That seems like a perfect use of node-red. Your setup sounds pragmatic and effective; I’m sure there would be an audience for some kind of write up with diagrams, especially if it also functions as a node-red tutorial (of sorts). I know that I am regularly designing control systems for hobbyist ag setups, and I pretty quickly hit a wall due to having minimal coding background. Something like node-red seems really useful for someone in my situation. Thanks for the ideas!
It really makes the most out of the flow-programming paradigm and the integrated UI bits are really convenient.
The architecture is pretty straightforward. MQTT over wifi acts as a message bus between node-red and your 'legos'. (You don't really even need a raspberry pi, you just need to be able to run node-red, an mqtt broker and have wifi. I ran everything from containers on raspberry pi and ran the pi in AP mode which kept everything self-contained and tidy.)
For the i/o 'legos', i had more luck with the esp8266 than esp32's on Tasmota, but things have probably improved since then. You could also look at espurna, esphome, home assistant, etc. Main thing to look for is a firmware that supports some kind of async messaging protocol that nodered supports and has the i/o you need. You can buy a six pack of nodemcu esp8266's for $20 off amazon.
Thank you. What a load of infomercial buzzword nonsense. The last part about some “further research and experience” showing even better results if the product is worn all the time is especially galling.
But one should look into Darsch Scientific if you want to get deeper into how this is all organised. https://www.dartsch-scientific.com/en/ they have produced papers for powerinsole and are used by other companies in the magnetic magic industry to provide a veneer of scientific credibility. For example https://waveguard.com/en/studies/
My condolences to both of you for the years you expected to spend with one another. What world-rocking news for anyone to get, let alone at the age of 46.
As someone who has been through an above-average amount of loss, I want to applaud and encourage the courageous, head-on manner in which you are approaching what is to come. It will pay off immensely down the road. My best to you, your wife and daughter.

Recruitment isn't a problem if there is a worthwhile mission. Things like the Berlin Airlift and Marshall Plan motivate people.
The idea that GCHQ is doing anything other than preserving Britain's role as junior partner in an increasingly immoral American empire is kind of laughable.
At this point, what do America and Britain stand for?
That and a lot of the people with the genuine skills they need are actually on the other side of the spectrum from them on things like liberty, free speech and privacy.
I know a couple of ex staff who left after a short while, dissatisfied. Obviously no details but it's clear that it combines the low pay and inflexibility of civil service work with a whole extra hassle of working securely.
Lots of advertising for all three arms of the military at the moment too.
Yes they are having difficulty. No one wants to be paid that terribly to work for a place that owns a big chunk of your life, leaves you somewhat less employable afterwards and does nothing even slightly sexy.
I do the cold water on face and the shower thing on an almost-daily basis. I mean, I shower daily in the morning because it feels good and I prefer not to alienate the people I interact with over the course of my day.
Since my daily activities sometimes involve outside work in a tropical climate, I found myself needing the occasional evening shower. I also do a lot of work in the evening, working with computers instead of plants, and eventually I came to notice that I performed that work much better, with less resistance, on days when I had the evening shower.
I added the shower to my evening routine, and it is helpful regardless of whether or not I did any labor-type work.
The water-on-face thing is a habit I picked up this year, and I never connected it with the shower routine. But thinking about it now, it seems clear that it may well be. I do the cold water routine more frequently on days I feel overwhelmed, and it seems obvious in retrospect.
