Blog2013 ≫ Very strange

Right now I am moving a file from the storage device on top of our book case at home onto the raspberry pi attached to the TV in the lounge. And I am at work. I could probably start this file playing on the TV right now, just to freak Clare out.

This sort of crazy open connectedness is probably the reason my home automation is starting to freak out. The TV in our room is still turning itself on and off, even when I de-authorised the remote control and took the battery out. So possibly it is a fault in the lightwaverf socket itself. I have already had one other one go wrong in the study, where the switch has stopped working and it cannot be turned off. These sockets1 look so much better than all the competition, it will be a shame if I have to ditch them for unreliability...

Also available here2 where there are reviews, also reporting some faulty hardware... I've had these for about a year now without many problems...

raspberry pi: Credit card sized super cheap computer, awesome.
