I don’t mean to make all you HomeKit users jealous, but I wanted to automate a lamp in my living room, and this has been working perfectly.

@drdrang it fails when the central server goes down. It does, right? It does, right!?

@drdrang @lmorchard gasp! it's @TechConnectify's magic spinny dial!

@drdrang I don't understand, I don't see any STM32 processors in there at all

[linnefaulk@mastodon.social]

@drdrang I had one that would randomly turn on the light within a set period. This always freaked out my boyfriend.

@drdrang antikythera plugin for HomeAssistant when?

[beaterich@norden.social]

@drdrang Then it’s a good one.

[jonm@hachyderm.io]

@drdrang Just bought one of those myself! On a related note, saw someone who automated a power strip to cut power every night at midnight, and now they never have to reset the clock on their microwave.

[drdrang@fosstodon.org]

@sadmin The central server at the power company, yes

[drdrang@fosstodon.org]

@risottobias @lmorchard @TechConnectify Never watched this one. When I was a kid, all electric clocks were like this. Quartz movements didn’t become common until sometime in the 70s, I think.

[drdrang@fosstodon.org]

@jonm I saw that, too. A strong indication of how unintuitive the clock UI is on most microwaves.

[wendinoakland@beige.party]

@drdrang OMG analog??? ()

[wendinoakland@beige.party]

@drdrang @sadmin Only problematic in Texas, amiright? Lol

@drdrang KISS

[perhaps391@mastodon.social]

@drdrang Awesome build, cool retro 3D printed case. Arduino? Pi? What distro does it run?

..what does that mean, "No chips?"

[pomegranate_stew@kind.social]

@drdrang
That’s what we used to use for our bearded dragon’s viv. They work really well.

Sp got all fancy for the lights in the bird’s room though and replaced a light switch with a timer.

[ultranurd@tacobelllabs.net]

@drdrang And you're telling me this new-fangled clockawhatsit never randomly fails to turn on the lamp?

[taatm@mathstodon.xyz]

@drdrang @joesteel
I agree they have a good purpose.

Ironically, following a power cut, I found my lamps on at 1:30am.

[ottaross@mastodon.social]

@drdrang they phone home though, right? And upload all your personal banking info?

[bkuhn@fedi.copyleft.org]

@drdrang I actually have three of the old school 80s ones in storage.

@drdrang 30 year review: can recommend.
