The "Tunnel PC" is running Debian Linux with the KDE Plasma desktop which is the same desktop my laptop runs so everything's familiar.
The touchscreen is set to turn off after 5 minutes of inactivity but a couple of taps on it wakes it right up. Hopefully it will do the same in the morning.
I have my coffee maker light set to turn on at 6am, same as my alarm clock but I usually get up before that so I'll be poking at this thing tomorrow while half asleep to be able to turn the coffee light on manually. I'm all out of network ports so my laptop no longer has access because I stole the network cable to plug into the "Tunnel PC".
The one module that runs my coffee light, the drip pump in the front yard garden and the grow lights will be staying up here so once I get the Tunnel stuff out there, I'll have my network port back for the laptop to house module. I like my little home automation stuff and actually want to do more of it, someday.
Now that this stuff isn't cluttering the table in the seed starting room, I'm going to start that tray of succession bok choy, tatsoi, collard, mustard and Salanova lettuce to see what survives the coming heat. After I do a little work on the tunnel and kill horsenettle. It's overcast now.
This is overkill but really cool and does barely fit in with a gardening thread. Pollard I especially thought of you.

Frog story
I thought the limit was because they didn't have many and it did let me order a second one but cancelled the order today and now the site says not available for order, discontinued. First(or last) and only one will be here in 2-3 days.
I really wanted the matching pair for the two gable vents. Oh well. Guess I'll just use this one for the seed room window and buy the matching pair for $144 each that I was already planning on for the gable cents.
I'll have this one to learn on at least. Same parameters. Open when warm, close when cool, close part way when it's warm and raining with strong winds from the South so I don't get a bunch of rain blowing in.
