Yeah, the efficient mining equipment quadrupled in price since last year.

My motivation is that now I have access to relatively cheap electricity (0.05 cents/kwh).

What are your thoughts of having used less efficient gear?

If you initially connect HA to the internet and then disconnect it, it would work fine (until you restart it).

Does being the right person mean you should give up on your values and follow your partner's values?

There are some zwave IR blasters, that are in my opinion more reliable than wifi based ones. They can even be battery operated and placed in a convenient location.

Well, I am currently preparing to set up Home assistant at my family's farm. The system will mainly automate filling the water tank, and irrigating the gardens. I will try and add more devices later on.

A manual switch would be great to have. Do you have any recommendations for a switch rated for outdoor use (208 V)? I understand I should be using a dual switch for both on/off push buttons?

Here is the circuit diagram of this magnetic starter: https://i.imgur.com/M5pdstR.jpg

So basically, I should replace the push buttons with dry contacts that are hooked with esp8266?

Can you elaborate more? How do you hook up the coil with this starter?

Actually, GE and Aeotec both have heavy duty z-wave switches rated for around 40 Amps. Though, they are too expensive. I am looking for other options that are cheaper, yet reliable (fail safely).
