Just a guy, a computer, and an ongoing attempt to work less and live more. For fun, I enjoy fiddling with my #aquarium, riding my #ebike, tinkering around with #HomeAssistant, playing #Factorio, going to #MetalShows, #Grilling, and reading about spaceships fighting. We have five cats, which are henceforth referred to as The Goblins. 📍 Richmond, VA, US
If I were a billionaire, one of my pet projects would be building high quality TV displays that did not include any smart things built in. The expectation is that a person buying these displays would use their own streaming device of choice for maximum flexibility.
Ok y'all I don't really have anywhere else to nerd out about this but I accidentally dropped my grilling thermometer into a bucket of water. Today, I'm smoking some ribs because a friend and I are going to watch the Army/Navy game and it's obvious that my thermometer is not working correctly. Instead of buying another, I have decided to roll my own using Apollo Automation TEMP-1 Temperature Sensor with three food probes connected via dallas indexing and #HomeAssistant. The goal is to have a dashboard so once I get the smoker temp dialed in, I can monitor stuff from the sofa. Plus, I can setup TTS notifications and such. I'll report back when I have everything connected.
