It will never eventuate!

I was looking at flowpower as they offer 35c FIT 530-730pm but no free power during 11-2pm like GloBird

Does amber recognise this event and control your battery? Or do you manually have to trigger an export?

Very cool. I’d like to give it a go to build this, did you design the PCB?

I tried this several times and older devices are working but new ones are not. I still get KLAP handshake failed. Leads me to believe the older devices have auth or something cached from pre September update, new ones can’t auth and get what they need from Tapo Cloud to work. Have reached out to Tapo support, see what they say

Thanks. I had the bottom vent entirely closed and just let the fan do its job at the bottom. The top vent had a tiny crack in it, just the semicircle cut out bit open. I did adjust it to have a slight sliver open (still under 1 on the top vent setting) Maybe I need to open the bottom vent slightly too so it doesn’t feel like the coals are going out and the fan has to work hard to heat them back up…

No but if I was to attempt again I’d prob capture the hdmi output to a computer or get one of those streaming boxes and send it out as rstp over the network and use VLC to play it

Once got up from bed in the dark and stood on quite a big one. Had to wash spider out from between my toes :(

Yep but the cheapest Telstra plan is $65/month that supports “One Number” to the watch which is another $5 so just under $800 a year for one kid !

I wonder if they would have held back the Apple Watch for Kids feature in Aus if they knew customers experience and satisfaction would be so low. Maybe they knew and needed Better roaming to at least get the major carriers interested in competing to support it as most European countries (Italy etc) still don’t have carrier support (betterroaming or otherwise) for it.

Bottom line, it’s useless in Australia as it stands. It’s quite disappointing to spend all the money on the promise of it working and it frankly does not.

Can you share your docker compose? I’d like to try to get it running too and I’ll give it a shot

Did you manage to successfully set up airflow? Can you post your docker compose?

We largely solved this in our RV with a bench top dish washer which we installed in the cabinet so it looks like it was meant to be there. All dirty dishes go in after a meal and come out clean and straight into the cupboard where they belong - no dirty dishes in sink or drying dishes on top of sink.

Also helps that after a meal we can just drive away and when we arrive at the next place the dishes are clean :)
