  • Ahh, a power station. I have on of those too for camping and using it at home to let the 3D printer run off-grid on some spare camping solar panels.

    For the house I’ve used a hybrid invertor. It can do all of the same functions but can do much more power, and it can also zero the meter (no import and export, since it automatically tries to compensate for your usage, whole house-wide)

    Are there any platforms you use to try and outmate things yet? Or integrate it to track power usage?










  • woonkamer_tv is the chromecast name

    so change the “remote.woonkamer_tv” and “media_player.woonkamer_tv”

    Out current automation has grown, but has been unchanged for a bit. Just posting here in case you have some errors of issues.

    I got to be fair, I do agree here. Buy smart switches where possible. I have never had problems with those, while smart bulbs are sometimes inefficient, too dim, flicker at low brightness, and are more expensive.

    We have about 12 smart switches and 6 bulbs or so. From Sonoff and Athom.

    Another option we have is smart bulb with a smart switch. So you don’t turn the power off from the bulb. This is the worst of both worlds.
