@Amys_Kapers @troyhunt Ours was a Daikin but didn’t have that wall unit, just a remote control. @the_snook used LIRC + Raspberry Pi + IR blaster sitting across the room. Original version had a webhook that I built an Alexa Skill for, but then he integrated directly with Home Assistant.


@MichelePlayfair @Amys_Kapers @damovisa Um… actually I kind of like that ball of yarn. As a knitter, I appreciate it as an objet d’art. (I wouldn’t drop $17K on one, mind you.)


@darkosubotica This is why I have a “Good Stuff” file with your name on it! 🙂



Important Note

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
