  • This is the way. The ‘smart’ is already in home assistant. You need a temp sensor (or a few) and the actuators to trigger the HVAC equipment. There are numerous ‘smart thermostat’ integrations already and modules that handles the PID math for those who want to roll their own.

    Any third party product with code you can’t inspect or replace is less secure. In this case, there is no compelling case for a commercial product.



  • Extruded aluminum of that type is insanely stable and easy enough to build for a reasonably handy person.

    You only need a cheap cutoff saw and a drill, or you can order pre-cut and ore-drilled pieces to order.

    There are a number of makers of extruded aluminum building systems, basically tinkertoys for adults. I have personal experience using 80/20 and the Tslots brands. They are functionally identical.

    I have used it to build stands for heavy equipment like ultra-cold freezers for labs. It is more than sufficient for any server racking.

    That’s it. I am going as a gravity well this year.

    I will wear plain clothes and go up to the person in my social circle most likely to ‘get it’.

    I will hug them, not let go while I explain the idea in their ear. We have to go everywhere together that evening with the explicit purpose of recruiting others in that mission. There is no leader of a gravity well, except the center of mass. Which means things might get goofy.

    If I can’t convince anyone to play, I will take that big tiddy goth girl and her friends up on their offer to play xbox.
