New HDMI cable turned up today, but still no display from the Cerbo. Does the HDMI port need enabling? I've plugged the display into a pi, still no display as I haven't configured the pi for it. Though the display knows it's connected to something.

Seriously though David, I think you might set a new trend. It does look very good. People are going to start ogling other people electrical lockers.

I do hope you have a ups for the locker lamp? At least you don't have coloured flashing led's around the perimeter ;)

I would say we are about even David, apart from the one thing that scares the living daylights out of me. Those exposed battery terminals. That could have been frightening. I know (don't ask!).

It's so good to see an "in production " post. So much better than a "What I did" Makes me feel better about the mess I make ;)

I had considered a mains switch, but it would require heavy wire in the wrong direction. My calorifier is behind a rear wheel under the toilet.

I seldom use EHU's so not worried about having hot water day and night, remember you have a fridge on the same circuit. I don't. When solar is enough and I'm in attendance I don't mind having the Cerbo in control. I might want hot water when the SOC is not wonderful, believing that the sun will...

The down side of turning it back to off, is that the Cerbo has control. So again another switch. Unless position (2) can be all off. I don't use EHU's so not a lot of point. Got it! DPDT and use the other pole of the switch to disconnect from the SSR.

So this answers another question about turning it off. With your switch in position (1) the timer will run it's course and then turn it all off. To reset it it will require the switch moved away from position (1) and then back again. To recap. (1) Timed and then all off. (0) Cerbo control. (2)...

I know it doesn't look like it, but trying to keep things simple the water heater will be directly powered from the solid state relay. This relay is controlled from the Cerbo. As it is there is no easy way to turn the water heater off! So a single pole switch is required in the relay signal...

I have life in the box, but my HDMI connection doesn't want to work. Another cable ordered as you never know. I had toyed with the idea of mounting a touchscreen display in the door, but that would limit my options on teasing Wildebus ;) The relay in the consumer unit is showing signs of life...

I’m sure they could, but they used to be very busy and I expect sent cars elsewhere. A few mot testers on the estate.

It's the Mercedes truck dealership, DVSA (VOSA) by day and their stuff in the evenings. Or that's how it used to be.

I used to do Doncaster to Westbury in Wiltshire until I found somewhere up here to do it.

The wheels do look like they have extra offset.

The fashion used to be a small hammock over the front seats. My 608D had one.

I've seen a couple done over the years, usually ex military or emergency services.

So what device are we recommending for improved connectivity now?

Do you really need a pii or are there other connectivity options.

I'm so glad I took the eberspacher and calorifier route.
