I bought a cheap Xiaomi because it has wifi, the remote control and monitoring interest wore off but its a great device in it’s own right. Produces excellent rice and is very easy to clean. Quick wipe of the non-stick bowl, run the steam chimney under the tap, done.
Probably not exactly what you have in mind, but I’d still recommend The Reality Dysfunction (and the other two books in the Night’s Dawn Trilogy) by Peter F Hamilton.
Thanks! This looks good, took me a while to figure out the playlist and stream relationship but seems to work well.
This looks like the kind of thing I’m looking for, thanks! Am trying it out.
Thanks, nice app!
I find the VLC Android app a bit odd for audio only. There’s a lot of wasted space and I can’t see the name or metadata very clearly.
I agree it works, and I didn’t know about the shortcuts and will try that.
VLC is amazing, but it doesn’t feel like the best tool for this.

Most things by Snow Tha Product - start with ‘Butter’ or ‘No Cap In My Captions’.
Thanks - I’m looking for a pad with no other features other than the USB output, but this does have that outlet.
Nice, thanks! That’s the sort of thing, especially the second one that has USB-C out as well. Neat.

In the 70s we had a cassette tape kids story about a wizard who lived in a mountain and kept all the winds in a box.
The story was about someone who went in and retrieved the winds.
It involved blowing up sections of passageways (the narrator talked of lighting the blue touchpaper), and the wizard woke up and chased the hero.
He had a walking stick so his steps were reproduced including that, and he was calling, “My wind! Somebody’s stolen my wind!”.
I think it was probably on the front of a magazine or something. I don’t know if it’s a traditional story or something written for that production but I thought it was brilliant at the time.
Perfect :)
Fast! Page isn’t loading for me now in Chrome or FF (loads but the scroll will not).
Nice work! Quick typo on your website - should be, ‘anything you can imagine’, not ‘anything you can image’.
I’m interested in what other people have found to be the fastest way to deliver events into HA. It’s been a useful thread.
I have a wired device sending HTTP POST updates very regularly (often more than one per second) and if I watch those arrive, they appear almost instantaneous. If the sending device used IP (or, more likely, had cached the lookup) I guess that would be fast too.
Good point about the MQTT persistence, cheers.
It’s probably marginally faster from the dashboard. This isn’t only about the ZigBee delay though - it’s really perfectly OK. Reducing latency is as much for the fun of it than anything else. I’m interested in knowing what the fastest possible input method is.
Step up in this motherfucker just a-swingin’ my hair.
