I have been on the hunt for what exact shortcut the controller hides from us. But there is a steam menu (controllers, advance, show more, at the button) that shows them!

Quickly want to change your volume? Try steam key + left joystick!

Sadly you can not change anything here, altought the menu shows you you can, nothing will be saved after you leave a menu. (I'm not a fan to put the left mouse button on the right button)

A few of them I manually found before written out, also for the people without images:

hold A + R1 + Steam
To use Puck wireless mode right

hold A + L1 + Steam
Start Puck wireless mode left

hold B + R1 + Steam Start Bluetooth mode

When on (solid white)

Steam+Y Turn off quickly

Hol steam (10s) Turn off

Steam + left joystick up/down Change volume level

R4 + R5 + L4 + L5 + Steam Backpack mode (ignore buttons until this combo is used again or USB)

Steam + Right trackpad/joystick Mouse movement

Steam + X On screen keyboard

Steam + R1 Take screenshot

Steam + Menu ALT+TAB

Steam + D-pad right Enter key

Was working on the shed, and the Hammer head gave way. I found the store where I originally bough it and bought a new handle. Modified it to fit and put it on. Now the hammer can do its job again

The hood above the hob had fallen off. The plugs stripped the wall. Made the holes bigger and used better plugs. Also put in some construction glue into the holes for good measure.

As many of you probably know, Google does not allow you to change the buttons of their chromecast remote. We don't use Netflix at all, but we use Jellyfin. I just though of it and tested it, but Home assistant allows you to track the chromecast and functionality replace one app with another. Making the button now open the jellyfin app

alias: Replace google chromecast nexflix with whoflix

I keep having my home assistant freese when I try and activate HAV, been debugging it but didn't found anything yet to solve it.

Buttttt...

What I did find is an easter egg in the source code. It's "HA" in morse code. If you put that into the main button on the device it activates something :)

I've already added a LED strip below the kitchen to give some ambient and status lighting (ESP32 with WS2812B). And I also already had a power plug that measured the power (Athom smart plug V2). I've now also a simple door sensor (aqara zigbee). I drilled a hole in the neighbourinf cabinet and embedded some magnet, and placed the door sensor on the dishwasher door. Our dishwasher has the feature to auto open the door when it's done to air dry it.

This all I now have put into a automation to calculate when the dishwasher is; Planned, Running, Finisched, and now emthied too!

No more asking if the dishwasher is going to run tonight, or if its clean. It will tell you with the LED strip!

The tip of my bed probe bltouch broke (new one underway, but the print must go) I glued on some filament. And it seems to just work fine again!

It took some time but we have finally found an fast and efficient way to dispense any fluid.

This also includes any surface tension like water/alcohol. It will also keep any carbonation. And it can handle plastic and glasses bottles with an wide arrangement of opening diameyer. And it's all done food safe!

This is part of a cocktail mixer we have been designing for the fast few years. If you are really intrested you can findt it on Github.
