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

A raspberry pi. Black Friday bargain.

Planning on working out how to automate the solar inverter a bit better and adjust charging levels depending on the next day predicted solar

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.

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.

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.

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!
