It was a bit of a pain to work with, but I think it was more the SDK/implementation than the spec itself. Iirc this company had created its own "mesh" before the official Bluetooth spec so working backwards to conform to the official spec was rough.
There were a few annoying limitations around max hops and leader election that were tricky. This mesh needed to have a single "gateway" node to go between the mesh and a normal BLE connection to the phone.
I still think BLE mesh is a better solution than ZigBee/Z-Wave.
I don't know if there's been good progress on client SDKs to have an easier time interacting with BLE. Getting bluez to do what I wanted was not simple, and a lot of the time it wasn't compatible with hardware.
USD is backed by the value and legitimacy of the world's largest economy and world's largest military. I don't think Tether has that kind of track record...
This technique works incredibly well with berries.
I've had issues with fermenting mashes in bags in the past. My suspicion is that blending ahead of time may have killed natural lactic acid bacteria on the vegetables. So, you could counter this by adding some ferment brine at the end (e.g., from store-bought kimchi). But, I now blend for the final texture after the fermentation rather than before.
I've ordered from Dan a number of times. The service, recommendations, and packaging are remarkable. Each tin has a little tidbit about its strengths. Honestly, anyone who enjoys seafood should get a sample box.
I've found openHAB to be quite stable. Setup is pretty heavyweight but I've just had it chugging along happily managing BLE, Z-Wave, a few cameras, etc.
Ditto. Even across upgrades it’s had very, very few issues - and I’m using it for both a bevy of normal home automation stuff, and to manage isolated power and water microgrids for several homesteads - routing power, switching dump loads on and off, balancing battery banks, monitoring tank levels, running pumps, alerting on low flow states (time to change a filter), and all the rest. It’s mission critical for us, and hasn’t let us down in the two years it’s been running the show.
