Hi I have installed half a dozen Shelly 1PM Mini units around the house and they do work well. I’ve not had one fall off the wifi, and they are great with HomeAssistant. I use InfluxDB to capture data from HomeAssistant and do calculations and aggregations in the DB to get overall costs of devices. I also use HomeAssistant to automate the relays so lights come on at night etc.

Installation is a bit tricky so I tend to use IP64 rated enclosures rather than leave them in the drywall like the website says you can. I also find the mains cables a bit thick to go into the terminals and adding ferrules would make it impossible. Other than that I think they’re great.

still less bulky than one ANPVS-4

when you hear “geo engineering”, think of “clean coal” and “sustainable aviation fuel,” because they are one and the same

actually it appears as though the House voted today to change the definition of anti-semitism to include criticism of the state of Israel, so in fact it now is anti-semitic to point out those things.

“sorry but due to increased vandalism in your area, we’re raising your water bill by 50%. feel free to complain to your MP who let us do this on the basis that we made a large donation to his re-election campaign and offered him a cushy director job when he’s finished. also, we’ll be doubling our shareholder dividend this year. thanks!”

councils have been bankrupted by successive cuts over the last decade such that its a miracle some can still collect bins.

current government have no interest in causing trouble for their school friends, biggest party donors and future employment prospects.

for now
