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?

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.

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

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!

Fake! The spine is not going to carry weight.

That’s one expensive takeway. I hope it was tasty.

Makes me wonder, is either of them interested in cyber security?

The only thing I’d be breaking is a few bones!
