Latitude?

I was wondering the same thing...if the latitude of your living room is changing to the degree that you have to monitor it, you've got bigger problems than needing to automate the curtains!

Problems?

Latitude?

Oops, i meant altitude. A very variable measurement!

Your lounge changes in altitude?

Can’t be doing with all those cables and power supplies. Think I’d rather use the Raspberry to program a Stepford Wife.

Sexbot is the next project.

Raspberry Pi project more or less done. Not that I'd dare let it open or close my curtains without me being there to oversee it. It has already pulled my curtain rail down twice.

You have way too much time on your hands.

If your sexbot looks anything like that, be sure to earth yourself before mounting up.

Yeah, the contact sensors are not very reliable.

But that's the business model.
Start off with something a bit sh*te and release subsequent versions with incremental improvements to make the product a little less sh*te.
After all, that's how Dyson keep going.

Life was so much easier when you only had to decide whether to eat them on their own or with cream, now they play music and close curtains, worlds gone mad.

Don’t you mean almost close curtains.

Sexbot is the next project.

Maybe you could program it to close the curtains? Two projects in one, so to speak.

 

[Rusty Nails]

Put me down for six if you're taking orders.

Do you do them in different colours?

Curtain twitcher (tm)

Some friends of ours back in the 70s had a dusk to dawn switch fitted to their electric curtain open/close mechanism. It took them ages to get the setting just right. As they lived on a bend on a hill, at night cars headlights would open the curtains, then the curtains would close after the car went past.

My point still stands...!

Well I did mention it was derived from barometric pressure; so there's a massive change in altitude with every storm!

On average, my lounge has an altitude of 54 metres; this tells you I am the life & soul of every party.
