LocalDeck - Quick Questions Megathread

finalbilylbong - similar. Pressing 13 caused 15 to flash green, but only four or five times and then it stopped. Nothing seen with any of the other buttons.

We do have a fix!

In short, there’s enough current through the matrix to induce a little bit of fluctuation in the LED data line.
Next board rev, we’ll be adding even more spacing, but there’s also a software fix.

GraemeD Just trying to envision how this would work…
Is this for a tv mode style scene?

What does an “off” state look like to you?

Hi so my TV is controlled via a Harmony Hub as there is no other way to control SKY Stream pucs at the moment, so my /on/off state would be the Harmony state of off or the Activity name for on. Then I have a few scenes for TV mode on for lights with more lights on and a movie mode with fewer lights on and set to blue. I suppose what I could do is set a custom HA entity with a bool for when the scene is active or turned off and get the Local Deck button state to mirror that

AAllport

It’s worth noting you don’t have to use the toggle entity for the entity binding.
Eg, you could have the light watch the state of the TV and then have an automation that listens for a press event, and then triggers the scene, etc 🙂

yeah I use that for some other automatons with my LG TV’s in HA, so the TV back-lights turn on when the state of the TV changes , so could re-use that, good call

Unfortunately after 2 weeks of it being received by yourself I have heard nothing, no ETA etc.
I have requested a refund on the original order as it was faulty within 30-days

Slightly unimpressed to say the least

AAllport

Ultimately, there’s only so much we can do for such a small team - we’re sorry to disappoint.

I can see that the warehouse marked the unit as received on the 16th; we then issued the replacement order and emailed you on the 17th.
The final UK shipment is leaving today and hitting the warehouse tomorrow. It should be sent out the same day (clearing all the outstanding non-EU shipments).

I appreciate that we could have done better by providing better timelines for resolving this, and we’ll be sure to take that forward in the future!

I ordered mine about the same time and am still waiting. I’m not really in a rush, but would you be able to provide a rough timescale for delivery? 1 week? 1 month.

As I said, I’m not in a rush and happy to support the product.

Thanks

AAllport

jms Where are you based?

If you’re based in the EU, probably ~2 more weeks for outstanding orders
If you’re in the UK (or anywhere else for that matter), Monday 🙂

AAllport I’m from the UK. Thanks for the update, looking forward to receiving it in the week.

Any update on order 9508 please?

AAllport

Looks like it got stuck when we changed the power supplies (causing our fulfilment partner to panic)

I’ll take a look through any remaining UK orders today to get things moving again.
Thanks for bearing with us!

We are now closing this thread.

It served a fantastic purpose of allowing us to have a fast feedback cycle for anything that cropped up and has influenced some final design-related decisions.
But, like all good things, it must come to an end!

Any new issues/questions should be addressed as a new thread underLocalDeck andQuestions (please use both tags).
We ask that for issues, you search for an existing thread before posting a new one!

This is a final (for now) thank you to everyone who has chosen to purchase a LocalDeck, whether @Early Adopters or not!
The LocalDeck has been a massive internal lesson to us in the challenges associated with building your product, and I can’t wait to share what we have learned in the coming weeks!

Keep an eye onIncubating for the next project (once we’ve ironed out all the creases for the deck!

Many Thanks
AA
