@dansup I'm trying to submit i18n.viii.fi The nodeinfo checker says it is valid, and tells me what it sees - but submitting throws an error. I think the robots.txt should be right now - but very happy to be corrected.

OK, this is slightly weird from my #Zigbee sensors. All were installed at the same time, all have the same batteries, all started at 100% charge. After less than a week, the one in the fridge is at 62% battery 🤯 I don't know if that's the cold, or the fact […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

If anyone has a 5 metre USB-A extension cable lying around, I'd dearly love to take it out of your big-box-of-emergency-cables and give it a loving new home. Happy to pay postage (UK only). Hoping it'll solve some of my Zigbee woes 😆

OK, the #Zigbee mesh is building up. Positioning some lamps around the place seems to be working. Slightly underwhelmed with its range though. I wish #LoRaWAN had taken off for #IoT.

Our local pharmacy had walk-in availability for the new Covid vaccine. Grabbed a flu shot while I was there. Arms feel like pincushions, but a couple of jabs is better than illness. Might spend the next few days asleep while my immune system applies these updates.

Also got some of these small temperature / humidity sensors. They work pretty well. The one in my fridge *mostly* connects back to #HomeAssistant but occasionally just doesn't. I possibly need more #Zigbee sensors dotted around to form a more effective mesh.
