You have the cybertruck, now get the only #OpenSource #thermostat to match! No, seriously though, I only have one gray case and I don't plan on making any more. I'm not even sure why I have this one to be honest. And just in case anyone actually wants this, I put an option for a silver case in the store. The case you see is what you get.

#HestiaPi

Today I tried to help move the #Proxmox provider for #terraform a little closer to a stable release. It wasn't much, but I think it helped. I also am trying to help get instructions to compile the #AirGradient One #firmware from source. If I can get people to reproduce the behavior I'm seeing, I am hopeful that we can get this nailed down. I'm keen on getting familiar with this because it is #ESP32 based, and we want to make an ESP32 based model of #HestiaPi Gotta keep at it!

You can use a #HestiaPi without a case, but it looks much better with one! #IoT #thermostat #OpenSource #OpenHardware #privacy #security #GrowNostr

From an academic paper on #privacy in #IoT #tech: "Despite all the efforts, many technical privacy challenges have remained unaddressed in IoT." https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0167404820301978 This is why we do what we do. #HestiaPi keeps everything you do 100% private. #freedom from creepy #corporations collecting as much info as they can about you and then "sharing it with their partners". #GrowNostr

My #HestiaPi adventures got me interested in #ESP32 #microcontrollers and now I'm going to become a firmware developer for the #AirGradient ONE. This is why I don't have any free time. As soon as I get 3-4 hours to myself, I find a new #OpenSource project to contribute to. #OpenHardware for life, yo!

I didn't get to build any hardware today. Life interrupted. 😅

My order of components arrived! It's like Xmas in... (checks calendar) May! I'll probably solder together a few more units soon so I can have them on standby. Heck maybe I'll even run a sale! I'm feeling on top of the world today. 🎉🎇✨

I'm going to be restocking on parts soon. I batch up orders to save on shipping and I do it by vendor to try to spread out my costs. I've managed to build up a decent inventory of the inexpensive stuff, but screens, power converters and Pi Zeros are all low. I'm sure evels will rise over time, but considering I only sell one unit every couple months, it's going to be a while. I don't have the time to run a whole advertising campaign or anything like that. I just want people to be able to have an #OpenSource #thermostat without having to source parts, order custom PCBs, solder them together, hope that they work. It should be easy to choose #FOSS #Hardware, and the software should be easy to use and reliable while respecting your #privacy! I'll die on this hill.

Getting ready to build some more #OpenSource #thermostats this week so I have them on hand, ready to ship out on a moment's notice! If this sounds interesting to you, the full details can be found at

Happy #EarthDay If you are interested in reducing e-waste and are ever considering a new #thermostat, please keep the #HestiaPi in mind. We've been supporting these open source, wifi enabled #thermostats for 5 years and counting. We will not #sunset this device and leave you hanging! We'll keep making the #hardware as long as we can get the parts. The #software will continue to be updated and features added. It's up to you to use them to save #energy.

I think I may have found the pogo pin I have been looking for. This is super exciting because it will allow me to build #HestiaPi #thermostats with a #RaspberryPi Zero 2 W AND still have a functional reset button on the side. Currently, I can build units with the Zero 2, but there's no way to reset it. Instead, you have to flip the breaker to the furnace/air conditioning to power cycle it (assuming you can't access the web interface for some reason). While this isn't the end of the world, it's nice to be able to reboot easily when necessary.

I'm doing my taxes and I found that I'm only about $115 in the hole over the past 3 years for my efforts to make #HestiaPi #thermostats available to people! This is good news because I've spent thousands of dollars on this project, so it feels really good to be almost there. Of course if I got to $1 in the black, it'd mean I was paid a dollar for literally thousands of hours of work, but I'm just going to not think about that 🫣 #FOSS #OpenSource #OpenHardware #IoT #GrowNostr

Building some new #HestaiPi boards today. What do you think? Look good to you? #OpenSource #IoT #OpenHardware #FOSS #tech #FreedomTech #hacking in the old school way.

Haven't had any #HestiaPi orders for a while. If anyone is ready to ditch their #Google #Nest and go completely open source, I'd be happy go help! No dependence on any cloud services, or even the internet for that matter. But you still get wifi contols. Pretty cool, eh?

Another Monday, another day of surfing the bug tracker for the #Terraform provider for #Proxmox. I'm short on time today, so I can't test one thing that I'd like to test, but still trying to make it clear which issues will be fixed in the upcoming version 3.0 release and what workarounds exist to get people by until the new release drops. If you think #OpenSource development is thankless, try managing the issue tracker (linking issues, reproducing issues, finding workarounds, detemining what conditions cause the failure, etc.) on a #FOSS project! It's still worth the effort though. ❤️ This is why we can have nice things.

For anyone who is just now discovering me, hello 👋. I build, maintain and sell #OpenSource #thermostats. They can be #WiFi controlled & respect your #privacy. Unlike the #Google #Nest, or the #Honeywell or #Amazon ones, they don't phone home with data about you to be sold to the highest bidder.

I spent some time of Proxmox tickets today and more time putting together some #HestiaPi kits. I'm down to 4 units left in stock, but at the rate I sell them, that's about a 4 month supply. 😂 It's all good. The people who want them are able to buy them, and that's what is most important. Selling a product that is #OpenSource, just does what it says on the tin, and is still getting upgrades nearly 5 years later isn't the type of thing people write home about, even if it is a rare gem. 😄 #OpenHardware #GrowNostr #hardware #thermostat #IoT

Wow, this one person is just being a complete ASS of the #Proxmox issue tracker lately. He just refuses to provide a simple example that illustrates the issue he claims to be having and then repeatedly insinuates that the problem is me not understanding terraform or being a bad communicator or using philosophical jargon like "simple example". It's like... look man, I'm a contributor to the Proxmox provider for #Terraform, the project that you are posting your issue to, and I spend hours every week helping people out. I'm pretty sure I can read a terraform file. The point is that I don't want to go through your complex production code which has a bunch of hardcoded things that I need to change to repro your issue, and a bunch more code that is not even related to your issue. But he absolutely refuses to meet me part way. So I'm stepping away for a bit. I don't need that toxicity in my life. 🖕

I'm working on helping people with #Proxmox again. Surfing the issue tracker, testing things out and reporting back with workarounds and information that will help get a proper fix in place. If you post on #OpenSource issue trackers: 1. Thank you 2. Please provide enough info for others to recreate the issue as easily as possible 3. If someone who is trying to help you tells you that your issue is separate from the one you commented on, and asks that you create a different issue to track that different bug, please just do it without any snide remarks We're all volunteers here. None of us get paid for our time and effort. And we are on your side, so please try to work with us. Because eventually, our patients will wear out and we'll either snap at you, ignore your posts, or both.
