How much energy could your Micro Hydro generate?
I’ve created a online calculator for predicting how much energy a micro hydro could output.

LoraWAN TTN Mapper
ttnmapper.org/ github.com/ricaun/esp32-ttnmapper-gps // Set up the channels used by the Things Network, which corresponds // to the defaults of most gateways. Without this, only three base // channels from the LoRaWAN specification are used, which certainly // works, so it is good for debugging, but can overload those // frequencies, so be sure to configure the full frequency range of // your network here (unless your network autoconfigures them). // Setting up channels should happen after LMIC_setSession, as that //…

Moes QS-WiFi-D01 Dimmer
This device can currently be flashed to tasmota with Tuya-convert. The advice on blakadder.github.io/templates/qs-wifi_D01_dimmer.html was great and suggested compiling tasmota with scripting and setting up the following script to get the dimming working gist.github.com/thxthx0/c22555f6ec25c3367264729a0ff74dce#file-wifi-dimmer-script-txt Once the device is all setup correctly a command can be issued via the Tasmota console to make it appear in Home Assistant, Enables MQTT discovery: SetOption19 1 Light brightness can now be fully controlled
Home Assistant: Fix the entity IDs for zigbee2mqtt devices
New Zigbee devices might get setup in Home Assistant before you get a chance to setup friendly names in the zigbee2mqtt config file: /home/user/docker/hassio/share/zigbee2mqtt/devices.yaml If this happens a fix is as follows: stop home assistant clear the incorrect entities from: /home/user/docker/hassio/homeassistant/.storage/core.entity_registry restart home assistant and the zigbee2mqtt devices should now be in home assistant with the correct friendly entity IDs
