  • It is for me. The user manual states how much water and energy is used for each program. For the Auto program a range is given. The water consumption of the Eco program is almost identical to the worst value of the Auto program. I can measure the power consumption using a smart plug and I know that - at least for my dishes - the Auto program uses less energy than the Eco program.

  • I can only measure the electricity directly. For the water consumption I rely on the values provided by the user manual.

    I am well aware that Eco is supposed to be - well - more economic and maybe eco-friendly, but everything I read and could measure about my specific model indicate the opposite.

  • My dishwasher automatically selects it's Eco program when powered on. The Eco program uses more water and more energy than the Auto program while also taking almost twice as long. So I have an automation that triggers when my dishwasher is powered on and then selects the Auto program for me - because pressing a button to change the program after loading the dishwasher would be too much to ask.

  • But think about it: You could outsource procrastinating to it and just do other things instead - like herding puppies…

  • I think Calvin hasn't thought this through. If she fails her test she will babysit him even longer…

  • They need to train the upscaler on the remastered TNG. But I get it's a rather niche use case.

  • I am a vélociraptor…

  • Uptime Kuma is sufficient in almost every scenario. If you don't monitor the additional stats other tools provide they are basically useless anyway.

  • They are forgotten by the writers as quickly as they were invented…

  • It's really easy to use. You assign it your smart plug and it's power consumption sensor (that's the only requirement). Then you can define thresholds when the automation should trigger and actions that should take place in these events. I send a notification to my phone when the program has finished so I know exactly when I need to go and collect my laundry.

  • You can have a look here: https://zigbee.blakadder.com/ This not the database mentioned here, but a community effort for several systems. HA database has to be better than this to be useful.

  • You need to start counting from 0…

  • That depends. If it is an obvious scam (which I have only encountered once in a lot of years) I agree, but otherwise I always try to solve it first. There's a person on the other end.

  • Without knowing where you live the Gigaset GS6 comes to mind.

  • On AliExpress it can be a little bit more complicated as every seller is different and communication can take some time. But I have to agree that most sellers try to find a good solution. On the other hand the support quality on Amazon has declined dramatically. A few years ago it was almost a "no question asked" service when you contacted Amazon but this has changed. They try to pull every trick - beginning with how hard it is to actually contact a real person.

  • That's great to hear. I would have thought it would take some seconds to register.

  • How is the delay?
