The most random post of the day - Introducing the smart solar wifi-enabled welsh dragon LED home assistant-powered anti-Ronski detector....

....gotta work on that title.... :D Backstory My solar panels and battery have changed the way my house runs, however I’m tired of endless arrays of apps and having to stare at a phone to understand what’s happening. You never leave someone’s home enthusing about how beautiful their phone...

forums.overclockers.co.uk

Welcome ideas for set effects/programmes of colour changes - can basically do anything using PVOutput or Solar data (or indeed any other data in the household) ....
Forgot to say in the original post, I have it pulsing red like a cylon when Ronski is ahead of me now....

If i built that, i would have it blasting out Hallelulah from my bluetooth speakers of i was top of the table for at least 1 second

Brilliant idea! Can't believe I didn't think of that - HA already hooked up to my Sonos, so can have it blasting out of every room in the house!

Piece of cake to do this, I'll do that tonight!

Actually even better, I've got a sonos speaker right under the piano here, so can have the dragon sing a welsh hymn instead....

You need more panels or that could be more often than you'd like!

Poor day today but still managed 9 kWh or so despite the endless clouds.

I know, our neighbour is also getting 11.8kw of panels installed as we speak - need to get a second to chase the solar boys to get some more installed!

11.6kwh for me so far - agree pretty cloudy all day!

Or even the true welsh anthem of “calon lan”……

Do you concur that @Ron-ski has somehow stolen our solar power? he seems to be getting all the sun lately!

We must do something.

@HungryHippos The south east is sucking up all the sun, but not sure there's going to be enough to hit 1000kWh this month, my daily average puts me at 956kWh for the month, so I need more sun, please donate your sun

You've had enough! this unlimited power you've attained has gone to your head! :cry:

Don't worry, there's plenty of rain forecast

I can imagine this palace you live in up in Scotland!

OK, who sent these round???

HungryHippos · 16 Apr 2023 at 18:38

Weaponised Seagulls, just one of our alleged options.

Be wary of the squirrels...

We had noticed an increased amount of squirrels recently, best they stay away from my solar cables.

Speaking hypothetically of course, but it's a 3-pronged assault. Aerial (Seagulls), Ground (squirrels) and Special Op forces (as yet unknown to you).

Not orchestrated at all, honest!

Ron-ski · 16 Apr 2023 at 18:48

I bet I can guess who the ring leader is

PS. Just about to nudge past 40kWh today

gpuerrilla · 16 Apr 2023 at 19:27

We were meant to send reconnaissance pigeons...

Ron-ski · 16 Apr 2023 at 19:30

40.05kWh generated, 30 exported, which brings the month to 510kWh generated and 283 exported so far.

Solar Forecast is predicting better for tomorrow, and Tuesday, but the weather is not as good either day, today it predicted 25 kWh :confused:
