Air have a "dumb" air conditioning unit. It has only an infrared remote and nothing more.
I thought about buying something to mimic the signal to add a remote in #HomeAssistant. But most of the time I use the same settings and just wanted to make it on or off.
So I put it in a smart plug for 5€ and add a finger bot for 6€ and voila. I have a smart air conditioning unit and can control it via Home Assistant and see it's status.
As a bonus I know exactly how expensive it is to run these things (holy cow 😱). But as I'm extremely sensitive to heat it's definitely worth it.
@leitmedium Mich macht ein bisschen fertig, dass das gar nicht eingeordnet wird. Autismus wird hier die ganze Zeit von allen Parteien als negativ dargestellt. What the fuck!?
Worry about the health of your child? Sleepless nights? Just feel exhausted all the time? Awesome! Your biological clock will never notice that the time shifted one hour!
And for a bonus: The sun rises and sets later than before and you've no idea why, as you don't notice that the time change was this weekend.
My old home office fidget toy broke a few days ago and I constantly struggled to find something new to toy around with but have no time to search for a replacement.
Interessant. #Meta möchte nicht nur volle Kompatibilität zu Mastodon, sondern auch ermöglichen, dass man seinen Account von #Threads zu Mastodon umziehen kann. Inklusive aller Follower. Also so, als würde man bei Mastodon Instanzen wechseln.
Oh cool, die Home-Taste der #AppleTV Fernbedienung funktioniert nicht mehr. Gut, dass die kein bisschen relevant ist oder so.
Ich hasse diese neue Fernbedienung ja eh schon, aber dass die jetzt nicht mal langlebig ist, macht es noch schlimmer.
Und natürlich kann man die alte Fernbedienung auch nicht nachkaufen. Immer toll, wenn man seinen Fernseher nur noch "vernünftig" mit dem Smartphone bedienen kann.
It's mind boggling how JavaScript guys always find the most complicated and least maintainable solution to extremely simple problems…
Thought I could finish a small ticket at work before I stop working and now I just want to sleep… I know, look at 5 developers and you find 6-7 solutions to a problem. But why are so many developers creating more problems when they try to solve one?
Instead of 1-2 hours coding it will take me the whole next day to refactor this mess…
I like how the #watchOS changelog just says »This update provides important bug fixes and and addresses an issue that could cause the battery to drain more quickly for some users«.
They don't say fix. They address it. And yeah, it just got worse. Nice job apple! 😅
