I have a rainwater tank, and I use an esp32 (nodemcu) flashed with Tasmota, and a waterproof ultrasonic sensor to measure water level.

True, but I really appreciate that someone is doing it. (It’s far beyond my capabilities…)

Or use this…

I’m just running them independently. Although the proxmox helper scripts automate the creation of a load of bits that I use. https://community-scripts.github.io/ProxmoxVE/

I don’t run much, just a Debian-vm, Unifi docker, Jellyfin and Jellyseer (and some *arr) apps.

I grabbed a cheap Dell Wyze from eBay, then stuck proxmox on it, then Home Assistant in a VM. Works beautifully, plus I can run other VMs and containers. Plus snapshots etc. It runs at 5w idle and 15w under load.

Hate to say it, but unless you go for air-con, just a standard pedestal fan works way better than the evaporative coolers.

Green bin day for me (tomorrow morning), so get up, fry up, watch footie, mow the grass that hasn’t been touched for a month, bit of other gardening to tidy up / fill bin. Curry out with mates for supper.

Looks like a Jersey Tiger moth
