-6 Grad und die heiße Draußendusche funktioniert immer noch. Freude, Genuss und ein wenig Stolz.

A free electricity session tonight for an hour so we're going crazy. The house battery is charging, as is Eddie (our EV), and @vmisty75 is grabbing a shower.

Thanks to Home Assistant, we can see we're pulling in around 21kW which I think is the highest I've seen for a while. We're usually more frugal when it's overnight import or stretching the solar were stored during the day, but while we're getting paid to help balance the grid, why not.

@Morpurgo @linuxmint @linuxmagazine Maar Home staat toch los van je laptop/pc? En Keep is toch ook webbased? Of begrijp ik je verkeerd.

Of wil je los van Google?

Ik gebruik zelf #honeassistant voor het automatiseren van het huis. En zoals ik eerder schreef ben ik nog zoekende in alternatieven voor MS apps.

I put two Zigbee temperature sensors in our garage yesterday just to test the range. The reader isn’t too close and there are several walls between the reader and the sensors and I really didn’t expect it to work. Works perfectly though. I wonder if devices belonging to another Zigbee network will relay the data, or if the range simply is this good. We have one network with IKEA’s hub and another with SkyConnect in HomeAssistant.

So I now have the cabling in place for a future EV charger. Now remains the task to find an EV charger _and_ an EV that integrates well with #honeassistant 🤔. A minimum requirement is that I can control the charging rate. The more open (as in a good available API and not actively blocking the community) the better.
kdyz uz teda taham cenu benzinu abych “nacenil” svoje jizdy, muzu to taky hodit do grafu a videt jak se to hybe, zejo? #honeassistant

@danilo is it power-over-ethernet? Looks like you’ll still need a power brick for the hue bridge in your scenario.

Over the past three years with #honeassistant we’ve been slowly adding Ubiquiti PoE gear for all >24V DC stuff, including wall-mounted tablets and phone chargers.

Beyond elimination of wall watts, I can remotely power cycle power if something gets stuck or need to be bounced. It’s also one source device to put on a UPS.
