Getting increasingly uncomfortable with a number of people cheering the death of Ian Huntley. It's one small step from, effectively, thanking the person who murdered him to calling for the re-introduction of the death penalty.

Well now, the UK #Eurovision entry is a bit... different. different for us, I mean. Pretty sure it's not going to win, but a damn good attempt at kitsch europop and a damn sight better than 99% of our entries. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niMKvJ-Itq8

Successfully remotely upgraded the esp8266 lighting controllers in the camper from #Tasmota to #ESPHome. Managed to brick the two #WLED controllers so they'll need a physical connection to sort out. The single esp32 based relay board also needs a physical connection - Tasmota on that won't let me 'upgrade' to esphome firmware.
After they're all done, I've got to work out what I did with the #zigbee controller that means it's not on the network. Then I've got to program the switches...

The more I play with #HomeAssistant, the more I like it. So easy to knock up a new sensor definition, show it on a dashboard and play with it.

I want to install yet more sensors in our plant room (tank, flow, boiler, room, roofspace, external temperatures, water meter reading). Because of where they are, I would need many 5v PSUs. Considered one large PSU and running wires around, but it seemed a bit messy and lossy. Realised I have a PoE switch in there with plenty of free ports. Wondered if there was a way to pull 5v from a PoE supply and #aliexpress came to the rescue.

For weeks I've been trying to get #HACS to install on the #homeassistant VM in the camper van. For weeks it's failed - the wget of hacs.zip gets to around 80% and then bombs out. I spent hours diagnosing what on earth was happening, but couldn't get to the bottom of it. I ruled out everything - it just didn't work.
In desperation, I took a backup of the VM and spun it up in the office. It worked fine. WTF? That made no sense at all.
