Have you ever wanted to test your CLI in an easy way? Perhaps you've heard of Cram? My, team, especially Ulrich Kautz, has done and is doing a lot of work on its spritual successor: Scrut! It's now available via crates.io as well: https://crates.io/crates/scrut

Monitor brightness control working now from #HomeAssistant. A bit slow due to some #Python code not being optimised yet. But we're getting there!

Click 8.1.8 is here! Let’s see if 8.2.0 can be wrapped up as a gift for the holidays as well! 🎁 github.com/pallets/clic...
Release 8.1.8 · pallets/click
This is the Click 8.1.8 fix release, which fixes bugs but does not otherwise change behavior and should not result in breaking changes compared to the latest feature release.

Percival in the UK is touting a 25% sale though has increased (already expensive) T shirt prices from 49 to 59 pounds so in the end the discount is 4.75 pounds or ~10%. I feel like it should be easier to report misleading price reductions in the UK…

Wonderful how easy it is to do a DIY #homeassistant bed sensor with off the shelf Aqara water leak sensors. Thanks to this great article! www.homeautomationguy.io/blog/making-...

Getting there with my library to control displays. First on Windows, then Linux. Easily change display config and monitor settings. Available first in Rust, then Python, and finally #homeassistant via MQTT!
![Working Rust code to change Windows display config and brightness:

Are there any #Windows display wizards able to crack this question?
I have display paths like “\\.\DISPLAY 1”. Then I have display registry info at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\DISPLAY which includes edid. How can one map the path to the serial number from the edid?

Still lots of PRs/issues to go for a clean(er) slate. 🤗
