  • So first phone was an Ericson T10, this was basically the cheapest GSM in the late 90’s. After that I got a Nokia 3310 (flashed with 3315 firmware and with a Bacardi case) which had a bigger screen, so multiple lines of text on-screen. Also, you could send images over SMS and install custom midi ringtones. Next a Samsung X600 with a color screen and camera. After that a T-Mobile MDA vario (rebranded HTC Wizard 200) which was a less than great very bulky phone, but it had windows and a (stylus only) touch screen. I can’t really remember why I got it though. After that a Nokia N95, the last one before my first smart phone, which was a LG optimus 2X.














  • It will be technically a bit more challenging, but I don’t think you need to use the lantern power monitor software with the device. The device seems to be built around two MCP3008 IC’s, which are basic 8 channel analog to digital converters. The values from these can be read and processed (like, sent to home assistant) using a python script on the raspberry. This is the kind of minimal programming effort someone with no experience could do using chatgpt.
