Eeek..i can't remember. I was bulding this with my kids so I had to go slow and it was my first time using a table saw. A lot of start and stop and trial and error. It was no weekend project! Take the box out of it and the rest can be done in hours

I haven't come across a reset option I'm afraid

Great idea and congrats for the upcoming nuptials

Enjoy. Mine had a lot of use. It's been great. Don't do what I did and put boiling water in it. Recently the plastic cracked from the heat. I'll be buying another one soon 😢. I'll make sure the water has cooled a bit after boiling next time.

Lol similar thought was in my head when I was scrolling through potential prints when I first got the A1. It was a quick one to do and my first which was multicolor so I said.. What the hay...Don't think I'll need it really. I do have a cat who may want to run some jobs without permission so that will stop her, other that that, any accidental spills or drops 'could' protect it. For others with kids about or where their printer is in a high movement area it could be valuable.

Gotta give a tip of the hat to the designers there

While it can power the lights, too many running at it's highest brightness can damage the board. I can't remember the safe number others have calculated online on how many LEDs you can drive but 16 was too many in my case

I did mine via usb. FYI Pibooth won't run if you don't have a camera connected to it when it starts unless you have a plugin installed for debugging that pretends there is a camera active. Might be the reason why you are having issue. I think this is a compatible list that I just googled. The DSLR needs to be compatible with gphoto2. gphoto.org/proj/libgphoto2/support.php

I haven't come across this error but if you're using the DSLR you need to add an extra variable during installation for DLSR specifically. Not sure what else it may be otherwise. Maybe not a supported model???

Before my pi cam was delivered I used a DSLR to test which worked for me. Good luck and let me know how you go

at 2:27 he tells you how in this video

I've seen some small charging modules so I don't see an issue putting one in. You can even find smaller rechargable batteries to balance out the usable space. The default battery lasted me a couple years, with the AAA's it should be much much much longer! I'm just using cheap rechargeable batteries and once they run out I'll do a quick swap with some spares I always have about so having a charging module would not be required for my use.

I've had it drop off the zigbee network a handful of times but i think that is most likely my setup. I've thought about mods to the skimmer box like you mentioned but I'll look at that down the track to be done by a professional. I don't believe absorbing will be an option for me and I'd have to drain instead. It would definitely be the better approach... Not as geeky though 😜

They call it a Bluetooth remote control battery. It seems to be proprietary as it's a battery plus the Bluetooth module in one lil unit

You sure can

My pleasure

No problem. Good luck and make sure you have fun in the process. What automation hub are you using by chance?

@geekydad8565 Thanks mate! I use OpenHAB running in a Docker container on Unraid

Cool I haven't played around with openhab for a few years now. I'm sure it doesn't look anything like I remember it

@@japostolakis It used to be pretty clunky, and there's sometimes a war between OpenHAB vs Home Assistant vs Other Solutions. But most of the time they're all serving the same purpose. It's a bit like the fairly meaningless Apple v Android rivalry. Once you're in an ecosystem you're more likle to stay in it and OpenHAB has kept up with my needs really well

Hi. The float switch is just something cheap off ebay. Anything you can find will work. It behaves like a contact switch so it's a very simple device. Let me know what other parts your interested in and I'll do my best to help

Thanks, found some on ebay and Jaycar. Everything else I have. I have ordered a Aqara water sensor, will see what it exposes in homekit or directly via the app to turn on a smart plug.

@@baddoggyauThat is awesome. Have fun!

I am going for a lay flat hose, i have read that it could solve the siphoning problem as the hose collapses without pump pressure.

Did you work this out? I can't go above 32

​@@chrisf14cf If you're still stuck, reply to this because I've just figured it out, although I'm not sure how good I'll be at explaining what the issue was. It was so confusing.

@@frumpyducky7403 yeah still got this issue

Thanks for your feedback. Feel free to provide insight how a better test can be performed

what was the ambient temp you only ran the test for a n hour and assumed basically that the larger fridge had 0 power draw maybe run the test longer so you get a better average ask kings about the leaking seal and give us some feedback on their response @@geekydad8565

also maybe a test for -5 storage to see if the consunption rate was similar do a test in your hot car showing ambient thus we have more data points.. really it is shoddy and the fact people are using your information says more about them than you and the education system in genreal

That's fairly harsh. For my use it will always be a fridge not a freezer. I initially noticed a difference while camping out in the hot summer for several days with both units running side by side. The smaller fridge had the compressor running constantly day and night while the other did not as much. This observation was proven with my tests side by side even in the cooler indoor environment in my home. A cooler room should not require a frequent run of the compressor. A hot car will mean it would happen more often. The store did not want to provide further details of this issue. They just fobbed off an excuse that even a fridge at home needs to run constantly. What I showed in my video is a comparison of two fridges of the same brand and comparing the power use in their same environment. One proved more inefficient than the other. Others online have reported the same issue with the smaller fridge and they did not have a comparison to go by. By all means, please buy the small fridge. If this is just sitting in your car while the engine is on this will not be an issue for you at all and you'll have a great experience most likely. If you plan to use it camping while off the grid you'll be disappointed if your solar is not keeping up with the demand as what happened to me. Going back to my large fridge I didn't have the problem again.

You make claims that are false or misleading

Thanks for your feedback. I find non oem capsules have the same issue with proper coffee machines too. Especially if the membrane is plastic. I've tried illy classico ground coffee. It's a mild coffee but to my liking.

Nespresso have a patent on a seal along the inside lip of the pod which creates a pressurised extraction. 3rd party pods are not allowed to do this and thus produce a different extractionz

I can't say I've come across that issue. Have you tried a different cable and charging brick?? Also make sure the battery is seated properly. Might be something to chat to the manufacturer if that doesn't fix the issue

Any follow up on this issue? I've just got one for Christmas and have had it charging for about 2 hours but doesn't seem to work when I unplug it. Just flashes as Mohamed said

I haven't heard of any developments. Please keep us updated with yours though

Still didn’t catch a solution @geekydad8565 And yes i’ve tried another cable and charger but nothing works , leds keeps flashing but its not charging.

If you can give us a contact with the manufacturer please let us know.

Hi there... Using nespresso pods will never be like a coffee shop so it won't compare. If anyone says it's the same burn em on the stake! I prefer a coffee shop any day. Didn't add this in because I thought it's a given. I did mention to my wife a few days back we should try it with ground coffee but haven't had the chance yet.

See if you can get your money back. I did. My larger fridge works great. And can keep frozen things for a while I'm fridge mode... Like a steady defrost until i need it. Just need to be careful so the frozen stuff doesn't damage vegetables which can be sensitive to the iced goods

Thanks for the feedback!

@@geekydad8565 No worries, I've literally had this device for 3 years and never knew what the L1-L2 things done and always wondering what the secondary plug was for, lol legend!

The instructions that came with it are absolutely useless! Would help if they paid for a translator to write the instructions instead of writing it in Chinglish.

Yeah you get used to it but I can why it bothers some. Mine still going strong too!

It's in between to be honest. It's warmer than luke warm. It's warm enough for me but for my wife she would like it hotter as it can cool down quickly in the cold outdoors.

Wet love doing that on the way back home from a camp site it's super convenient

No I haven't but if you come across a fix please let us know in the comments

As far as I know there is no way to disable it, but if you take the case off, you can easily locate the buzzer module and de-solder it and remove it completely from the board.

Does it screw in place without the pod? With the pod in place, when screwing it on it compresses the pod to puncture it to allow the hot water to go through it. If it works without the pod but not with it, don't be scared to put some pressure to puncture it.

You're not wrong it's a lot smaller than i expected though. I was hoping it would be a bit larger

@@geekydad8565 I've got a 1 gallon set up for sea monkey s is it smaller than that

Yeah roughly 8 times smaller lol. This fits in my hand

Thank you

Hi.. They'll coexist but they are slightly different. Sea monkey's live a little longer and are the sightest bit larger

Hi What is the start and end time for the L1 setting and what is the start and end time of the L2 setting?

@@geekydad8565 L1 is on from 8am-8pm and L2 is on from 1am to 12:59pm. I kept trying to change both L1 and L2 settings last night but it still wouldn’t turn off the uv (as in changing L2 to 8am-8pm and vice versa)

At the moment you have two timers set up and it sounds like you only want one. To disable a timer the start and end time need to be identical ie set both to 12am

@@geekydad8565 I do want the UV light on but only from 8am to 8pm and I wanted the heat on for a full 24 hour for my reptiles 😭

@@Nao-lp6zx Unless they ship models that operate differently, the L1 and L2 for me only operates the 2nd plug ie the light. This is so you can have 2 timers for the one device. The first plug ie heater will run 24/7 and controlled based on the temperature thresholds only. This is how mine works.i disabled my L2 and heater working all the time
