Wait, data from multiple tenants is stored in the same place. Do you have per-tenant encryption key, or how else are you ensuring no bugs allow tenants to read others data?

Yes - for now. I think the ultimate end-goal is to get rid of the YAML config files, which, makes sense for the median user, but not for power users. For example, I have my config on GitHub and share various YAML blueprints with a friend wh

I'd look more into it - Octopus Agile can save you a heap of money, doubly so if you have Solar + Battery so can more effectively load balance. And Intelligent Octopus Go is a variable rate - 7p 23:30-05:30 (and any time during the day

Sorry, but this feels entirely wrong. If I didn't have a smart meter my levellised cost of energy wouldn't be negative like it is now (EV tariff + Solar + Battery).

It also opens up more granular time-of-use tariffs than Economy 7. Intelligent Octopus Go being one example.

I'm in the UK and with solar and battery, and having an EV there are tariffs out there where the levellised cost you'll pay is approaching 7p per kWh. Intelligent Octopus Go is one example - between 23:30 and 05:30 all of your ele

It's worse though when you need to add a ton of custom sensors at once, e.g., for properly automating a Solar PV + Battery solution.

Another option is to use a password manager that supports passkeys, such as BitWarden. You can even host it locally, behind a VPN, if you don't trust the threat modelling of their hosted version. Then, it's a case of installing Bi

Ah - this brings back memories. Back in 2015 I was tech lead for a modern (web based) SaaS library management system and getting it to work with RFID tags with a wrapper application was all sorts of fun and games. We got RFID library tags w

Mine's in my garage, which is breezeblock construction, and the garage doors are insulated, so it keeps it away from temperature extremes - which will cause issues with an outside battery dependending on local climate minimas and maxim

At some point though it becomes "are those improvements worth the inflated price tag" and for a LOT of people, the colour accuracy is good enough etc.

If you're going down the HomeAssistant route I'd recommend ditching any proprietary hubs and getting a Zigbee dongle instead, I've been using the Sonoff Zigbee dongle and even though it's connected to the server, in a ra

Quite - the grass is always greener. With modern understanding of composites, and complex layups with UD fibre, the "not comfortable, too stiff" is less and less true. The reduction in road buzz I got when I finally moved to CF ha

It's a large market, and more profitable than APAC and RoW per user (just look at the Meta investor presentations which show that it's US, followed by the EU then APAC and RoW[1]). [1] https://s21.q4cdn.com/3996807
