Anyone have experience with this MagicMirror module? I can't get it to talk to HomeAssistant. I realize this may be something to post on MM which I have, just trying both paths as the thread I found was 2 years since the last post.

Interesting. I've not heard of this new battery technology before. Sodium should be much more easily sourced I would think. We'll see, but for the meantime I'll hang onto my phone as long as possible and not buy lithium battery powered vehicles. Most people don't know about the working conditions that those children and adults are exposed to while mining lithium and Cobalt.

The biggest hurdle that needs to be overcome in my own eyes is how we source the precious metals for the batteries. Look up Lithium and Cobalt mines in Africa. Of course this applies to all lithium batteries (phones and cars being the biggest players).

I've been using tasker to manage my ringer profiles for so long I didn't even realize this. When at work (within radius) and connected to the office WiFi the ringer is set to 1 out of 7 level. When out in the manufacturing facility it's disconnected from WiFi and I'm still inside the radius so the ringer goes to 7 out of 7 level. Works like a charm!
