  • OP here. I called ecobee and got great answers immediately from them. Their customer support is really good.

    They said the both the Taco and Honeywell zone controllers work well but recommended the homeywell because of how its transformer is set up. Makes wiring easier.

    I can have one thermostat location and have it respond to sensors setup in appropriate locations in the rooms that need it. It can also run the fan via air quality monitor (VOC) although I may end up doing this via home assistant via a dedicated co2 sensor.





  • Awesome thanks for the advice. Id seen conflicting info on zwave vs zigbee for switches. One of the main things was wifi interference, but i live in a remote place and dont have a ton of wifi devices or outside interference. Also ill most likely be running a ubiquiti ap cause i use ubiquiti at work and am comfortable with it. Should be super solid.






  • Michael Luttig (via The Guardian)- “The former president is disqualified from holding the presidency again because he engaged in an insurrection or rebellion against the constitution of the United States when he attempted to remain in power, notwithstanding that the American people had voted to confer the power of the presidency upon Joe Biden.

    “That constituted a rebellion against the executive vesting clause of the constitution, which limits the term of the president to four years unless he is re-elected by the American people. I cannot even begin to tell you how that is literally the most important two sentences in America today.”

    Luttig draws a fine but important legal distinction between a rebellion against the constitution, as described by the 14th amendment section 3, and rebellion against the United States. He claims that groups that filed lawsuits in Colorado and elsewhere to bar Trump from the ballot are confused on this issue.

    “They do not yet understand what disqualifies the former president, namely an insurrection or rebellion against the constitution. They have argued the cases as if he is disqualified because he engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the United States.

    “That’s why they have, unfortunately, focused their efforts on establishing or not that the former president was responsible for the riot on the Capitol. The riot on the Capitol is incidental to the question of whether he engaged in a rebellion against the constitution.”

    But he adds: “All of these cases – and there’ll be others in the states – is the constitutional process by which the American people decide whether the former president is disqualified from the presidency in 2024. All of these cases are going to roll up to the supreme court of the United States and it will be decided by the supreme court whether Donald Trump is disqualified.”











  • Sure. I like having an immediate visual confirmation of each monitors frequency response. Theres a lot of situations where it helps me.

    Throw and go at a festival or if I have an opener that only ends up line checking. I definitely dont have the luxury of ringing and walking around with my iPad at every show.

    Monitor world isnt always in ideal situations. At this position I had a stack of KS28’s right below me and two arrays of K2 and Kara hanging over my head that were reflecting off concrete.

    Sometimes I’ll have a Leslie cab or guitar cab that are shooting straight back at my position. Loud bands with tons of stage volume.

    FOH sound can interact differently with the stage during the performance. Maybe FOH is pushing more bass and I have a bluegrass band with a standup.

    Maybe the band is playing and singing louder during the actual performance. Maybe the players or singers dont have enough experience and once the show starts they are asking me to push an acoustic or their vocals more and more.

    Maybe FOH says something vague like “the vocals are a little hot in like a midrange-y spot.”

    In any of these situations I have an immediate and freq specific response to the situation and can get things stable faster without any guess work. I can dial in freq and q super accurately. I dunno. I like it. You can also just set it up on the cue which is nice too.
