Is ADHD in adults where you’re in a pub and can’t switch off as you’ve realised you should just spin up another LXC container and see the results? This I shall be doing all night tonight.

And then you can hire one of you actually need one. Turned out that adding me to my brothers insurance lowered his premium. Still rarely used it. Now 25 years without a car, but do have a motorcycle.

That WSPR data MH370 thing is fucking brilliant. Has it been proved reliable by the Uni of Liverpool test? Presume so now a fresh search has been given the go ahead.

Well, that’s a record. Put some last summers defrosted meat out for the fox at 16:40 (after sunset and in the rain), it arrived within 5 minutes. Lucky young thing.

Decided to migrate from ZHA to Zigbee2MQTT the other day. Turns out my Conbee 2 stick is shit. Bought Sonoff one. Re-add everything, fix all the automations, quite the 24 hours of fun. Today I decided to now update the firmware. Zero issues, phew.

Local pub has a smart meter installed. I want to help.

Woah, big up to the wind farms at the moment, producing nearly 60% of our power. Exporting 18% to France, hope that is for a decent dollar. Personally, we should have zero transfers until gas generation is at zero.

This is the electric bill I like to see, 4 kWh and 13 pence spent. Already clawing back after the dunkelflaute.

Is there a better device? The ZBT-01?

Moving cold turkey from ZHA to Zigbee2MQTT on a Conbee 2 has been a disaster. Ordered a SONOFF Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus-E Gateway. Am I still going to be in a world of pain?

TBF, I know which ones check and which ones don’t. I was going to write in defence of the customers, but they mostly try it on claiming I stole something anyway.

Here’s my current first build of my grid page, if it helps. The markdown at the end auto puts the percentage in order.

Aha, there's proper data here ... bmrs.elexon.co.uk/remit/detail...

They'll be adding another 200MW tonight to get it to full output power.

Still using too much gas for generation though.

They boosted it by 150MW last night.

Have the national grid data going into my Home Assistant since yesterday. Quite fascinating watching the nuclear power ramping up following a refuelling, presumably at Heysham 2, Reactor 8. The EDF website isn't very reliable, but this data is better.

Absolutely stoked that Chris McCausland won #strictly … there’s no way I’d remember those routines … incredible!

Well, glad to be over that hill. But I’ve still spent less this week than if I’d been on the government rate.
