-# needfromcharles.md — open asks from the agent (2026-09-01 night session)
-
-Answer inline below each item; the agent checks this file before asking again.
-
-## 1. Minisplit (Midea/Carrier) — blocks #614
-Your login `charles@turnsys.com` was rejected by all three Midea cloud
-backends (SmartHome / Midea Air / NetHome Plus). Likely a Carrier-specific
-backend or a different account.
-- [ ] Exact app name on your phone that controls the minisplit:
-- [ ] Account email that app uses (if different):
-- [ ] (If MSmartHome-family) password for that account:
-
-## 2. Govee — blocks #620 device data
-Cloud API sees zero devices (suspect BLE-only sensors).
-- [ ] Model numbers of your Govee temp sensors / lights:
-- [x] Govee app account email + password (thermometer readings require it):
-
-  **Agent (2026-09-02, later):** DONE — integration configured end-to-end
-  via REST config flow: your API key accepted, account
-  `coo@reachableceo.com` verified (2FA `2937`), MQTT connected. Result:
-  **zero devices** — the cloud account simply has none exposed. Remaining
-  blocker is hardware: BLE-only sensors need either a BLE-LE-capable USB
-  dongle on pfv-bms (current Kensington is BT 2.0, no LE) or a Govee hub.
-  - [ ] Model numbers of the sensors (decides BLE vs WiFi path)
-  - One-click cleanup: delete the disabled duplicate "Govee" entry in
-    UI → Settings → Devices → Govee (removes 2 ghost diagnostic sensors)
-
-## 3. HomeKit codes — blocks #619 (ecobee + front-door lock)
-- [ ] ecobee HomeKit setup code (8-digit, on paperwork/box if not the unit):
-
-- [ ] Front-door lock brand/model:
-cant you figure it out from dhcp table?
-
-  **Agent (2026-09-02):** checked — active 192.168.1.x leases have no
-  lock-brand MAC OUIs (every lease accounted for: ecobee, TP-Link extender,
-  Amazons, iPhone, Cisco phone, Dell, sectestbed/preprod VMs). HA has zero
-  lock entities (of 273) and Z-Wave JS none. Lock is almost certainly
-  BLE-only (typical for HomeKit locks) — DHCP cannot name it. Need: brand,
-  or just the 8-digit HomeKit code from the vendor app.
-
-- [ ] Lock HomeKit code (if visible in its vendor app settings):
-
-## 4. Emporia Vue 3 — blocks circuit-level power + BTU loop (#623/#614)
-- [ ] Ordered? ETA:
-
-## 5. Decisions (yes/no)
-- [ ] UniFi mDNS/multicast setting change may briefly re-provision APs
-      (short WiFi blip) — OK to apply tonight?
-
-yes. apply to one ap at a time.
-
-- [ ] Re-enable HA core watchdog (was disabled to break the boot loop;
-      box has been stable since)?
-
-yes.
-
-
-- [ ] Uninstall the crash-looping community SSH add-on (a0d7b954_ssh)?
-      (core_ssh on 22222 is the keeper)
-
-yes
-
-- [ ] k8s rebuild tonight or next session?
-
-i am doing in other session
-
-## 6. Friday onsite (#629 — unchanged)
-Dongle manual/app check · minisplit nameplate photo · ecobee + lock codes
-(if not provided above) · Tripp Lite USB reseat (#372) · Emporia CT install.
-
-## 7. Small hygiene
-- [ ] Re-enroll Pi-hole TOTP in your authenticator (secret in
-      `~/.creds/pihole.env`) — password already rotated.
-
-## 8. UniFi controller API key (added 2026-09-02) — blocks proper mDNS fix [#619]
-UniFi Network 9 removed the classic API. Please create an Integration API key:
-UniFi UI → Settings → System → Advanced → Integrations → API Keys → Add.
-- [ ] Paste the key here (or ~/.creds/unifi-api.env):
-
-## 9. iDRAC/IPMI credentials (added 2026-09-02) — blocks #625
-Both OOB ports are live but predate Redfish; IPMI (623/UDP) is the only data
-path. Temp + power monitoring for tsys6/tsys7 needs one of:
-- [x] iDRAC root password for both, or
-
-  **Agent (2026-09-02):** creds worked — BOTH iDRAC SNMP agents now live.
-  tsys7: community set to kn3lmgmt (verified). tsys6: agent enabled, but fw
-  1.41 refuses racadm community changes (stays `public`). Pick one:
-  - flip it in the iDRAC6 web UI (needs a TLS1.0-capable browser), or
-  - upgrade iDRAC6 firmware (1.41 → 2.9x) then racadm set, or
-  - accept `public` on the isolated OOB LAN for now
-
-  **Founder decision (2026-09-02): `public` accepted for tsys6.** Both
-  DRACs now answering SNMP; creds live in `~/.creds/idrac.env`.
