Thanks. The mill is utter trash though, which I modded as much as I could (the pink part is a 3d printed funnel), the wheels are not grippy enough, the knurling isn’t deep enough and I end up having to push the grain with my fingers and it’s very tedious and slow. I spent an hour milling a 5 kg of grain. It wasn’t even finely ground. It’s the next thing I’ll upgrade, as soon as I find a good brand/model.

This looks the most promising. I’ll take a closer look. Does it provide a rtsp stream?

Any PC that has virtualization features can be used. Unless it’s very old, I’d say it’s supported. But it may not be enabled in the bios by default. It’s called VT-x for Intel and AMD-v for AMD, I think. But both are supported for at least 10 years on almost any PC.

It’s a hypervisor level virtual machine host and you can use it to install multiple os’s on the same machine with little overhead. I’ve been running haos like that for a few months now and I’m super satisfied.

Yes, for one device, I’d do wifi too. ZigBee does add complexity, but it also adds many possibilities. Esphome is a good solution, I use it also. In fact it seemlessly integrates with HA, so it doesn’t matter

One of the bigger reasons is ZigBee is capable of mesh network forming, which is useful if you want more devices to be smart. It’s also low power. And the devices are in their private network isolated from the internet, which is also a desirable quality. In summary, ZigBee is built for smart devices, whereas wifi not so much.

Well, I don’t have much experience on that, especially long term, but for a relatively fresh batch, the taste is great, even for a relatively hoppy beer (it’s an APA). And throughout a few weeks, it hasn’t changed. And it for sure won’t last anywhere near 3 months.

I’m in the middle of drinking my first keg fermented beer, straight from the fermentor. I also used a spunding valve and had zero problems. Beyond spunding valve and a prv, some measures you can take are:

• leave lots of headspace
• get on the higher side of pressure, this will further lower the krausen
• you can get one of the 1.5 inch tri-clamp lids for a corny keg and fit it with an additional prv and/or spunding valve. I plan on eventually trying that.

That being said unless you overfill the corny keg, I don’t think you have anything to worry about. I used 15 liters of wort and didn’t have any issues even when I opened a prv and krausen quickly started rising. It still didn’t blow out.

I have a newer ZigBee 3.0 dongle and run a few add-ons, but nothing big - z2m, nodered, mosquito is all I use. I will upgrade anyway, but I’m not in a hurry, it works fine, apart from an occasional delay in switching, which might be network related.

When you switched from pi3 to NUC , did you notice any performance improvements? I’m asking because I run my setup on a rpi3 and it mostly works ok, but the latency is sometimes high, so I’m wondering if upgrading the host will improve things.
