To all your online detectives out there. Can you tell which household device would leave this footprint on my SeeedStudio ePaper dashboard?
(the dips are grid usage)
If you want to know how to make this dashboard, here is the link:

Smart ePaper display for Home Assistant - NotEnoughTech

I got this lovely SeeedStudio XIAO 7.5" ePaper display, and I wanted to visualise my energy consumption in a less limiting way. Thanks to Home Assistant, ESPHome and some cool tricks, I made it happen

I got my hands on #XIAO #ePaper display from #seeedstudio - since I'm a big fan of power dashboards, solar generation, and ePaper displays, I decided to turn it into a fun little energy dashboard.

This inexpensive smart plug from #ITEAD comes with power measurement. Made for the UK (EU version available), it uses #ZigBee and I tested it with most common automation platforms.

The most inexpensive smart socket can measure power! - NotEnoughTech

Sonoff iPlug is one of the cheapest ZigBee smart plugs with power measurement. I'm trying it out with eWeLink, Alexa, NodeRED and Home Assistant

I have a new smart socket from #ITEAD and it has a very #Sonoff problem (for now). On the positive side, it costs next to nothing and it comes with power measurement.

After playing with #HomeAssistant for a couple of weeks, I have moved it to my permanent automation server. It will live along #NodeRED, #Grafana #Postres #InfluxDB nodes on #Super6C - a #ComputeModule4 cluster I dedicated to home automation:

This is one of the most insane things that you can build with Compute Module 4 - meet DeskPi Super6C - a motherboard for clustering Raspberry Pi boards
