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:
- Govee app account email + password (thermometer readings require it):
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:
- iDRAC root password for both, or
- a read-only IPMI account (name + password), pasted here or into ~/.creds/idrac.env
