Hey folks,
I am organizing a Meetup in Mönchengladbach (Germany).
Figured, some fellow Germans browser here too so here you go.
Capped at 200 people, so be quick.
We will have at least Wago and Eltako there, so you can tell them what you want 😉
If you are not in the area, there are other meetups happening as well:

See ya!
I built this rack for my product demos and home assistant demos. I organized a few home assistant meetups (50, 150 people).
But I am rebuilding because the GL.iNet berryl ax is replacing the Fritzbox.
I need to power the following:
- router 5V
- Home assistant blue 12V
- Odroid H2 15 V
- Switch 9V
- various other USB devices
- Gaming PC (is still powered by a Pico PSU)
So I went out and found this handy ugreen power supply. 8 ports and 200 Watts
I could not find any dimensions. Some brands are just annoying. So I ordered it and it looks like a good fit for 1U.
I also ordere a couple of cables which terminate to barrel jacks and have specific voltages for the devices.
Just had time to test it for 5 minutest and worked great!
I hope it does not disconnect power when I unplug and plug in new stuff.
I need to test that later.
When this works I will also create a 3D 1U mounting bracket.
Anybody have experience whit that particular unit?
I have a request for a weird use case. A picture is worth a thousand words:
You are looking down a street. Left side, a cafe, where the camera is installed.
Right side is a bench where people can sit down and take a photo via a buzzer.
That buzzer and software part is basically taken care of.
However, I am missing a good camera.
I tried the Reolink E1 Zoom, but the distance of 8 meters plus the (assuming) wide-angle lens doesn't work that great for a group photo.
The camera is behind a window. So no problem with outdoor things.
Ideally, it is connected via WiFi or the Raspberry Pi/ESP32 connected via USB to that camera, which is connected to WiFi on the RIGHT building.
I have found CCAPI from Canon.
Would that be a good option?
If yes, which camera would be suitable?
No stream needed, only photo.
Can the camera sleep, and can we be woken up via CCAPI? AI says yes, but I won't trust it until someone with experience can tell me that.
I have no clue about cameras at the moment.
