        I tried domoticz for a short period few years ago and it looks pretty good. What components do you use? zwave stuffs?

        • yolow on 04/05/2017 - 13:27

          Yup, zwave module on the raspberry GPIO pins as a controller and I've got a combinations of fibaro and aeotec switches and one aeotec smart switch.

          Will get more down the track as you'd imagine integrating all this thing in one go will cost a fortune lol

    • Bargainer on 04/05/2017 - 09:39

      Thanks. It is using Zwave, anything for ZigBee?

      Shipping starts at $7.95 though, and it says they are sold out of RPI Zero W.

      • Pangit99 on 04/05/2017 - 09:55
        +1

        Seems to be in stock now. Annoyingly it says local pickup is $5 for orders under $15 and the Zero W is $14.96! Wonder if they would allow free pickup for the sake of 4c. They are local to me so should be worth a try.

        • AssociatedCoreElectronics @ Core Electronics on 08/05/2017 - 10:04

          We'll have more in a week - stay tuned. There will be more than enough for everyone this time around!

  • dkstorm on 03/05/2017 - 22:21

    Just ordered the regular zero one with express post (I leave the country next week). Too good a deal to pass up.

  • ChadHominem on 03/05/2017 - 22:26

    I'm thinking of using something like this in a smart speaker project. Does anyone know if these can function as a Bluetooth receiver? Or only as a Bluetooth transmitter?

    • garage sale on 03/05/2017 - 22:32
      +1

      hardware wise blue tooth is bi-directional ….. getting the software library would be the tricky part….. you'd hate to be cutting code and weeks later find out there isn't enough memory on the zero and you need a pi 3b.

    • rhangman on 03/05/2017 - 22:51
      +1

      For a bluetooth speaker, better off with a bluetooth amp like a TDA7492P based ones that are ~$10 delivered. If you go with the Pi0W, don't forget you'll also need a Phat DAC or similar or a USB DAC.

  • punkindrublic on 03/05/2017 - 22:30

    That's cheap as chips! Ordered one - not sure what I'll do with it but considering I've spent more on beers on a crappy night out this is an absolute bargain!

  • punkindrublic on 03/05/2017 - 22:40

    Any suggestions as to where to buy cheap cases for the Zero W?

    • corbz on 03/05/2017 - 22:42

      aliexpress

      • punkindrublic on 03/05/2017 - 22:43

        If you've got a link to a decent case I'd be very, very grateful.

        EDIT Scrap that, found one for USD$1.47 so ordered that. Even if it's terrible it's less than a cup of coffee :D

        • corbz on 03/05/2017 - 22:48

          You're paying too much for coffee

        • punkindrublic on 03/05/2017 - 22:50

          If you know a cafe in Sydney CBD that can provide me with my morning caffeine boost for under $2 please let me know! Sure, I can just grab the Nescafe Blend 43 and have a cuppa for around 20 cents a pop, but if someone can make me a takeaway brew for a couple of bucks I'll happily trek over there to save some money

        will pi zero case fit with pi zero W? im thinking of getting one from ebay as well.

        • rhangman on 04/05/2017 - 11:33

          Yes. Physically the same. Same size, same port locations, etc.

          @rhangman:
          yay thanks, I asked the ebay seller, had no idea lol :)

    • AssociatedCoreElectronics @ Core Electronics on 08/05/2017 - 10:07

      The official case for Pi Zero is very affordable, and we're running a deal at the moment https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/305825

      It's hands-down the best enclosure we've seen from the Raspberry Pi Foundation. Snug fit, zero hassles, alternative tops for all occasions.

    These any good as a jukebox? Im using one for codex on the TV as half my movies wont play and I got a retropi so jukebox could be cool.

    • rhangman on 04/05/2017 - 10:32

      Only audio out by default is HDMI. Could connect that to an AVR or TV, generally though, going to want a DAC to connect to an amp. Hifiberry do a DAC+amp in one board. Designed for the 2/3 though, so much bigger than a 0, plus still needs external power.

  • strripedz on 04/05/2017 - 09:14

    Thanks OP, ordered one.

  • DarthLord on 04/05/2017 - 10:18

    Ordered 1 x pi zero… now not sure what to do with it.

    I have the following parts lying around:
    MicroSD 4GB
    micro USB to femal USB cable
    Charger micro USB

    Any advice if I can use existing parts to build a retropie? What's the cheapest way to do?

    4GB sufficient for nes, snes, and some old school gaming?

    Hi all, new to Raspberry Pi. Out of the Raspberry Pi, anything I need to buy to make it work (power cable, usb cable, etc.)?

    • rhangman on 04/05/2017 - 11:01
      +2

      Pi0W, to run it headless just need a microUSB and microSD. USB to power it, microSD to write OS image to. Then should just a matter of editing a config file with your wifi settings, insert SD, power up and it should connect. Can then SSH in. Want to connect it to a screen? Going to need Mini-HDMI adapter/cable. USB keyboard, etc.? Likely going to need microUSB adapter, also a hub if you want to connect more than one device, making bluetooth likely a better option, although you will need a method to pair them so either USB first or SSH.

        Thanks for your answer. Bought one, think later :)

  • oz-stef on 04/05/2017 - 10:45

    Any suggestions on a power supply? I've got two Zero's already, going to add a third, and maybe a fourth in a few weeks.

    That would require a 4 port charger with at least 2.5A for each of the ports yeah?

    Would this be suitable? (https://www.cablegeek.com.au/shop/power/desktop-chargers/ank…)

    • rhangman on 04/05/2017 - 10:54
      +1

      Got a Pi3, Pi0W, ODroid C2 and 5 port ethernet switch running from a cheap 5 port Blitzwolf charger. No issues.
      Pi0 is running PiCorePlayer and with just it connected was only getting 0.8W or so at the wall, 0.9-1W when playing.

      • oz-stef on 04/05/2017 - 11:06

        Cool, that expands my options considerably, I can get away with some of those chargers that have mixed 2.5A and 1.2A ports, thanks

    • knaff on 04/05/2017 - 10:59
      +1

      The Zero's don't need 2.5A, the Pi3B does.

      You can get away with a cheapo 500mA phone charger on a Zero

      • oz-stef on 04/05/2017 - 11:03

        I probably should have mentioned "I'd like a single device to power all thes" ;)

      • AssociatedCoreElectronics @ Core Electronics on 08/05/2017 - 10:11
        +1

        If you are using it for hardware projects, then the 2.5A power supply will help with head-room with other hardware you might be powering from the GPIO etc.

        The official Raspberry Pi Power Supply has 5.1V at the lead, which is recommended for a range of uses.

    • bargaino on 04/05/2017 - 11:05
      +1

      Its a good idea to get one of those $2 USB power meters from ebay to see the power drain and check the loaded voltage from your supply (phone charger).

      Everybody must have a few suitable power supplies in a drawer somewhere.

      • oz-stef on 04/05/2017 - 11:13

        Neat I hadn't seen these before, looking now, which one to buy, which one to buy, decisions decisions :)
