That's a good shout, I'd forgotten about them.

Pricey, but a very ground-up open solution. Not sure if I can stomach £350 for a pi and clamps right now!

I think one day, I might go with something like that.
But admitting my own time limitations: It would probably sit in a drawer until I got around to it, joining the RGBW strip and similar ESP I bought a few years ago!

Shelly, if you're listening: Smart RCBOs would be interesting to explore.
As would a product that can handle, say, 16 clamps, and you buy the clamps separately.

Second question actually; How did you find the installation?
I'll probably get an electrician to fit, but if there are any gotchas it'd be good to know before I instruct.

They only seem to sell the 50s separately, which is a shame. £50 worth of calibrated iron, hooray (!).

Ah, brilliant. In that case, I may have the confirmation to make the order.

It's just a shame the 120A is so much more expensive! £70 vs £120.
As there is a low chance I'll be pulling more than 50A on a circuit, but I know it'll 100% happen one day if I cheap out!

Appreciate the response.
It's good to get some feedback on the integration.
I also currently use some (cheap) zigbee plug monitors, which I might replace with these down the line, thanks!

It's a well-known tune.

"How much will it cost to do this internally?"
'£50 million, and we'd need to commit to staff to maintain it. But then we'd own it, and it would be about as financially efficient as possible'
"OK, this big company says they can do a basic version for £49m, and with the first year of support for free"
'That won't even do half of it. And they'll just ramp the cost up later'
"No, this is a good plan, we should use the free market to efficiently do these things"

The project then becomes £330m once the private company quotes up including all the essentials that weren't in the original quote, but the wheels are already turning, so it happens

This was my query: Are these meetings butter-up luncheons?
Or simply a minister attending meetings that are part of their job.

Sorry for the slow reply. I'm not sure if you're even still trying to sell!
Yes, selling posts might be a little problematic.
As if we let one usual member who happens to be selling something to advertise, I'll probably end up with a modqueue full of adverts from people running a drop-shipping operation, and people saying "but you let that guy do it".

Lets maybe have a little trial: As you've got a sensible reason for selling, I wouldn't object to a one-off post with details, your region, and maybe a link to whatever ebay sale you do.

With the right investment into production automation, and classifying energy generation as a national security factor, I could see us building our own at prices that make sense.
The real kicker I guess is going to be the supply of rare earths required.

On the plus side, you can often position your cup in the often un-mixed stream to get more syrup.

not flash enough to make their Instagram account about renovating the house which I have been advised not to read as they are horrible people with bad taste

I'll take "slapping grey paint on every surface, then fitting grey laminate flooring and black gloss worktops" for $500, Alex.

That, and painting over every patch of damp with tanking rather than actually fixing it.

I like to rant about this, but it is possible to insulate old properties without causing damp and mould.
It requires understanding of how the materials work (breathability, etc), and more expensive materials, so it's often difficult to get it done for a reasonable price.

'You'll need new radiators, and ideally more insulation'
"Utterly unworkable, now fit me a new gas boiler"

(Imo, the thing really holding ashps back is the costs. Companies treating installation like a dark art, and using the government grants to print money)

I've genuinely considered moving there.

They have a radio station, and it's run by the chillest guy ever. Just playing tunes, and chatting between.

Snip, Snap, Snip, Snap.

Or in a similar vein, the ship's cat has evolved into a suave humanoid with impeccable taste in fashion.

And at the other extreme, the guy with a 10 year old photo who never logs in, listed as "software engineer".
Who has enough experience and knowledge to rebuild a social network.

Hell yeah buddy. Here at feddit us, we love april fools.
