Schnell noch die Temperatur an dem alten Tablet, das als webkam im Wohnzimmerfenster hängt, in der prallen Sonne. Denke über emergency-Abschaltung, USB-Lüfter und Heatpipes nach, für paar Euro...

# TEMPERATURE=`adb shell dumpsys battery | grep temperature |cut -c 16-18`; TEMPERATURE_formatted="${TEMPERATURE:0:-1},${TEMPERATURE: -1}"; echo "Aktuelle Temperatur des Tablets (Akku): $TEMPERATURE_formatted ° Celsius ."

Aktuelle Temperatur des Tablets (Akku): 48,1 ° Celsius.

... Mind that in a skript, some "sleep 5s" or longer is needed... I will write about it...

Notes to myself: This is how the really really old Samsung tablet takes a photo via adb and leaves it on the computer (e.g. a raspi:
# adb shell input keyevent 26
# adb shell am start -a android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE --ez android.intent.extra.quickCapture true
# adb shell input touchscreen tap 970 300
# adb shell input touchscreen tap 770 570
# adb pull /sdcard/DCIM/Camera/
# adb shell rm /sdcard/DCIM/Camera/*

To manage my three raspis, I created a konsole json layout profile that allows me to start a split screen with three terminals automatically logged in to the three raspis. I call it with konsole --layout bin/monitoring.json, which I put in a .desktop file with a cute raspberry pi on it. :-)

@dragotin Thanks a lot, esp. when pinned down with a men's flu. I know how hard that can be.

Merci.

Yeah. Friends are so important. And with 30 years in #opensource and #linux, I collected some who made careers too and still are helpful. Thanks to @dragotin , who is nowadays CTO of @OpenCloud , Radicale works now in my #Opencloud. Someone with a higher skillnet had to help me with the layers of the mistake that I combined to make #radicale not work out-of-the-box. Paths and permissions, I say, will write about it.
Thanks!
