d like to see is what is the power split between circuits (east/west for me) live and over time on a graph :)
@bazcurtis That looks good! I think I could adopt that (without the energy storage part, as I don’t have it), but a live pie chart of energy generation distribution (what % of power is being generated by east vs. west circuit) would be useful. I suck at coming up with nice looking dashboards, mine are mostly text based and focused only on basic functionality:/
I followed this guide. It was really easy. I just need to make the automation to renew the certificate. I have emailed the author to ask if I can reproduce it. I will of course link to it and give credit. https://mastodon.social/@bazcurtis/112164234889068804
@bazcurtis Looked at this video, and I still don’t understand what channel are they communicating over. Cause they have to see each other somehow. If they’re not on the same local network I’d imagine you’re exposing one (or both) to the internet, or connected them with VPN (i.e. Tailscale, Wireguard, OpenVPN).
@bazcurtis The guide you’ve described here seems to expose your HA to the internet. I’d take additional precautions and use multi factor authentication for accounts on that instance, and clodflared (which can block some unwanted traffic) instead of just SSL port exposed to the internet.
@bazcurtis This guide seems like it does just that. Can you try connecting to your HA address (the one set for Dynamic DNS) using cellular on your phone?
@bazcurtis Man, it’s just an app you can install on your phone that can connect to your server. You can be away from home at some point and may need to look something up. It is a pretty secure way of doing it, so why not use it if you’ve already set it up (and already in use for other stuff)?;)
@bazcurtis Well, you’re already using it anyway - so better check if you’re ok with it :)
Another similar solution which would give you pretty much the same functionality is Tailscale.
@bazcurtis I’m running Tailscale (used OpenVPN, tinc and regular Wireguard- which Tailscale is using for the tunnel) on my routers (old apt., house, mom’s home) so I can access anything from anywhere, between these locations and individual devices connected to the same tailnet (my tailscale network) - like my iPhone or MacBook wherever I am. This does not technically open services inside of these locations to the internet.
