Sort of deploying the Royal Navy to sink every small boat they can find in the channel, I’m struggling to see how he would stop the boats ™ in weeks.

Nice one. What software did you put on the ESP32?

This is the way. The more we ask and answer here the better for us all.

I have not studied their API, but I would expect to find commands to start movement (open and close) and stop movement, perhaps even to move a specific amount. If the commands result in random amounts of movement the product is totally useless and no control software will help.

If the API commands work in a predictable way, then it is definitely possible to control movements accurately with Home Assistant or some other suitable software that is able to talk to the API.

I would recommend Home Assistant and integration with a protocol SmartWings supports. On quick Google looks like both zigbee and z-wave are an option. Then you can control exactly from Home Assistant what they do and when.

I see, we are going meta now.

What is it with old people these days? Just lazing about and sipping lattes, probably.

They put a wrong kind of mushroom in charge. Surely it should have been a magic one, and they’d had a proper party.

I agree with Nick.

First seven characters are comments, for sorting the cards automatically if you drop them on the floor, obviously. Strictly 80 characters per line.

UK’s version of Geert Wilders, but probably a fair bit smellier for all the fags and ales he consumes.

That’s not too bad. Tesco and B&Q parking areas have worse offenders most days.

For Neil Peart I’d be happy to overlook any ethical considerations.

That’ll be piss-poor engineering.

However, wiping eyes with fresh chillies is clearly preferable to either.

Too many. And people of Clacton got what they deserved as they voted him in.

Yorkshire Dales would be my destination

Slaps are a tad harsh, don’t you think. Few firm tuts should be sufficient.

‘Operation Early Dawn’ - who comes up with the names? I’m cringing so hard my cheeks hurt!
