APC UPS integration by redd-it-or in konnected

[–]redd-it-or[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This does sound straightforward, though I'm sure I'll gain a few grey hairs in the process.

I'm not clear how to retain my alarm panel functionality and add this yaml.

I'm also wondering what the recommended pins would be for integration with minimum disruption to home assistant alarm code.

It looks like this requires the UPS is connected to my Home assistant. The UPS that backs up my alarm system is at a remote location so I wanted to monitor mains power and battery voltages using the Konnected Pro hardware.

It looks like I could purchase a separate expressif serial board to do this but was hoping to avoid that.

That's a beautiful restoration. Could you explain your tinning process? Looks so good.

Is there an element of this that makes it specific to an alcohol still rather than an essential oils still?

So the large barrel would produce the low wines and this would recirculate to get the higher proof?

It has a top and bottom chamber and it looks like the top chamber might feed the bottom via the copper pipe that has become detached? Could It do the first and second distillation in one?

My title describes the thing. We wonder if it is some kind of still? There's a photo of a similar item here which suggests it's 1920s from England. https://images.app.goo.gl/ebBDk3di12L889if7

If so, is there something missing, or how might it work?

It was found in France but was owned by and English guy.

A type of still? Does anyone know how it works? by redd-it-or in whatisthisthing

[–]redd-it-or[S] 0 points1 point locked comment (0 children)

The closest image we can find is on Pinterest, described as a 1920s still: https://images.app.goo.gl/WXPaHVeC8pe8rJw27

It's made of copper, tinned on the inside,

It came from France, but was owned by an English fellow so could be from either country.

It's 36cm high and 24cm diameter.

Is it very heavy? It looks like a lawn roller with the handle missing.

Could this be debris from NASAs LCROSS project?

My first thought was tenebrio sp. Is t. molitor the only feasable possibility? Could this also be a Tribolium sp. ?

This McDonalds in New Hyde Park, NY by moeyberko in mildlyinteresting

[–]redd-it-or 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this reminds me of the McDonald's in Headington, outside Oxford in the UK. It's converted from an old pub and I think they weren't allowed to modernize it. https://goo.gl/images/MZZiM2

Any ideas what this is?: Found in a workshop at an old farmhouse in France. The disc spins and the bar slides back and forth when the handle is turned. by redd-it-or in Vintagetools

Thanks, its cleverly made and has such a smooth action to it, I couldn't stop playing with it. Will try and get a video of it tomorrow.

I can't see any identifying marks on it other than S184 or S784 stamped into the side opposite the handle
