Central Ducted Fujitsu Heat Pump: Use the Wall Thermostat Sensor instead of the Air Handler's Sensor

If you have a central ducted Fujitsu Heat Pump with a wired remote control unit (wall thermostat), you may know that the central air handler’s temperature sensor is used by default instead of the wall thermostat’s temperature sensor. If your wall thermostat doesn’t have the thermometer icon at the display’s bottom center, then your Fujitsu is probably using the air handler for temperature. You may have noticed that the wall thermostat’s scheduled temperature almost never matches the home’s actual air temperature.

Today I finally photographed one of several Orange-crowned Warblers that use our backyard as a hunting ground #OrangeCrownedWarbler #Birds #Fujifilm #SOoCA small yellow-green bird, with a short but sharp beak, perched on a wooden fence cross beam near some green Ceanothus leaves.

The resident Scrub Jay had herself a vigorous bath on this fine California day #WesternScrubJay #Fujifilm #SOoC #Birds A jay splashing in a metal birdbath with water droplets scattering around. The background is a wooden fence. A blue jay splashes in a birdbath, causing water droplets to spray around. A wooden fence serves as the background. A scrub jay splashes in a birdbath, sending droplets of water into the air against a wooden fence background.

I’m stoked that our asparagus bed, now in its third home over the last ten years, is beginning to produce enough to harvest. It’s been a long road with many years of our not caring but they persisted anyway and thus eventually regained our affection #Yarden #Gardening Young asparagus spears growing in a garden bed amidst scattered rocks, next to a wooden fence. Small green sprouts and a drip hose are visible in the background. Five stalks of fresh cut asparagus on a paper towel in a metal baking tray. They fade dark green to light purple at the bottom.

For the A330-900 Neo by X-Plane aircraft developer Toliss, I wrote a FlyWithLua script that enables Yawman Arrow controller multifunction buttons. Special to the A330-900 Neo, the Yawman's POV center click toggles the HUD #XPlane #XPlane12 #FlightSim #FlyWithLua #YawmanArrowController

My top 2024 albums per the Albums app. This is not a full dataset though as I used Tidal until they ended Plex integration & then I switched back to Apple Music but it’s reasonable! #2024TopAlbums @albumstheapp@indieapps.space A collage of album covers titled “Most Listened: 2024 Stats” showcases various albums. Featured artists include Daft Punk, The Black Keys, Coldplay, The Decemberists, Kasabian, Billie Eilish, Death Cab for Cut

2024 was an off year for travel as I didn’t once make it to a major airport. I only stopped in Medford for an overnight stop and so spent a short time at the airport watching Coulson tankers and E-175s #2024Top4AviationScores #AvGeek #Aviation #FujifilmA large DC-10 firefighting aircraft labeled “10 TANKER” is landing on a runway, with an American flag visible in the background. A large three-engine DC-10 aircraft is taxiing on a runway with mountains and trees in the background. A fenced area with a “No Trespassing” sign is visible in the foreground. A Coulson C-130 firefighting aircraft in flight, featuring a bold red and black design with the number “138” on the tail.

Today: Downy Woodpecker skillfully foraging at the Pine Creek Unit of the refuge #DownyWoodpecker #SacramentoWildlifeRefuge #Fujifilm #SOoC A Downy woodpecker is perched upside down on a branch of a tree with sparse leaves.

Snow sculptures from a very wintery Berlin in early December 2023 A snowman with three snowballs is displayed on a pedestal in front of a store. It has a stick for arms and a simple face. There’s a small signpost behind it, and a card rack is visible to the side. A store front is behind the snowman. A small snowman stands in the snow with stick arms, closed eyes made from twigs, and a leaf for a mouth. In the background, there is a large out of place rock formation. The surrounding area is snowy with trees in the distance.
