On this show, I play a song from Macka Diamond; goodbye Todd Cochrane; the Ryobi lawnmower both has new LiFePO4 batteries and is mowing lawns; I learned more than I want to about float voltages, battery chemistry and discharging curves; I bit the bullet and bought the factory blade controllers; I installed a power monitoring switch to keep statistics and immediately got confused between 120V and 48V; I used Home Assistant and a Zigbee switch to cobble together a more resilient wifi network; the Home Assistant ZWA-2 is in my house and talking to the mailbox motion sensor; if my lawnmower charger is on a smart switch, why not turn it off in peak electricity hours? I got the calendar based automation working first time, a new personal best; my Galaxy watch died; the Amaztim T3 Ultra is much cheaper and almost suited my needs.
