s0 Traingirl EraGonna re-post my guide for anyone with a Mitsubishi Electric split-system Air con from the last 10ish years, on how to integrate it with Home Assistant/ESPHome for $20 with one extremely easy, reversible, safe hardware addition!

I also built an automation to run it in fan only mode on low for 15 minutes after being on cooling, to evaporate the moisture inside that otherwise leaves to building up mould.<a href="https://cathode.church/tags/tinkering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#tinkering</a> <a href="https://cathode.church/tags/homeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#homeAssistant</a> <a href="https://cathode.church/tags/homeAutomation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#homeAutomation</a> <a href="https://cathode.church/tags/ESPHome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ESPHome</a>

Otto RaskI wonder how many signatures we could get for an EU initiative that would require manufacturers to sell same quality "dumb" counterparts to their regular "smart" offerings of appliances and electronics, at the same or lower price.Dumb TVs, washing machines, coffee makers, toothbrushes, etc. that would not require apps, wifi, bluetooth, phoning home, ads, etc.Remove anything extra that is not required for the core use case of the product.<a href="https://piipitin.fi/tags/ConsumerRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ConsumerRights</a> <a href="https://piipitin.fi/tags/SmartHome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SmartHome</a> <a href="https://piipitin.fi/tags/HomeAutomation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HomeAutomation</a> <a href="https://piipitin.fi/tags/SmartTV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SmartTV</a>

Paco Hope #resistOK, so I got some preliminary results. I used <a href="https://github.com/Th3NiKo/Video-heatmap" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">this video heatmap tool</a>.My video was pretty crappy. The camera wasn't well placed. But it's kinda neat for a first attempt.There's a couple hot areas at the top left and bottom right. The top left is a spillway in the pool that has water constantly moving. And I think the bottom right is just grass/bushes blowing in the wind.I took the video and compressed it down quite a bit, so it's an hour's worth of motion in 20 seconds. Pretty neat.It did confirm my suspicions that the robot gets stuck in the corners a lot and doesn't do a lot of longitudinal runs. This is only the first hour out of 3, though, so it's possible it did more later. <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/video" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#video</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/swimmingpool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#swimmingpool</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/homeautomation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#homeautomation</a>

Paco Hope #resistOk. Here's a 10-second sample of what I got. 3 things went wrong.<ol><li>The gopro has some "automatic" get-the-orientation-wrong sensor. It decided this was a portrait mode video.</li><li>It's impossible to see, from the ground, what the video looks like when it's all the way up. So it's not really focused on the pool well. There's a whole chunk of pool excluded.</li><li>I only got about an hour, but the poomba battery lasted 3.5 hours. I have power I can tap, so next time I try this I will plug the camera in.</li></ol>Still, I have enough video to experiment with. I also need to see whether the wide-angle lens is necessary, or whether I can get it with linear focus instead.I'm curious how much it gets stuck in the corners. Unlike a lot of pools, there isn't a straight line in my pool. It's a curvy, asymmetric shape. Some of the curvature is obviously the fishbowl effect from the lens. But there really aren't any straight lines.<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/swimmingpool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#swimmingpool</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/homeautomation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#homeautomation</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/video" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#video</a>
