March 30, 20233 yr Hi All, there seems to be a global shortage of raspberry PI’s, does anyone have one for sale?
March 30, 20233 yr If you need it for Solar Assistant, your best bet is to buy it with Orange Pi: https://solar-assistant.io/shop/products/device_opi3lts
March 30, 20233 yr Author Thank you, my issue is I bought the software first thinking it would be easier (cheaper) to get the device separately and install and configure the software….so now I’m stuck😳
March 31, 20233 yr For Home assistant or Solar Assistant (kinda overkill), you could use this: https://www.pishop.co.za/store/official-raspberry-pi-400-desktop-kit-with-official-us-keyboard-official-mouse-official-eu-power-supply-official-hdmi-cable-and-raspberry-pi-beginners-guide
March 31, 20233 yr Author This is awesome, I’ve ordered. Thank you! Now the fun begins with the install!

On the tablet, there is an option in the Android Developer menu to turn off the screen saver when connected to USB power. Edited March 31, 20233 yr by system32

April 1, 20233 yr Author I’m going to need to sell this….anyone interested let me know, brand new as soon as it’s delivered I will ask what I bought it for. https://www.pishop.co.za/store/official-raspberry-pi-400-desktop-kit-with-official-us-keyboard-official-mouse-official-eu-power-supply-official-hdmi-cable-and-raspberry-pi-beginners-guide

April 1, 20233 yr Author I’m not using it yet, it hasn’t been delivered, thought I could use it for SolarAssistant but they are saying it’s not supported, so I but the bullet and bought the PI with software installed, now I have the desktop Pi400 (being delivered next week) and software purchased which I need to sell - dilemma 😳
April 1, 20233 yr Author I did full circle on this and maybe jumped the gun a little in anticipation 🤯
