It's a cheap but quite well made Chinese brand Carplay screen.

Also available without the cameras.

I'm really impressed with it, but bear in mind it's hard-wired

Re: Mr Postman
Mainly nodered and home assistant with a few solar prediction modules and weather forecasting modules. I ran them all on one pi with docker.
Solar assistant looks interesting though. Not sure it was available when I did it. The new project will have lots of solar so interested to see what you do.

Re: Mr Postman
Let us know how you get on with the HydroUK stuff, they work out of a unit a few doors down from my Son's gymnastics class and I've been thinking of paying a visit.

Re: Mr Postman
A mini-fridge, this one is just big enough for a pair of insulin pens which are very similar to my growth hormone which I have to take and is more fussy about temperature than insulin. It's a bit more manageable than the last one which with it's 12v backup battery filled a 65L topbox.
In this little box is all the electronics and a battery with enough guts to run it for 6-10 hours.

Re: Mr Postman
That’s crazy!! Didn’t know they made them that size. So glad you have a great option to help maintain your health needs without impacting your lifestyle as much!
