@karnauskas Photoprism is pretty good IME - not sure about the plugin side of things tho.

@Rjdlandscapes TBF the tag line is "retail crime", not "real crime" ;)

@ajobbins What would you recommend as a good OLED (65") without the frame stuff?

[Ben Jones @SumnerBoy]

@yearsprogress @TheACCnz nice

[Ben Jones @SumnerBoy]

@hardillb yep definitely

@SmartisantLtd Great write up - I am in a very similar boat to you in terms of solar/battery/ev etc. One thing I am using is a "PV diverter" for hot water heating. This means any excess solar can be diverted to hot water, rather than waiting for > 3kW. Based on https://t.co/Pk0ADVTUgF.

[Ben Jones @SumnerBoy]

@SmartisantLtd what service/api are you using for your solar predictions?

@jpmens Are you talking to your coffee cups again?

[Ben Jones @SumnerBoy]

@jpmens Sounds perfectly normal behavior to me.

[Ben Jones @SumnerBoy]

@JonathanGiles That's not minor mate, well done.

[Ben Jones @SumnerBoy]

@SmartisantLtd Very interesting project. How are you calculating the hot water percentage from your 3x temp sensor readings? I have a similar set of sensors but have never thought of calculating the % value of the tank.

@venzann Delicious

[Ben Jones @SumnerBoy]

@JonathanGiles Sounds like a good plan - glad your Wednesday is looking up ;)

[Ben Jones @SumnerBoy]

@JonathanGiles Yep I looked into HWHPs pretty closely - but with PV + Powerwall going in it made more sense to have a simple HWC with element(s) and divert excess solar during the day. From all reports HWHPs are expensive to maintain and after 4-5yrs start having problems...

[Ben Jones @SumnerBoy]

@JonathanGiles Ah sorry - misread when you said "interior of the cylinder"! Guess this is a good argument for outside cylinders...

[Ben Jones @SumnerBoy]

@JonathanGiles Do you have a drained drip tray under your indoor cylinder? My current place doesn't (only 10yrs old) but I will be definitely having one in the new place.

@1mcneilaus @jonoxer @witnessmenow we need this in the OXRS firmware also

[Ben Jones @SumnerBoy]

@sandman31 @benjamincowen we need to talk
