SO: Next door have got their lights up, why haven't we? Me: (Enable NodeRed flows for gutter and pergola light strings that switches them on at dusk and off late evening) Right, that's the missus pacified for a week or so. I should probably get BigTimer to sort that out itself.
Employee: I've got all the printers for monitored using an auto entries card. (Good skills) Me: (Installs an addon that can use VoIP to do text to speech to a phone) We warn off the customer and now they get a phone call from "things" that tells them what consumables to buy and also sends an email.
When I finally get around to sorting out my glasses so I can see what my soldering iron is up to, I'll get many more gadgets installed. My computer room at work needs a tiny ESP8266 and four 1 wire Dallas SC temperature sensors, a bit of vero board, a resistor, power and probably a buck convertor and a case, which I'll print.
I adore HA.
