Manual For Phone
Leonides Suttle
Maybe you want to get to know your phone or tablet a little better. You can also find your device's user manual on the web. Select your device model from the following list, and then select your carrier. This step helps to provide you with the most accurate and relevant information.
I strongly believe that having a manual mode for creating routes within the Strava app would be a valuable addition. Personally, I rarely use the web browser version of Strava, so having this feature within the app would greatly enhance the user experience.
As pointed out by another user, OpenStreetMap occasionally contains inaccuracies, leading to routing errors that force us to take long detours.
Moreover, there are situations where the Strava heat map prominently suggests the existence of a path on the ground, even though it hasn't been officially documented on OSM.
Introducing a manual routing option would allow us to bypass these issues and at the same time provide users with the freedom to design routes in less frequented areas too.
I just purchased a VTech DS667V-2G with four additional handsets. Only the base station handset registered, all the others continually failed. I finally fixed this by placing each handset on the base station in turn, once on the base station they automatically registered. I then put them in their chargers around the house and they continue to work. It is unclear why this works but not on their own charging stands, but anyone experiencing this issue should try this before calling for tech support, the response on VTech's site is not helpful.
3. Reinsert battery into a phone, and insert phone into main base. After 10-60 seconds, phone should display that it has registered, and date and time needs to be updated. Repeat process for other two phones.
pgrobin's suggestion worked like a charm for me!!! Literally was ready to give up after trying all the suggestions by V-Tech. Finally did some more research and saw this suggestion. And it worked have been without my second handset for about 2-3 years now. Finally!!! I put it on the home base. Didn't work immediately. I left it alone and did some work around the house and checked back about 30 minutes later. Wow such a simple fix. And yet the mfg. doesn't even have this on their site or in the instructions/manual. Thank you PGrobin!!!!
I use manual setting circle and digital inclinometer with my dobsonian and look up the coordinates of objects in SkySafari and it works very well. Pretty much always lands within the FOV with my 16mm and 30mm eyepieces (so 1-1.8 dgrees FOV).
First post here for several years! That sounds v interesting - so does the app help you to point the scope? - if so what a clever idea. I have had my skywatcher heritage 150mm dobsonian for just a couple of weeks and it can take time to find very feint objects. eg last night with the moon up and light pollution it was taking me ages to find the beehive cluster. I could see it instantly in my binoculars but I couldn't see it with my naked eye so the red dot finder was no good I could find it eventually but more by luck than judgement. At times like that an app like this could be great - (It could also save me a cricked neck when trying to point at things high up in the sky).
Would that work on an iPhone? Or just Android? And are there any Android apps that do the same thing, ie attach phone to side of scope, align to known visible star, save position, choose mew target and phone's position sensors tell the phone when it (and there scope as well) are pointing at same target?
Thank you. After your recommendation I bought the pro version for my iphone. And it is brilliant. Yes I like star hopping but my skies are not v dark. So for eg the beehive cluster is not visible to the naked eye when I am out around 11pm. I can find it instantly in binoculars but it can take forever with my 6" dobsonian. With align pro it is a piece of cake - First sync to Pollux then it directs me straight to the cluster. Wonderful. Same for the Hercules globular cluster. I've had no luck finding that directly with my scope. But with Align pro I sync on Vega then once again it takes me straight to the cluster using a 15mm ep. Amazing. So far I've not been able to find the whirlpool galaxy using it. I have only had the scope our 6 or so times so Im new to this. The whirlpool is directly overhead align pro seems to struggle with that (as does my neck using the red dot finder!). Perhaps my scope is not big enough?
I could not find astrohopper on playstore but there is a program called Skeye. The desription sounds as if it is trying to do the same thing as ps align pro. But did you say you have just bought a goto? In which case you would not need this app?
Indeed, I looked into the astrohopper when deliberating over what first telescope to get and got a goto in the end, as that could help ne find things and track them once found.. Seems to only be web based not app but sounded like a clever idea potentially.
Thank you, Spotted both last night. Once again a big thumbs up to PS Align pro. Some years back I bought an expensive scope on a motorised mount with Goto. Its was heavy and took ages to set up (polar alignment, electrics, camera, laptop etc). Yes it worked but because it was such hard work I gave up using it and eventually sold it. Because of my reliance on its goto system I did not learn much about the night sky. My 150mm dobsonian with this $2.99 app is so much more fun and easy to use. Of course the complex kit has major advantages and is essential for many aspects of astronomy, however with temperamental UK skies something that's quick to set up and use also has its advantages.
Hi folks, If you have an iphone you should look into using FinderCam . Plate solving is used to find the object. It requires mounting your phone on the scope. And now the developer has added use of the StarSense mount with mirror. I have been helping him with his English. It is now free on the app store. I have done a YT on it.
I have never seen in iOS app can manually input lat and lon either.
I set my my wisblock Device GPS to Not Present and use Fixed Position.
It will use your phone position after you click save.
Then I use Terminal on mac to set lat and lon manually using python CLI
I know that home assistant can track both mine and my partners phones. I want it to be able to arm the alarm if both our phones are outside the radius of the home location and to disarm when atleast one device is home.
From my reading I understand I need to group the two phones and then set a state for the group either in(if atleast one device is home) or out(if both devices are gone). then get that to trigger the activation of the alarm. is there anyone out here who could help me with this. I am going a little insane reading through so many posts for the last week and a half. here is what I have in my configuration.yaml thus far.
Hi! Welcome to the forum. You should give this a quick read when you get a minute. Specifically, formatting your code properly makes it much easier for people to help you. (Select any code in your message and click this button/).
As for your question, first thing to consider is are you sure you want your alarm to automatically disarm when a phone enters a zone without any other user intervention? That will mean that if you happen to drop your phone on the sidewalk or somebody who knows how it works gets their hands on your phone they can easily bypass your alarm system. Just make sure you understand that.
So there are several ways to skin this cat. I personally think the easiest would be to create a template sensor that evaluates to true when a phone is home and false when none are. This is a very simple example of such a sensor.
I do understand the risk, the house is currently monitored via CCTV and 2 pitbulls so I guess if someone really wants to get in then yeah they got to risk it. I just want to simplify when I forget to arm that it will actually do it for me. Ill give this a try and see.
