I get a notification on my phone when the power goes off or on - but my phone automatically mutes at 10pm so nothing disturbs me :D

Please do share what setup you have that Loadshedding doesn't affect you.

Not to mention the criminals take opportunity during this time, they've already started attempting at houses around us...

Hence the alarm and cameras :)

If the TV turns on, was it on before loadshedding? Sometimes they cache the "on" state in memory.

Nope, I think it's a CEC thing, I've disabled auto turn on so will see if that fixes it.

I've just got a "dumb" inverter, similar to the Ellies black bricks. I've had to leave the cupboard door open for ventilation, going to use an old pc fan so can have the door closed, hopefully won't hear the beep from the bedroom anymore. If that fails I'll just prestik the speaker...

Genius, I thought they only came in those teeny tiny versions, found a 15cm which will work nicely, will be installing this evening :)

Those fans will cost a fortune to import individually, will only make sense as a bulk shipment. We can do that no problem but then I have to offload 1000 of the things, I'm not really into selling stock of that magnitude. But hey if you want to do it pop thorough a request.

May I chime in hear:

Can you share the link to those 15 cm fans?
The ones I have seen are tiny and won't help much.

i mean it all depends what you want to do, if it is a lot of custom stuff imo you might struggle. your inverter for example has great features you can use to integrate, you can literally speak to your inverter 3 ways, modbus, rest or mqtt, Take mine for example, you cant talk to it so you need to do multiple custom work arounds.
