A year today since a mate and all around good bloke took his life. Rest in peace bud, we miss you here.
- Sorry to hear that man. This happens way too often, and it's horrible. I hope you get through the day ok.
Today I'm gonna see if I can work out how to calculate the water content of air based on humidity and temperature, and implement this as a template in Home Assistant.

I guess using the August–Roche–Magnus formula? But I haven't worked out how to convert it into a template yet (it's my first time using a template).

I got sick of seeing the relative humidity rise and fall with the temperature, and since it's never close to condensing I thought I'd try to get a measurement that's a bit more stable.

Edit: I went with dew point at @[email protected]'s suggestion.
- I've been meaning to get HA up and running - hopefully it's something I get stuck into soon.
  
  Got a lot of the kit for it, but just haven't had time to invest with the move and all that.
  
  What type of things do you have hooked up to HA?
  
  Literally just the humidity/temperature sensor 😆
  
  I've very new to it all. And today it seems I can't access Home Assistant from a browser, but the app works fine. The browser shows it fails to make the websocket connection. I tried turning it off and on again and now I'm all out of ideas 🙁
Sunny Friday for me, gonna catch up on some filing and reporting and cruise into the weekend.
Work pc had a meltdown so of course Microsoft decides to upgrade office on a hasty reboot.

Such is Friday!
- It's not like it was gonna be a productive day anyway.
  
  I'm willing to be productive until about half three, haha
Peter Jackson has bought the land on Shelly Bay. No development. I hope he builds penguin habitat.
- More info here: https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/business/497061/controversial-500m-shelly-bay-development-cancelled
  
  It sounds like they may be aiming for some blend of natural habitat and recreational area. Hopefully more info will come.
  
  I was always not thrilled about that development, it would have been in a location inconvenient for anyone who actually needs to work in the city - IMO the developments we need are ones meant for people who make the city run to live in.
The weeks really flown by for some reason. Can't believe its already almost the weekend :)
