brettRecently traveled interstate so my partner could see a concert and in doing so discovered that a band I love had come to Australia a couple of years ago and I had no idea. So this morning's <a class="hashtag" href="https://brettiverse.com/tag/project" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#project</a> was ensuring that never happens again using <a class="hashtag" href="https://brettiverse.com/tag/nodered" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nodered</a> <br><br>Once a week, it'll pull <a href="http://Last.fm" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Last.fm</a>'s events page for my city and a giant radius around Melbourne/Sydney/Canberra, then try to match events against all of the artists in my music server. Any new matches will be posted to fedi with my user tagged so I get a notification.

Андрій Поданенко<p>Hi everyone,</p><p>I’d like to share some insights and observations regarding DESS mode optimization, particularly relevant for those of us in <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ukraine</span></a> navigating the complexities of grid feed-in limitations, battery SOC management, and the need for grid resilience.

DJGummikuh<p>Alright, first <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/NodeRED" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NodeRED</span></a> Question: I would like to have a timer that resets when additional messages go in. Idea is a that the light stays on for at least 90s, extended if additional movement is detected within the 90s delay period. I probably can code something with loops and re-evaluation of the delay value, but I much rather would want to know if there is a more elegant approach?</p>
DJGummikuh<p>NICE!! After some headwind caused by a misconfiguration, I just successfully ran my first <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/NodeRED" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NodeRED</span></a> flow in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/HomeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HomeAssistant</span></a>!</p>

tjhowse<p>Righteous! My new battery management logic is now producing results.The new tweak prevents power draw from the grid between 16:00 and 21:00 by pre-charging the house battery if required.</p><p>This avoids "demand charges" on our power bill. These are calculated based on the peak power draw during this time window across the month.</p><p>I've got that peak down to 200 watts, so $1 worth of demand charges, down from $14 a few months ago.</p><p><a href="https://howse.social/tags/solar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>solar</span></a> <a href="https://howse.social/tags/battery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>battery</span></a> <a href="https://howse.social/tags/homeassistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homeassistant</span></a> <a href="https://howse.social/tags/nodered" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nodered</span></a></p>
