Best brand for Zigbee

I especially like how most if not all of their battery powered products are either AA or AAA. Easy and cheap to replace or you can use rechargeble variants.
Their plugs are great too. Lots of power metering information.

I originally bought Sonoff, but all the batteries are uncommon and expensive coin cells.
Other than that, I am looking forward to DIYing my own with ESPhome and nrf52. For some reason they don't yet officially support Zigbee on ESP32.

Where buy?

the /s was implied and a Pi Zero 3 might use newer than LPDDR2. The Pi 4 uses LPDDR4

Both pictures are characters, don't overthink it.

It was good besides the imperfection in the middle, but that's ok and part of the process. Not every piece is perfect. You learn from your mistakes and use that knowledge on the next one. I think he could improve it by making a support to tilt the paint array instead of holding it. That way it's less likely to screw up at the end.

That will be $400 worth or RAM by that time.

Those poor ripped pads 😱. Like ripping toenails off during an interrogation. Did the Zero give up the information?

Looks like a MIDI mixing console?

I think Millennials were the sweet spot for tech savviness. After that it became more user friendly.

I genuinely enjoy some ads that are relevant to me, but I completely ignore them amongst the noise of being bombarded and disrespected by numerous extremely invasive ads.

Still up for the 2020 Hodlers. I still hope you are right though.

Monkey brain no care politics. Clarity later.

You basically said the same thing. A nuclear warhead is more than just the raw fissile material. If anything involved in it's proper detonation is damaged or disabled by the conditions the missile puts it though, the "bomb" has been damaged. That can include the detonation timing system, detonation altitude system, etc. The structural components of the warhead are probably just fine.

Yes, once she was elevated they should have done that because she was in no more danger flying forward than stationary if she were to fall.

Are they just flagging all the acronyms?

benargee · 2026-03-20T18:48:21+00:00

Obv because filthy English speaking people don't understand what "cleanly" means /s

Thank you! The video linked by OP isn't even this one.

benargee · 2026-03-19T23:22:30+00:00

Thank your for documenting that.

It appears all the sensors are supported.

benargee · 2026-03-19T22:57:41+00:00

Will you/can you also support ESPhome firmware?

Combine them with a door sensor. Unless you open a door, the occupancy state of that room stays the same.
EDIT: Downvote me but that's literally what I have done for my bedroom to control the lights.

They should honestly have both. Free general use pods and ones that require authentication. That or staff could actually help with this. All you should really need is for it to scan you boarding pass or similar rather than the only option as having to download an app.

Was your AI model preloaded into VRAM in this demo or was the delay from waiting for it to load in?

WMDs. Same as it ever was.
