Hello everybody,
Florian and Alfred reminded us in Q&A106 that donations to the UBports foundation were partly tax deductible for European citizens.
I propose that a member from each country of the EU tells his fellow citizens how to get this tax reduction.
Since we will have to quote official texts and for a better comprehension, everyone will answer in his own language.
Thank you
For France :
J'ouvre donc les hostilités avec la France.
Le détail des dons aux associations de trouve sur cette page.
Voici ce qui est dit pour les dons aux organismes d'intérêt général (comme c'est le cas pour la fondation UBports) :
<< Vous avez effectué des versements sous forme de dons à des organismes d'intérêt général. Il s'agit notamment des organismes suivants :
Le cas des organismes situés dans un autre pays de l'Union Européenne est traité comme suit :
<< Vous avez effectué un don au profit d'organismes agréés dont le siège est situé dans un Etat membre de l'Union Européenne ou dans un Etat partie à l'Espace économique européen ayant conclu avec la France une convention fiscale d'assistance administrative en vue de lutter contre la fraude et l'évasion fiscales.
Vous pouvez bénéficier d'une réduction d'impôt dans les mêmes conditions que pour les dons effectués au profit d'organismes situés en France.
Portez case 7 VA de la déclaration 2042 RICI le montant des dons versés aux organismes venant en aide aux personnes en difficulté (la limite de 1 000 € est commune avec la case 7UD) et indiquez case 7 VC de la 2042 RICI celui correspondant aux versements effectués aux autres organismes d'intérêt général.
Ne joignez pas les reçus de dons à votre déclaration. Conservez-les pour les produire, le cas échéant, à la demande du service des impôts. >>
Voilà, il suffit donc de déclarer votre don comme pour les associations françaises pour bénéficier de 66% de réduction dans la limite de 20% de vos revenus imposables. Pas besoin de joindre les justificatifs mais il faut pouvoir les présenter aux services fiscaux si besoin. Mettre donc de côté :
I would like to thank @lduboeuf who took time to recompile Shine for both armhf and arm64. The source code is still on github. The app should be back on the openstore soon but you can find it on the french telegram group :
Now a small tutorial to set up Shine :
You can now see your bridge(s), your plugs and lights and use them. You can define groups, scenes or timers. I have not tested everything because I still have very few device.
As a conclusion, I would like to precise that Hue/Zigbee is a quite simple lighting system. It is not as complete as a Jeedom/Domoticz/Nymea/HomeAssistant/etc system but it requires nothing more that a cheap bridge and compatible Lidl/Philips/Ikea lighting hardware.
Hi everyone,
@mardy wrote in last september on Github that CardDav support could be available in OTA21. As we now all use OTA22, I guess that we are getting closer :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:
Good news is that the solution seems almost ready.
@mardy : Could you make any progress since that last message ?
I made a few more tests :
So in my case, the problem is independant of :
I just have to switch on/off 4G data to see the issue appear/disappear. If I am connected to a wifi network, the problem disappears as data is handled through wifi.
@TheVancedGamer said in Can you improve an app? And would you like a Pebble smartwatch?:
Do keep in mind that the rockwork daemon actually connects to the watch, not the bluetooth stack. So you will have to launch rockwork first for the watch to be able to connect.
IT WORKS !!!!!!!!! 
Thank you !

@Moem
I want to be able ton connect my Pebbles again with Focal. I have used them for years with Xenial and switched to Focal last week. It is now impossible to have the bluetooth connexion stable enough to launch RockWork as you described in june.
I thought that @TheVancedGamer had found a solution but it seems that I have read too fast.
Hi,
@mardy does not seem to connect to this forum anymore.
Does anyone has any news about the new address book app and CardDav support ? It was almost there in Xenial OTA 24 before its removal.
CardDav synchronisation would be a great feature with Focal !
Hi @TheVancedGamer ,
Many thanks for your efforts !!!!
Do you know when your work could be merged in an OTA ? I really want my four (yes, four..) Pebble Time Steel back !
Hi,
Same problem here with a OnePlus 5 running the OTA23. I tried Waydroid helper three times (a few minutes for each try) and the command line method (almost two hours). I had previously forbidden the automatic turning off of the screen and did not touch the phone during installation. I still have that little blue turning wheel.
@x-dub It seems that we have never been so close :

@keneda
I know that Nymea is clearly more powerful than Hue but I use a laptop, rent my appartment and already own the Hue/Zigbee stuff.
I am pretty sure that "Shine" needed a huge amount of time to be created. It would be great if someone could port it to Xenial.
@libremax If I understand correctly, Nymea needs to be installed on a dedicated server (Raspsberry Pi being the best option) with a dedicated bridge to drive my Lidl/Zigbee devices.
That is too much money and work while you can get an obsolete second hand v1 Hue bridge for 5€.
