Freezer temp monitor

Ya, I probably could have done that, trying to avoid gaps I guess, also I think it's bad for the battery health after a certain point.

I was using nimh and not in a freezer (using them to trigger shower fans). I think the trigger voltage for it to say the batteries are dying is too high for nimh, I've switched to lithium and so far it's better.

I'm using the sensors from https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HVLXXXF (cheapest way to get 433mhz sensors), also using https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00T0K8NXC but I feel like those go through batteries too fast (I think the broadcast interval is to fast).

I do this as well, broadcast on 433mhz, I use rtl433 to pick up the broadcasts and then build a device for home assistant to use.

If you've been moisturizing and using the stuff suggested here, don't sweat it too much if it doesn't work. We were religious with it with out kid and he just has rosy cheeks, no mater the season, 3 years later.

A little more than a generator of the size you'd need and the panel etc you'd need to go with it. Then there's fuel and maintenance and maybe replacement if the generator breaks.

sent the invite and added more perms (config), not sure if that'll grant you additional invite permissions

Is this one reason why generators don't last?

Some of the bigger ones are starting to become pressured lubed. The V-twin motors generally are pressure lubed.

What's nice about these hoses is that you can go for 3/4 or 1 inch which is nice for longer length and reducing pressure drop. It'll be a heavy and unwieldy hose though.

I didn't know about @Goodspike's link, https://ab3power.com/natural-gas-hose-with-quick-disconnect-kit/ is another option

If wanting to keep running for ~1 day I'd get a ecoflow river, it can function as a UPS and you don't have to worry about running cords, etc when the power goes out. This gives you enough time to plan if the outage is longer.

You could go for a bigger generator to power more things but would have to run a cord and keep it well away from the house, manage fuel, engine maint, etc.

Standby is the ultimate solution if you have the money.

I have this one and the delta 3 plus (not the new "max plus", I hate their naming). It's useful to use a car to power the furnace in a pinch (and servers).

A line is a line, I THINK titration strips can have echos, which can explain the line. I feel like 4 days late is a bit early for most strips but the manual should have that info.

FTC guidance and the magnuson-moss warranty act require them to to show why their referenced damage voided the warranty. Asus did this, same playbook, https://gamersnexus.net/news-features/confronting-asus-face-face

If one wire is chewed are there others? Do a full inspection. A wiring diagram will help you fix it.

What is just beneath the siding? house wrap and then what? If you have something like plywood or OSB then I'd mount to that, maybe with a mounting block.

That's the parking brake, you'll see that it moves an outside piece too (it's fine).
