Get an ESP32, a temperature sensor, and 4x relay board and build your own with esphome!

If you pull the instructions for your thermostat, the wiring guide should tell you what each wire is for (because you can’t trust wire colors). From there it’s just wiring up the relays properly, getting the config built in esphome, and setting up a generic thermostat.

It sounds kinda daunting, but it’s really not super complex. The only gotchas too look out for are any of the relays that can’t be on when another relay is on. There’s a way to prevent that in esphome. I’m sure someone has made a guide on it by now. I would have made one if I had gotten my enclosure figured out before my 3D printer took a hiatus.

Neither does a smart washing machine.

Right, the max instantaneous load is the max load I was speaking of.

You just have to use an outlet rated for the max load.

As far as the esp chip goes, I was meaning more along the lines of using a sensor of some sort.

I have one of the sprayer handle bidets, and I will often rinse off my balls and taint first. That way they can dry while I take a shit.

Or just a smart outlet that can track power consumption. Plenty of options that work locally with HA.

But I’d definitely fire up the 3D printer and grab an ESP chip if I was doing this at home.

You can get smart couches right now.

I had the same bait and switch, but it’s how I learned I really like open ear headphones vs the actual bone conduction ones I bought after.

Have you tried working with a physical therapist to figure out a routine you can do? I have a few injuries (torn labrum in both shoulders and torn meniscus) and I’ve been able to modify things so I don’t exasperate them.

Well, they fucked each other a few times before the husband figured it out. This is the scene where he gives them his blessing, then they have a 3-way (off camera)

I just assumed that every podiatrist has a foot fetish.

This kinda happened to me once with a big thing of cheese mix we heated up in the fryer instead of using the microwave. Luckily it only spilled a bit, and I was wearing gloves (although I still got second degree burns on my hands)

Yeah, it’s not uncommon to see accounts that are like 10 years old but never posted much start spamming.

It’s about account age for the most part. New accounts are easy to flag as spam.

Yeah, I have 3x short entries on my resume for the same job. Company changed owners and name, then the company that contracted us hired me directly.

Depending on the amount of power they are generating, they could be hitting the limit of production at peak times. The grow houses could also be exceeding the rated capacity of residential equipment.

Around here the power companies will tell you to set your thermostat higher to reduce load on the grid during heat waves. (Or just change it themselves if you opted for a reduced rate to allow them to do so)

Because he’s the one who told trump to make them.

Polar bears, for one. Their politicians for two.

Kinda. There was this guy who was somehow related to the owner of the company. He got a new laptop, and wanted me to install some stuff on it.

At the time, one tech always had to be in the call queue, and that tech was me. I told him, “hey. I’m stuck in queue and I’m on a call. You can either bring me your laptop so I can install it when I’m done, you can wait until I can get out of queue, or you can put in a ticket and maybe someone can remote in and take care of it.”

He went and told my boss’s boss that I wouldn’t install his shit unless he put in a ticket (a thing we were explicitly not allowed to say).

Grand boss calls me in, let’s dude tell his side of the story, then asks if it was true. My vision goes red for the first time since middle school, and I said, “absolutely not,” and recounted what actually happened. He says, thank you, you’re dismissed.

I go outside and smoke half a pack of cigarettes before my boss’s boss comes outside and says, “thanks, man. I was looking for rope to hang that asshole with. You’re good.”

If it’s not now, it will in the future.

If someone is asking strangers for help to stop a behavior, you should believe that the behavior is an issue.

Would you ask this if the question was about alcohol?
