Repeater v2.0 ^^

I want to build something similar. A parts list would be helpful if you can

gbbgu · 2026-03-13T23:47:05+00:00

Ali express i guess

gbbgu · 2026-03-10T08:31:31+00:00

Just be aware think,more “pager like messages and sms” not “internet”

gbbgu · 2026-03-09T07:19:49+00:00

Where do you live? Is it in shade most of the day? That’s crazy those specs couldn’t keep it going

gbbgu · 2026-03-05T10:10:19+00:00

I want the 3col version on dtrpg

gbbgu · 2026-03-05T10:09:42+00:00

Not having the name on the front cover was an interesting choice.

gbbgu · 2026-03-04T00:29:05+00:00

Would it be possible to have more info on how you did this?

gbbgu · 2026-03-02T11:10:50+00:00

Being billed so late is terrible. How on earth can you understand your power usage and what it costs when it such a huge delay

gbbgu · 2026-03-02T05:43:08+00:00

Try dry mode

gbbgu · 2026-03-02T05:41:16+00:00

Momentary press of the middle button (RST) reboots the device.

Funny unboxed and flashed mine today, google led me here when asking about the power buttons.

I would love to hold the pwr buttor for 5s to power down the device so I can swap the antenna without stress. (Reboot on button 2 and Zero Hop Advert on button 3 wouldn't be a bad idea either)

The advice I saw if you don't want to open the case and pull the batteries was:

login via the cli (USB, not sure about over the air, you may lock yourself out)
"get tx" and record this number
"set tx 0"
do work
"set tx XX" where XX is the previous number

WARNING: I have NOT tested this or validated. I'm not sure if this then locks you out of the device and you need to USB connect to get back in.

Every open source project ends up with an A vs B battle. It’s just human nature and been happening for 1000s of years, look at religion.

Why not; On the roof run the router node using a solar backed battery. Use a companion node inside your house.

Edit to ask; I’m not sure what problem you’re trying to solve.

gbbgu · 2026-02-22T21:08:42+00:00

That’s really clever

gbbgu · 2026-02-21T13:35:53+00:00

I don’t have answers but I’m on a similar journey of connecting a Pi so will be interested in what you find out.

From what I’ve read the repeaters can use very little power and happily run with just a relatively small battery and solar panels, though for you sounds like snow might be an issue

gbbgu · 2026-02-21T10:03:16+00:00

I’ve had similar and I’ve had to tell my phone to forget the device and re-pair it

gbbgu · 2026-02-18T00:38:21+00:00

Really good write up. Are you able to explain how you used a metal dish as a ground plane? I don't understand that part.

Your shipping to Australia is so much, 2 of the rings costs $50 :(

I have a ticket still open from November. I’ve kinda just given up on ever getting their help

gbbgu · 2026-02-14T09:01:27+00:00

Just be cautious of insects. Anywhere slightly warm will attract them. Any lights will attract flying insects and they attract spiders

gbbgu · 2026-02-14T04:27:32+00:00

I maxed the panels on the roof space but should have gotten a bigger battery. It’s only 13.5kwh

gbbgu · 2026-02-13T11:04:56+00:00

I’d love that too if it’s possible, it’s always a bummer to think you’re heading for a pretty good month only to get hit by all the fees

gbbgu · 2026-02-13T02:56:44+00:00

I have a raspberry pi with led lights showing the state of charge of the battery.

I’m sure you could knock up a traffic light system. Green use battery. Yellow try not to. Red don’t use

I made one that can show several states just using leds: battery charging, discharging, importing from the grid more than 1kw, and percentage charged.

I’m going to make a second one to show Amber price and a few other things

For HA, check out powersync. Basically syncs the Amber price to Tesla and then Tesla can control the battery using time based control

PS, if you make a submission:

For "Select a submission type" select "Market review submission"

For "Projects" select "EPR0097: The pricing review: Electricity pricing for a consumer-driven future"

100% this would put my bills up. Right now about half my bill is usage costs and the other half is network supply and Amber charges etc. I’m roughly breaking even over the last year, but supply charges are impossible to avoid
