    40km of electric range is really poor for a 2026 PHEV though

    Home Assistant & Heat Pump (Smart Life application)

    Ok, I managed to get it into the Smartlife app, but when adding it to Home Assistant through the Midea AC Lan integration, the sensor values are nonsense. Will do some digging and see if I can resolve

    Home Assistant & Heat Pump (Smart Life application)

    So it seems ITS have changed something, and the pool heat pumps no longer work with Tuya Smart. For mine which arrived last week I had to use an app called iLetComfort. Bit of a pain as that doesn't integrate with Home Assistant, which I was banking on.

    Yup, first printer. The S1 comes about 80% assembled. Assembly is literally: - Screw in gantry - Screw in sprite extruder/hotend - Clip on filament holder - Screw in screen holder, put on screen - Plug in about 7 plugs Done. Then you do an auto-level, adjust z-offset, print. (And yes, SA...

    Got my Ender 3 S1 yesterday. Setup took 15mins, first print another 30 after that. Been printing pretty much non-stop since. Really impressed with how easy this makes things. Flexi-rexi turned out great too

    Thoughts on the Ender 3 v2 vs the newer Ender 3 S1? Availability aside, some back of the napkin calcs seem to suggest that, if you bought a v2, and then upgraded the extruder, hot-end, bed-springs, bed-plate, ptfe tubing, and added dual Z; then you'd end up at around R8k, which is probably what...

    Has anyone bought from DC 3D Printers? https://dc3dprinters.co.za/ Got a special on the Ender 3 v2 at the moment (R4999 + 2 rolls of PLA), seems like a good deal.
