More boxes

[azurelunatic]

I believe I have tracked down the source of the hot electronics smell that shows up when the living room mini-split is on. It's my computer, which is currently sitting directly in the hot air path. So I am determined that I will move the tower very soon.


Mama has been sending boxes of my old stuff, now that she's no longer occupied by urgent house stuff and nursing Dad. The first one arrived Friday. The next three showed up today.

Among other things, I now have my Spock marionette, a few Star Wars items, several small boxes of tiny treasures, two baby blankets and an afghan, and most of the memorabilia associated with Nerd Camp.

I ... found my first engagement ring, in all its pewter glory.


Meanwhile, Belovedest has their ZigBee radio, after the Sengled hub started only occasionally talking to the internet. They've been muttering to themselves about assorted programming decisions.


We did not get around to moving my desk around today.

For home automation, I ended up ripping out all the wifi lights and power switch boxes and putting in zigbee versions tied to a hubitat. I went that route primarily because it had free hooks to make it play nicely with the amazon echos. It's mildly faster, and outside of the voice controls via the echos, it's all local. (I'm looking into replacing the echos with something that's local as well, but at the moment money's sorta tight for the hardware I'm going to need.)
