I tested the Shelly LOQED Touch Smart Lock — and the auto-unlock via Bluetooth geofencing actually works as well as advertised. SKG 3-star security, 8mm touch panel, and a local push API for Home Assistant (core since 2023.7). Euro profile only — check your door!

Bulgarien hat den #ESC gewonnen. Bulgarien, ein Land, das vielen #Homeassistant-Anwendern und sonstigen Anhängern der #Hausautomation vor allem als Heimatland für die hervorragenden #Shelly bekannt sein dürfte.
Really impressed with #Shelly, the new package manager for #Arch that is now the default on #CachyOS. It is crazy fast! The only thing I wish it did was to queue the installation of Flatpaks the way it does for repo apps so they install all at once instead of one at a time.
I also installed it on Fives, my HP laptop running #Garuda, and it works great there as well. Still gonna’ use garuda-update for updates, though, just in case.

Wir gehen davon aus, dass der #Vermieter nicht einfach pauschal den Einbau eines Messgerätes im Sicherungskasten durch einen Elektriker:in verbieten kann.
Er muß das Interesse an Geldsparen und Nutzung eines #Steckersolargerätes durch den #Mieter überwinden, was nur in Ausnahmefällen (sehr alter Sicherungskasten) der Fall sein dürfte.
