I thought I'd pop this up here, as I've now had mine almost a year.

I've had sonoff zigbee sensors for a while, and wanted to try this slightly updated one with a display.
To cut a long story short:

• It works
• It communicates and pairs with HA ZHA integration out of the box.
• I've not had any issues at all since I bought it.
• The display is clear
• The bracket sticks to the wall, then the sensor magnets into the bracket. The sensor also has a fold-out stand for placing on a surface.
• After almost 1 year on the included battery, it's showing 60%
• I paid about £12, they're now around £14

Battery use should obviously be taken with a pinch of salt, but I would not be surprised if it's still trucking after 2 years.

Accuracy is fine for consumer level gear

I also discovered (after updating to HA latest) that temperature and humidity thresholds can be set on the device.
And that it will show symbols on the display when these limits are breached. By default, it shows a snowflake when it's under 19'C.

So, yeah. For areas where people are likely to want to check the temperature quickly, they're neat little dooberies.

I would like to start using floorplans/maps with various device actions on them. This means I need locally stored images, that can be seen over the network.
I managed to upload images to HA, but as they need to be accessed with a token, I either need to refresh the token every day (no), or have an image with a long-lived token (also not a good idea).

How have other people done things?
Is it worth spinning up an http image host?
Or maybe throwing files into an nginx folder inside HA?

Thoughts on a postcard :)

Oh my Jesus, can we just renationalise them already?

'We can only squeeze money out of this debt strangled utility if you exempt us from liability, particularly the executives in charge'

What a load of horseshit.

As I'm currently doing a re-wire, it's a great opportunity for me to put some metering in the house.
I'm single-phase, but I plan to monitor multiple sections of the house, which are each wired for 100A independently.

I'm currently eyeing up either the Shelly Pro 3EM – 120A or the 50A.
As it will fit nicely in the consumer unit, and supports Ethernet.

I previously looked at the Aeotec clamp devices, but they seem to be difficult to find with multiple 100A connectors.

Emporia Vue was also a consideration, but I'm always a little hesitant to buy products that require custom firmware to even work properly, when others are available. And I'd also like to avoid using 2.4Ghz wifi for connectivity.

I'd love to hear any experiences people have had with similar devices, good or bad. And how the integration with HA went.

I guess they kinda have to do this, or you'd have to keep the same person on breakfast until they retired.

I always found it a little bit comfy that BBC pipelined a lot of the flagship presenters.
Steve Wright going from Radio 1, to Radio 2 as the listeners aged, for example.

Apology from me. We're moving some things around on the back end, and my non-thinking brain didn't think to check another admin was online before handing over control of a system to them.

Hopefully, feddit.uk will be back up before the end of the day, assuming nothing horrid happens.

We played through it this weekend. tl;dr: It's funny, about 3-4 hours (or maybe more), and worth the money.

It is incredibly silly, and fantastic for it.
imho, if perfectly captures stupid british humour.

Our favourite moments involved vegan sausage rolls, mysterious sausage holes, and a very friendly mole.

You will also probably be quoting the marrow song for a while.

(And I will just clarify since I'm an admin: I paid for the game, and CoalSupper didn't put me up to this positive mention)

We're going to try to make the leap forward today. There will be some downtime while we attempt to do this. Rollback will be around 3pm if things are not working as expected.
