It was only a few days ago but I did however get it working. I had an error on npm start that sam in the MM discord helped me solve and then my other problem with it not showing the module was due to me putting "middle-right" when then is not an option. Fixing those two things now makes it work. Thank you for replying!

Sure, I did try npm I stall after cloning to the modules folder per the installation instructions. I did get an error when doing so, which is probably something to post over on the MM forums. I think it has to do with the module not supporting newer versions of something.

I'm really not experienced with raspberry pi but I can copy paste instructions and codes as requested lol.

Interesting. I've not heard of this new battery technology before. Sodium should be much more easily sourced I would think. We'll see, but for the meantime I'll hang onto my phone as long as possible and not buy lithium battery powered vehicles. Most people don't know about the working conditions that those children and adults are exposed to while mining lithium and Cobalt.

The biggest hurdle that needs to be overcome in my own eyes is how we source the precious metals for the batteries. Look up Lithium and Cobalt mines in Africa. Of course this applies to all lithium batteries (phones and cars being the biggest players).

I've been using tasker to manage my ringer profiles for so long I didn't even realize this. When at work (within radius) and connected to the office WiFi the ringer is set to 1 out of 7 level. When out in the manufacturing facility it's disconnected from WiFi and I'm still inside the radius so the ringer goes to 7 out of 7 level. Works like a charm!

I was 75% that... I was just dumb and my parents heard the sink running at the same time and opened the door and confronted me lol.

I apologize I realized I was updating the linked list. So it's no longer the same as it was when I posted this.

Thank you very much for the insight. I've updated my build list and I've got the total price down to $1507 which is much more in line to what I wanted to spend.

I responded to another user here but I put this together. It appears to be the same cost and probably significantly better? Any thoughts on this or suggestions? Is it overkill? Will it be able to play games for 7+ years? Thank you.

I appreciate the extensive response. I see I can build an AMD much better for the same price. Check out this PC Parts Picker list. This is probably top of the line right now? Would you say this would be able to play comfortably for 7+years (obviously estimating)?

I have very little experience with AMD and friends/coworkers are more for Intel. I'm open to either honestly. I have done a little research into cost comparison of the 7900x but I also see now that the 7800x3D is better cost for performance. Would you be able to provide a motherboard that you would recommend for the 7800x3D? I will look into a little more. Thank you!

Thank you for the input. Do you have a preferred fan you would go with for better cooling?

Apparently I've been staring at this too long, what's the typo? Thank you for the input!

Amen. Same boat here. I have too much of it now and I want to start migrating to local control. I'm starting on Shelly devices myself.

HA has gotten a lot better in the last year if you haven't used it in a while. I honestly don't feel it's cumbersome. Gone are the days of needing to use YAML code.

What if you made a pin switch in combination with the magnetic switch? Any magnet should work, the magnet from the magnet switch can be replaced with any magnet. Maybe you need a stronger one is all?

Looks like Shelly. If so, if you set up home assistant and get Shelly added do you get all the features you want? I would think so.

Carolina Squat they call it. Dumbest thing ever.

I can only assume this was intentional, I agree username checks out

I made a solar powered wifi enabled weather station and moisture meter for my garden. The first attempt was my only and it lasted a couple weeks before I noticed the ants liked the heat of the electronics, created a little farm around the box sitting on the ground and then my wife became unhappy about it.

That said I will eventually make another that is elevated from the ground, just haven't gotten to it yet.
