Can confirm, the metal spray guns are way better than the disposable cans. Their ‘reusable’ disposable cans had poor flow and kept clogging on me.

Why eat bugs when you could eat lentils?

Wikipedia says Europe uses mainly the shorter cab-over-engine tractors in order to maximize trailer length while staying under the total length limit. They commonly pull standard ISO shipping containers, so in that case at least the difference is all in the tractor.

The storage capacity is sized for daily consumption, not the yearly figure you quoted. And of course, this is one small project out of the hundreds of plants that will be needed to meet climate goals.

The biggest issue with solar right now is that the output varies over the course of the day, leaving other power plants to take up the load at night or during cloudy weather. The attached battery storage averages out the solar plant’s output, letting it be a useful contributor to the grid around the clock. There’s other benefits like grid stabilization and peak shaving, where the battery stores and releases oversupply from the rest of the grid, not just the attached solar panels.

OP here, I ended up purchasing one USI MI106S, which advertises the following:

• Combines the benefits of both Photoelectric & Ionization technology in one alarm
• Smart Alarm Technology virtually eliminates nuisance alarms
• Automatic temperature and humidity compensation continuously adjusts to variations in environmental conditions, reducing nuisance alarms

Which sounds like what I’m looking for. I’ll try some informal tests on it before I buy more.

It’s a good idea, but at this point I’m too frustrated to wait a few months to see if the moved alarm does or does not go off. And then I’d have to figure out what’s different and how to fix it.

Right now I’d rather spend some money and get smarter alarms, if they’re available.

But the pressure from the atmosphere applies to both sides of the sphincter, resulting in zero net pressure. Unless the suit actually does press against the outside of the sphincter like it does the rest of the body, I think OP’s concern about the suit squeezing you like a tube of toothpaste is valid.

Maybe the suit only applies a few PSI instead of the full 14.7, which it seems like one’s sphincters would be able to withstand.

FYI, there is a Scheduler card that might make that automation easier.

I’ve got a T6 Z-Wave also, controlling a 2-stage heat pump. I have it connected to HA through Zwave2mqtt. It’s been pretty great except for two things:

A. Changing the time has no effect, as if the clock is read-only due to a hardware issue. I’ve had to set up the daily schedule in HA instead, but it’s probably better that way anyway.

B. I can’t see the stage and aux heat status in HA. Looks like all it exposes is a ‘heating’ or ‘cooling’ state. Anybody know how to get more info?

I’ve had 10 of the RGB ones, E21-N1EA, for a few months now and they’ve been working perfectly. Not the brightest or the most accurate color, but they’re simple, cheap, and local-only.

Have you checked out Frigate? It’s a local service that captures RTSP streams from cameras and uses neural net image recognition to trigger events / recordings. It has good integration with Home Assistant.
