If you sense that I'm sceptical about AI, then you are 100% right! I also tested the latest #AI product from #switchbot, and they did a couple of things right. Here is how I use expensive tokens to better myself. notenoughtech.com/review/ai-mi...

AI that isn't entirely bad? - NotEnoughTech

SwitchBot AI MindClip turns conversations and thoughts into AI transcripts, summaries and tasks, but its subscription model and privacy concerns raise questions.

Last night I ran the numbers. I have 14 x 240W panels on my roof. I stored my electricity usage for almost a year. Without a battery, the excess production is wasted (sold due to the lease). Here is what I can do instead notenoughtech.com/featured/ind...

I found an almost perfect panel for my next dashboard. It's the #reTerminal E1003 from @seeedstudio.com . Check out my #TechDrop for the first impressions, and follow me if you want to see vol. 2 of the 1st dashboard for #HomeAssistant youtube.com/shorts/Rr3YF...

I found a new plugin for #TRMNL dashboard. It shows you how screwed we are each day based on 85 years of weather history. It's interesting and terrifying at the same time. You can read more about the device in my review: notenoughtech.com/review/trmnl/

I made the calculations. Based on this year's electricity usage, I would need around 5 years to pay for #indevolt solution and get full grid independence. notenoughtech.com/featured/ind...

Indevolt PowerFlex 3000 adds plug-and-play battery storage to existing solar installations, with smart home integration and expandable capacity.

Mat @notenoughtech.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Last week I had a conversation with Indevolt about how plug in power can help UK's solar power ownders locked and limited by long term leases. With their open API and modularity, I'd be able to use every kW produced by my solar panels! youtu.be/lP7WjlJq9YU

Is Indevolt a solution to my solar panel problem?

My home came with already installed solar panels on a 25year lease. I can't upgrade it or change it. There is no battery, and excess is sold back to the grid to profit the company. This is a game changer youtube.com/shorts/3yWq8...
