    Why don't telemarketers give up on unresponsive numbers?
  • Why would they? What advantage do they gain from doing so, compared to not?

    What's the Oldest Thing You Own?
  • I mean I can share pics, but it's a fairly run of the mill Victorian terrace. 11 foot ceilings and a picture rail in the lounge which is nice. A few of the original features remain. Compared to a lot of the houses in the Georgian market town I live in, mine is positively new.

    Projects fail when developers alienate their contributors. Grow up and act like an adult.

    Sonoff Motion Sensors - These are Really Bad
  • All of my wall sockets include usb power outlets, so they're all powered via those, I'm currently working on using an 18650 or 2 to power one as an experiment, but as they're WiFi and need to react in a timely manner putting the microcontroller into sleep mode isn't really an option, meaning the battery life won't be very good. The RADAR module needs a solid 5v as well so I'm not sure it will be practical.

    Sonoff Motion Sensors - These are Really Bad
  • I build my own using EspHome. I tend to use a D1 Mini as the microcontroller as it has a small footprint and a LD2411S sensor module (very cheap on AliExpress ) I'm lucky enough to have a 3d printer to make my own enclosures.

    Sonoff Motion Sensors - These are Really Bad
  • I moved all of my movement/presence sensors to mm wave RADAR, they're relatively cheap and much more reliable than PIR.

  • As much as I respect your right to this opinion, I wholeheartedly disagree. I do not need multiple flavours confusing my palette. Lemonade all the way.
