I’ve had this Shelly sensor for a long time. But never posted anything about this. Last weekend we had a -situation- in our kitchen, so what better time to test this device again!
This little disc shaped device has three metal points on its bottom side, those are the flood (water) sensors. It stay’s in sleep mode when all’s good. It does several things when it detects water.
Emits a alarm signal
Wakes-up wifi
Sends a MQTT message (when not connected to the cloud like i have) MQTT is a alarm message AND it wil send the temperature of the device!
After a while (when dry) goes back to sleep
There are connection point on the print you can use .. happy hacking!
My node-red configuration
Above is the part where the mqtt messages gets processed by Node-Red Sending it to PushOver and my little MqttLcdNotifier
Above is the MqttLcdNotifer .. there are several parts to this
Top line is from shelly flood and other notifications
Text input puts text from the NR GUI on my TV and the LCDDisplay
same parts are being used by my 3D printer when the print tool is getting TO hot, or printing is finished
Trigger at work WAS a notification for work .. nonfunc
mqttlcd-button is the mqtt message send from the display (the one that i was pushing) to stop the beeping and clears the display
Bash notify, is as previously posted a flow which i can control from my linux machines notify “compiling complete” for example. This is also being broadcast from my livingroom using speakers. (See separate post about this)
Wellll, put this in place 2 years ago, never looked at it again .. still works
Februari 2021 i made a website to view images and movies in a browser to do some quick sorting. (borrowed some code from a codepen page i recall correctly) At the time i didn´t have a good way to view webp webm media. I wanted to view multiple files at the same time, and make it short and simple.
BTW no webserver needed, just open the file from a directory! jpg’s png’s webm webp mp4 svg and animated gifs work. (maybe more, didn’t test more, whatever your browser supports)
With recent updates of the chrome browser the video attributes to mute is broken, i so made a workaround. Also everything is in one file now. Except for one issue .. i couldn´t create one file for images AND videos.
There is a piece of javascript i could not fix … yet I have to do execute a document.createElement which is different for images and videos. Also the attributes of video are mute,autoplay,loop,playinline
Last year i made a script for a friend who wanted to detect visually if his garden sprinkler was on or off. A few days ago i saw someone who wanted to see if things where moving in his house. (didn’t trust his landlord i think) But he only had a dumb/simple/cheap camera .. so it had no motion detection.
I was thinking of my script, and could easily adapt it for this usage.
Most ipcams have somekind of URL/API you can use to capture a image. Some examples below
So using below script i can capture a image, compare it to the previous, and when it’s above a certain threshold sends a email.
#!/bin/bash
# Only uses wget and image-magick
treshhold=500
fuzzyness=20%
# CHANGE WEBCAM THINGY TO OWN URL AND CREDENTIALS
wget -q "http://webcamip/cgi-bin/api.cgi?cmd=Snap&channel=0&user=user&password=password" -O previous.jpg
while true; do
wget -q "http://webcamip/cgi-bin/api.cgi?cmd=Snap&channel=0&user=user&password=password" -O current.jpg
value=$(compare -fuzz $fuzzyness previous.jpg current.jpg -metric mae diff.jpg 2>&1 | cut -f1 -d.)
if [ $value -gt $treshhold ] ; then
echo "ping $treshhold"
echo "Something moved" | mail -s "Movement" user@example.com -A diff.jpg
fi
# Comment below if you want to compare against a base line .. not previous image
cat current.jpg > previous.jpg
sleep 60
done
Example previous picture
Example current picture
I got mailed with result
Hints tips:
Use crop to detect only a part.
copy current.jpg to a second file
Use painting black a part and compair with different treshhold fuzzyness to get different hotspots.
Below detects RED, use above ide with crop to detect red/green/blue leds

The goal of this project is to have a raspberry-pi with a screen wich shows network information. It wil be using a battery, touchscreen .. maybe some status leds. When debugging network issues we want to have information when/if/how a network port works on our switches.
It should show:
dhcp ip
gateway
can access internet?
speedtest
detect if vlan tagged network packets are present on the port?
icmp test
list of detected nearby hosts?
A long time ago i played with glade and C / Perl.
But i’d rather use python so i’m looking into glade/python combi for this little project.
Glade is a gnome/GTK user interface RAD tool. (Rapid Application Development)
i’ve used zenity and yad before to create simple gui’s for bash scripts, these where only for quick and dirty solutions. (See other posts) Glade is a far better solution, but a little harder to use.
Below is a little framework i started with
Python script
import gi
gi.require_version("Gtk", "3.0")
from gi.repository import Gtk
class Handler:
def onDestroy(self, *args):
Gtk.main_quit()
def on_firstbutton_clicked(self, button):
print("Ping test")
builder = Gtk.Builder()
builder.add_from_file("mytest.glade")
builder.connect_signals(Handler())
window = builder.get_object("Main")
window.show_all()
Gtk.main()
Having a lot of devices and running a Lab wil use a lot of energy. Now with the energy crisis in Europe, i had to take a closer look at whats using power in my house.
I notished some weird usage patterns while measuring.
I’m using a few shelly power plugs, to measure devices and powerstrips.
With these devices you can control devices connected to it. On/Off/Timer etcetera. It wil measure the power usage in watts, and it even got a temperature sensor. I like the fact that it perfectly integrates into your home automation using an extensive API. curl commands to controll, and even MQTT messaging. Intergrating in Home Assistant is a breeze.
So i was monitoring a bunch of stuff using Nodered/Grafana/Homeassistant and saw some recurring usage. But being always late to check things, i made use of my ledserver i’ve build a long time ago.
This ledserver consists of a Raspberry Pi Zero, with a led string and a API written in python.
Below is autostarted on the Raspberry
( I made this ledserver for work, it showed the status of servers and services. Beside that every colleage had a range which he could use for his own scripts. I made some little bash script templates to have led funtions standard in your bash profile.
#!/usr/bin/python
# apt-get install python-flask
#

pixels.clear()
pixels.show()
@app.route("/led/<deviceName>/<color>")
def action(deviceName, color):
if deviceName == 'reset':
print ("reset")
pixels.clear()
print (deviceName)
led = int(deviceName)
s = color
r = int(s[ :2], 16)
b = int(s[2:4], 16)
g = int(s[4: ], 16)
pixels.set_pixel_rgb(led, r,g,b)
pixels.show()
templateData = {
'rled' : r,

return render_template('index.html', **templateData)

while (startled < stopled):
pixels.set_pixel_rgb(startled, r,g,b)

Now you can control the leds with a simple curl command:
So today i made a little script to show power usage.
I’m reading the current power usage from a LS120 Youless
Youless LS120 device, which you can connect to your P1 connector.
With below bash script i’m reading the webinterface and update the ledstring. I was using this ledserver for general notification usage. Below a 2 minute hack ..
I’ve got a ROM in my 6502 which can load programs at $0200. When running own programs i want to use IRQ’s, but my rom is also using IRQ routines. So i was wondering if i could ‘hijack’ this IRQ for own program purposes.
So i’ve altered the rom to use a vector in userspace.
CPU starts, getting vector from FFFC
Goto $8000 main ROM program
Setting a jmp routine on zero page $F0
4C C9 FF
4C C9 FF ; second time, first one will redirect
Running my program on $0200
Change first jmp C9 FF to my own IRQ part
Changed jmp vectors
4C 6E 02 ; jmp $026E (myprg)
4C C9 FF ; jmp $FFC9 (rom)
Run rest of program
All seems fine and dandy … buzzer is sounding, but no blinky leds. When flashing the rom with only my program, everything works .. So whats going on? .. anyone?

Got a serial connection working between the 6502 and my linux machine!
3 line serial – no hardware handshake
At the moment when a reset occurs , hello is being printed. Text typed in the minicom terminal, is echo-ed back and displayed on the LCD display.
Things learned: Do not trust internet schematics blindly!
The crystal used for the ACIA (pin 6/7 1.8432Mhz needs a 1M ohm resistor parallel over the crystal, and a 30nF capacitor from pin 7 to GND
When using a terminal emulator, and using 3 wires. Disable hardware handshake.
Keyboard rewired.
What didn´t work as planned:
New amplifier schematic for the SID. There is too much noise.
Amplifier with a LM628
Bought a dual power supply (5V and 12V). But this one has a lot of signal noise on the SID part and even my battlestation speakers!

The ATF22V10 is a Programmable Logic Device. This means you can program the logic in the chip.
Internally it looks like a big matrix of connections which you can program to connect/disconnect from certain logic.
It has just a bunch of inputs/outputs

Now we see that segment A is 1 in the case of (0,2,3,5,6,7,8,9,A,C,E,F)
When programming the PLD we can write that as: (note / means inverted a plus is OR, and * is AND) So A is 0 in case of input being (1,4,B,D)
