That just looks like discoloration that sheet metal gets with repeated heating. I would investigate the controls, there are contacts that open/close as a bimetallic strip heats up and cools off (basic thermostat). if the contact are arcing or stuck it could over heat, also since you said smoke was coming from the knob. . .

Depends on the lock being actuated and the torque of the servo, I have some that can do 4.4 N-m.

A stepper motor would also work for sure.

If you have some electronic skill you can use espHome on a esp32 microcontroller to control an RC Servo motor.

If you want out-of-box there are several electronic locks that will work.

It’s half potassium chloride, that can cause you heart issues too if you get to much of it.

I have a project that is using a Teensy 4.1, the cheep 5v regulator I was using in the project let the magic smoke out for no good reason. I replaced that but now the Teensy boots and runs for about a min then quits. There is a TLV75733P power IC that is supplying the 3v3 and it gets hot then quits supplying power. Since that IC is $0.46 vs a new Teensy 4.1 ~ $40 I want to try and replace it. I have done a bit of SMD work but not tried to remove a tiny chip with a GND pad before so I’m looking for any tips. The PCB of the Teensy has header pins so I can’t really get good contact to a hot plate to preheat the board.

Microsoft’s Bing API services (the source of DuckDuckGo’s search data) went down at approx 3am ET and has not yet returned to service. Bing, DuckDuckGo, CoPilot, ChatGPT and more are unable to use the Bing services so in turn are also not working or not working fully.

Family Dollar moved into these neighborhoods undercut the local stores forcing them out of business, so now these folks will have nothing. Fuck Family Dollar!

If Haier is claiming that the integration is causing them financial harm it means that their app is collecting your private data and they are selling it.

I installed Bookworm, Docker and Frigate (in docker) on an older i5 Dell with a Coral TPU (USB) and an old GeForce 6600 GPU, the TPU and GPU are for use with Frigate frame processing and video conversion. It was working well for months and then I upset the apple cart by adding whisper and Piper in the docker for my Home Assistant (different server) to use. After I got that all working I noticed that Debian would freeze after several hours of no user use (no one logged in either on the console or SSH). This seems to happen now even after I removed the Piper and whisper containers. Thinking it might be a suspend issue I masked all the suspend points and set the power profile to β€œnever” but that did not help. Looking at journalctl does not show anything I can see, it seems to just stop logging at the freeze point, interestingly the ethernet jack still shows activity but no ping :(

What would be the next troubleshooting steps to find what is causing the freeze?

I discovered some items on clearance at Home Depot, a Wyze Outdoor duplex plug and a Defiant smart plug. Did a little research on the modules I found inside and was pleased that both used esp32 microcontrollers. I got both disassembled, soldered up, and got to work flashing ESPHome, The Wyze was went well and is now integrated into my HA. Unfortunately the Defiant smart plug was defiant and when hooked up to do the flash I got a β€œDownload mode disabled, reset with GPIO0 high.” Researching that I found that newer esp32 chips have a β€œSecure boot” fuse that once set disables future firmware updates from the UART. Not sure yet if there is an OTA exploit like the with BK7321 toya chips, but i’m not hopefull. If anyone knows of something let me know.
