Public transport routing is the only thing I keep Google Maps for. I'm currently Interrailing - on the ferry from Helsinki to Tallinn as we speak - and it'd be so nice to do my navigating in one app.

If you look closely you will see that it actually says "Simpsons artist" in his name (in the part with brackets (like this)) but I can see how you'd be confused because it doesn't look like The Simpsons.

Yeah, I think we're past that point now. I know the Clicks Communicator has a 3.5mm jack but I really don't see why. If anyone is thinking about fitting an extra port on their phone I'd sooner see a second USB-C jack.

I tend to find that white tone bulbs work better than RGB for getting room lighting right, though you can get RGBWW bulbs which do well at both. Honestly I'm not attached to any specific brand but I've had consistently good experiences with IKEA Tradfri and Lidl Silvercrest bulbs, which both work with Zigbee.

This was one of the things that got me into Home Assistant. All the bulbs in my house can be controlled and having them transition automatically between daylight white and cozy warm light is kinda magical even after several years.

Take a look at the Adaptive Lighting integration if you haven't already. You can set the colour/temp/brightness of your bulbs for daytime and nighttime, per zone if you want, and it will nicely fade over a set period around dawn and dusk.

Also, the first time I wrote that last sentence it got autocorrected to "around dawn and dick".

The correct answer.

...but I might have made the score of the century. £30 the lot. They all boot up happily with 5v power supplied with a couple of Dupont wires and hold at least a little bit of charge. Replacement USB cables and straps ordered, so full testing will need to wait until then.

Hi all. Thanks for checking in. I've been looking at Routing Rules and Routes to try and solve a couple of problems but I keep screwing up and taking down my whole network (and I've never been more grateful for serial ports).

What I'm trying to do is use different WAN connections for different VLANs/subnets. To begin with, I would like to route my general-purpose subnet (VLAN104) WAN traffic over a Proton Wireguard VPN while leaving all my other subnets using my standard ISP connection. Afterwards, I'd like to additionally route a subnet I use to give my neighbour Internet access (VLAN102) over a different Proton Wireguard VPN. Annoyingly, both the Wireguard VPN connections use the same private IP addresses though I suspect that won't actually matter that much in practise.

I starting to suspect I'm barking up the wrong tree trying to use Routing Rules but I'd appreciate any advice.

The UK is currently experiencing some prolonged windy weather and my all-renewable energy provider offers dynamic pricing. That means cheap energy and even negative-cost energy. This is where my HA instance shines and saves me a fortune on my power bill. Thanks again to the HA devs for this incredible project.

For the curious, I'm using bottlecapdave's excellent Home Assistant Octopus Energy integration via HACS.

These water fountains flow constantly with fresh drinking water for anyone to use and they are everywhere in Rome. Covering the spout with your finger forces the water out a hole on top, creating a arch of water at perfect 𝓼𝓵𝓾𝓻𝓹𝓲𝓷𝓰 height. The Romans were/are with us.

Does anyone know a way of calculating the amount of heating I need to maintain an average temperature in terms of kWh of heating per 24 hours? Ideally one taking into account weather conditions.

I have a pretty big Home Assistant setup which includes switches for individually controlling all the (electric) heaters in my home. I'm also using an electricity supplier that changes the amount they charge every 30 minutes to reflect supply and demand. Given these rates are published at least 24 hours in advance I can currently choose a number of hours to run the heaters per day and have an automation automatically select the cheapest periods. I'm paying less per kWh for heating than I would if I was using a gas boiler. Plus, it's all from renewables, so working out that number of hours is the next step.
