Why would they? What advantage do they gain from doing so, compared to not?

Show me a professional competitive gamer who plays with a controller. I'll wait.

What's the Oldest Thing You Own? in c/asklemmy

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

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.

Quite the ego you have there, I bet you're fun at parties.

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

Sonoff Motion Sensors - These are Really Bad in c/homeassistant

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

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.

This is the sensor module: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005921080708.html?spm=a2g0n.order_detail.order_detail_item.3.496af19cSQkowI

This is the microcontroller: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006018009983.html

This is the project on GitHub I use for the HA integration: https://github.com/Chreece/LD2411S-ESPHome

And the case I use is on this project for a very similar setup to mine: https://github.com/igiannakas/mmWave-Presense-Sensor-D1-Mini-DFRobot-/tree/main

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.
