#homeassistant combined with AI and AIiexpress microelectronics tat plus a Deye inverter and solar array and battery, is a stunning combination and 🐇🕳️🧲 rabbit hole magnet that I've been gleefully buried in since mid August. Netflix cannot compete.

Managed to hack this together to bypass the invertor cloud solar panel data connectivity and obtain local modbus data to feed into #homeassistant for real time power management.... means I don't suffer 15 min cloud delays and can automate a plethora based on ☀️⚡panel & battery levels to other devices

This El Niño really is something else.
Temperatures in the eastern Pacific are now widely 5°C above average, peaking at 6°C.
Forecasts continue to push us deeper into Super El Niño territory. This event will re-write the history books on the impacts of events at this scale.

If you search it you'll find technical reasons why it's not generally plumbed in for households, however a simple bucket in the shower that collects water, which you empty into the toilet next time you pee is really not difficult.

#Brexit costs continue to screw things up.... If you have a Spanish mobile contract eg. With Orange and you are in UK and receive a spam call (who doesn't?) , even if you don't answer it, Orange bill you for each call, about €1 each time.
