• How to capture new tickets instantly on Ticketswap?

  One could use one of the many phone automation tools to program a little script that automatically clicks the Ticketswap popup and then goes through the rest of the menus until it's in your shopping cart. Source: 11 months ago

• Auto Reboot config

  In the past, I used https://llamalab.com/automate/ and it was simple to use. Back then, I had to reboot my phone at least once a day for it to work properly and Automate helped a bunch. Source: about 1 year ago

• IPhone 15 might be a worthy successor to S10

  Zero customizability. I like to bind actions to volume buttons, scripts and programs to make my life easier (super-bright flashlight, call recording, automation). On iPhones you can... Change the wallpaper. Source: about 1 year ago

• Is there a way to signal to the driver their car has been turned on?

  You're gonna have to get something like a bouncie bouncie.com/device $77 to buy, $8 /mo for LTE, for notification that car has been turned on. I actually don't have a bouncie, since I have a DIY system: To watch live stream of the inside of my car, I mounted on my dash, an old galaxy s4 with Alfred security camera app alfred.camera/ , the video showing the inside of my car. It’s also set to record if detecting a... Source: about 1 year ago

• Alternative like Tasker?

  Automate from Llamalab might do it for you. https://llamalab.com/automate/ I use it quite extensively and it is free on a limited basis.

  Yes, there's Home Assistant that can work completely off-line. You can find multitude tutorials on youtube on how to set it up, even using cheap solutions like Raspberry PI. Source: 11 months ago

• Turned my old 10-year-old android tablet into a wall clock/weather station

  I'm going to suggest- you ever heard of Home Assistant? It's a really useful home automation tool you could integrate with weather and clock on a dashboard. As well, you could use it to control smart devices. Source: 12 months ago

• has anyone done the big move from Spotify or other to Plex?

  As for the "what is playing" detection on my google minis. This is done with "https://home-assistant.io/". Source: about 1 year ago

• looking for a decently cheap zigbee hube

  The method that seems to work most reliability with all devices and all ecosystems is a Zigbee2MQTT software hub running on a computer alongside Home Assistant. The Z2M project has a list of compatible USB dongles which are typically around $20-30 (The Sonoff being a good one) but you still need a server (i.e. a small computer like a thin client or raspberry pi) and install and configure the software, so this...
