  • IR transmitters

    Are you into that? I recently started fighting with my stupid ceiling fans and their IR remotes. Would like to get them into HomeAssistant, but are IR transmitters any good across rooms? Or would you have a transmitters right by the receiver and the transmitter speaks some other language for longer distance communication?




  • Close I would say. Never played pickleball so I can’t point out the exact differences, but this is for ‘Speckbrett’. There is no proper english term (baconboard would be the literal translation I guess lol) and it is very local to the Münsterland - an area in Germany. It is like a cheap tennis I would say - the weird rackets originated from cutting boards. And you play with a tennis ball, not a plastic ball.













  • Thx for the input, appreciate it! Do you have some references to work with here? I can’t quite work out what you mean by vents - like something that leads directly outside? (this might be a language issue on my side, sorry) I never expected this to be on the level of an industrial unit, but my unit looks hardly worse than those cheap extractors you can find online (which of course does not mean that either is great). And I can’t quite justify spending multiple hundred euros on an industrial unit (even with health in mind)






  • With the intention of getting into 3D printing myself, I spend quite some time researching printers. Prusa checks many of my requirements and I love their approach. But the printers really seem a lot more pricey in comparison to what the competition has to offer. I get where that comes from and I’m likely to get a Prusa in the end just because of principles. But this is someone you have to consider I guess.
