@scenic radish python makes it easy to load data from spreadsheets for further analytics - With Jupyter Notebooks, you can plot, apply all kinds of mathematical formulas, even run machine learning to predict things...etc

#

@forest edge there was a guy who had his leg amputated because he has covid, and blood clot in his leg - no way for the doctors to save him without amputation

@scenic radish one thing I can tell you for sure is if you master python using Jupyter Notebooks, you can start demanding more money

@gentle ferry you can make just about all of them "smart"

yeah, i would avoid specifically buying a smart one, they will likely require some cloud connectivity

a lot of them come with RF built in which you can control that way. I am using shelly 2.5 to control several fans in my house BUT, i cannot change the fan speed with it

@gentle ferry does it have two switches to control fan/light ?

yes but not wired to switch that way ....

sour escarp Apr 23, 2020, 10:49 PM

luckily in my house they wired separate switches for them too 🙂

#

it would suck but you could make the power to the fan constant and install a shelly 2.5 above the fan to control both but you lose your switch which I personally wouldn't do but it is an option

hushed basalt Apr 24, 2020, 5:46 AM

@rare condor pros and cons

#

Nodered is node obviously, and it may appear like visual programming on the surface but you'll basically be writing your own JS functions in a bunch of nodes to do half the stuff you need to

#

Since I know python I find the trigger/condtion/action a bit limiting

#

I've been meaning to jump into appdaemon but I'm too time poor

rare condor Apr 24, 2020, 6:13 AM

#

I don't really want to use a new thing for a single purpose but nodered can be triggered by TCP commands natively, the TCP sensor in HASS only does Sensor and Binary Sensor which polls so I was going to try nodered out for this single purpose

clever mortar Apr 24, 2020, 6:20 AM

#

Don't forget that a bunch of folks use AppDaemon for automations...

steady oxide Apr 24, 2020, 6:23 AM

could you use a python script to do what you want? choose a general trigger and exit the script quickly if it isnt meant to fire

Those bottom left hand corner cables

#

The two cream ones

#

My guess is they're running to phone sockets in your house

#

The street cable would be connected to those

rare condor Apr 25, 2020, 4:51 AM

#

I thought so but they measure 415v so I guess so they are 2 of 3 phase

Eek

anyway best to leave it I think, if I don't touch it I am not liable

As annoying as our electrical laws are here, this is why we have them

rare condor Apr 25, 2020, 4:55 AM

#

Yeah I forget stupid people exist

#

I'll be honest I do all my wiring but I hold a Grade D electrical license, work in industrial electrical and I am Electrical Engineer

#

when people do garbage like above its scary and explains why the laws exist

hushed basalt Apr 25, 2020, 4:58 AM

Yeah you're in the 0.1% of Australians who knows what they're doing

#

If I was in Vic I would help you clean up that shenanigans

I will get the landlord to fix it (not my property), its a hazard and my family member should not be sleeping there given how dangerous it is

Good lord. Homeowner special right there

hushed basalt Apr 25, 2020, 5:01 AM

Ah so not your house. Yeah I'd get them to do it

Super dangerous

#

Even by American standards that's bad

I got the OG FTTP @hushed basalt runs like a dream. I could pay for 230mbps if I wanted but the price is excessive

:'(

#

Still not as good as NZ though

tough igloo Apr 25, 2020, 7:15 AM

Yes but they have always been miles ahead 😂 and I feel bad they have to put up with our shit constantly

@sleek cove interesting, I'm prototyping my greenhouse V2 now

#

@tough igloo what is excessive?

tough igloo Apr 25, 2020, 7:39 AM

#

$1 per Mbps

#

So $230 a month

clear ferry Apr 25, 2020, 7:39 AM

#

Oooooof

#

I thought our gigabit was excessive, at $120

tough igloo Apr 25, 2020, 7:40 AM

#

That’s a good price

clear ferry Apr 25, 2020, 7:40 AM

1000/1000 though

#

None of these American 2500/4

With limiting after 20MB transferred

I was wondering why you had hot and cold water

#

I only have a 5sqm greenhouse blobsweat

sleek cove Apr 25, 2020, 7:45 AM

#

yeh i am pushing this to the next level i guess

#

but i guess i still have a few more things to add things hass keeps track off currently in the park: Alarm systems, Gates, Groundwater rain pump thing, Garden house, some climate thing in other buildings, solar power, energy usage, weather local (altho its a bit down atm after a power spike) and i prob forgot a few things

#

ground water levels, surface water levels

#

plans of stuff to add: bee sensors (hive weight, temp, noise), second well pump controls, controls for the 2 new buildings there building

#

PS most of the controls to relays/inputs/outputs around the park are done true modbus tcp or rtuovertcp

#

about 1/3 of the sensors are lora over TTN

#

at some point we hope to also publish a lot of the dataset we keep for example what the ground water levels are doing true-out the year

clear ferry Apr 25, 2020, 8:06 AM

#

All those things can be done with home assistant for sure

#

And a lot of esp stuff

#

Sounds like a great use case for grafana and influx too
