Sorry!! "Please be aware that we’re limiting Raspberry Pi 4 to one of these computers per person."Pick me one up!my mates got home assistant ready to go on an sd card but cannot get a rpi for a good price!
Could get you a nice mug though...

Was pretty good yesterday. Even my little system generated over 6kw.

I have an old Rpi 3 I think doing nothing, is that one that people are after, or is it just Rpi 4? I didn't realise there was an Rpi shortage 
If Rpi 3 has any value I'm happy to look at selling it here on the MM or whatever for a sensible price.

MASSIVE shortage of 4s, they're sold online for 2/3/4X their ~£50 price tag.I have an old Rpi 3 I think doing nothing, is that one that people are after, or is it just Rpi 4? I didn't realise there was an Rpi shortage

3s are going for the list price of 4s, and work fine for HomeAssistant supposedly https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/raspberrypi

I have an RPI4 casually sat here but it's in use and it's my bros!
Surprising they're in such demand, what is driving it do you know?
The global microchip shortage I expect.
You can buy them no problem from their shop in Cambridge, or the pop-up I suggested, but online its a nightmare.

DAMN! Just back from London last night! I've been buying them out of habit as they're in such short supply and always handy to have a backup.

I have a pi3 I bought a while back because everyone was buying them - and then I read that stuff and I realise why I don't use it! It's just far too time consuming for someone like me to get their head around (whilst I'm fairly techy, this is way beyond me).
Soldato
Bah checked mine and it's an RPI 2 model B not a 3, boo!
Soldato
I've got one sat in a box in the loft, never got round to using, probably a 2 or 3.
Man of Honour
Is there something that you can do with it with the solar systems? I mean I've linked up Solcast API to my Givenergy account which is pretty cool - but that's as much as I can do!
Soldato
I would buy the CT and use it if it meant it could measure my import and export but when I explored the app or info it looks like you need a form of hub to do this whereas I only have the Eddi at the moment.

Stupid question - does anyone know how to get your registration code for the Eddi? Can't set up app/HA without it.
Can see serial under the unit, but can't see reg code anywhere in the device interface or written on it??

You can get it from the display. Use the buttons.

Yeah, I couldn't see it - instructions said under page two of the information page, but mine just doesn't have it??

Ah it's not connected to your hub - is it paired?
What does it say under linked devices?
