Adamstown, New South Wales 2289,
Australia
Note:
I find Core to have the most reasonable prices than other Australian merchants when it comes to the Raspberry Pi.
Not worth this price. HODL for zero 2
Hodl for zero 3 imo
Wait, weren't these like half that price not that long ago?
Of course a Zero 2 would be better, but there are some applications like Klipper where a Zero WH is sufficient.
Klipper runs on the Zero WH? didnt know that!
My PI4 was overkill even for 3 direct instances of klipper, but you'd likely want the pi zero 2 for a similar scenario, I think.
I know octoprint only runs on the 2 and they specifically say don’t use the 1.
I'll wait till 2036 for the Zero 2 to be back in stock. They might actually start making them by then for the community that actually made the organisation/company/platform so successful in the first place.
It's more likely they'll mark it up by introducing a 1gb ram zero 2 plus model and double the base price.
Then encourage resellers to only sell the entire line in kits.

Although they're more competitors to the full sized RPi.
The BPI-M2 Zero is the equivalent, being a form-factor copy and all.
The Pi 4B 2gb is also on stock for anyone interested.

Hopefully they actually fulfill the orders. I ordered a CM4 recently from core-electronics and they cancelled my order a week later and refunded my money. However I already ordered a carrier board from another store. So I ended up with a useless board customer service from core-electronics was pretty crap. If I was advised earlier I could have cancelled my other order.
I wont be buying from them again!
The price is insanely high. 2GB was $55 before COVID.
As mentioned to you @ThaiArse, we had an incorrect upstream stock notification from a supplier. We refunded your order the same week and advised you when we expect more stock. We didn't sit on our hands and wait for that to happen - the moment we could confirm the moving parts we wanted you to have the freedom to spend your money however you liked.
Everyone is looking forward to life after the parts shortages are over. Especially us folk in electronics.
Ultimately we can't ship something we didn't have. We advised you that we've disabled automation for those products, to avoid upstream data affecting our downstream trust in it. We'll keep working hard at offering the best we can with electronics in this region, from education to support and logistics.

Founder, Core Electronics
We recently spoke on the phone Graham and I rate your service extremely highly, as I mentioned in the description - best retailer for Raspberry Pi in Australia from my experience both in price and customer service. James and Trent were also very helpful with a particular issue on my end which they were able to resolve.
Thank you and greetings to wonderful Newcastle!
I've also had nothing but outstanding service from Core Electronics. Keep up the great work guys!
Thanks for your kind words; we’ll keep chipping away!
I dont think you mentioned anything about 'advised you that we've disabled automation for those products' in any of the emails so not sure where that came from?!
It wasn't the fact that the order was cancelled it was that I wished it was done earlier or advised that the order would not be fulfilled. So I could have cancelled my other order for the carrier board for the CM4 I now have a something I wont use as I only ordered it from the expectation of getting the CM4 from core-electronics.
@ThaiArse, as explained at the time, if you had purchased the IO Board from us then we would be glad to assist. We do stock the original IO board.
Though you’ve purchased from another seller - and as mentioned - asking us for a refund or compensation for a product purchased elsewhere is not sustainable.
Confirmation of the matter wasn’t instant, though we made it a priority and several people along with complex systems were involved. The best we could provide was a full refund for the purchase made with us within the same week. Moving forwards, you are now able to purchase the first CM4 module you find, wherever that is. CM4 will be in production for many years to come.
Sorry if this is a silly question but I've not done much with things like raspberry pis or anything like that, but would like to. I've been trying to get started in home automation and want something that can read IR signals from various IR remotes we have around and send them to something like Home Assistant - would I be able to get this pi and some kind of sensor and use that to do what I'm after? Or would I need a different kind of board/sensor combo?
If you are using Home assistant just get a Broadlink mini for this , it's a supported device.
So, the issue that I'm facing is that not everyone in my family/friends circle are tech savvy, and one thing that we wanted when making everything smart is the ability to still control things manually if we want to. So for something like our air con, we want to still be able to use the dumb remote when we want, but want those changes to sync with HA - so if we change the temp or turn the air con off using the dumb remote, HA knows what the new temp/whether the AC is on or off. Unfortunately, Boardlink can't do that - it's only an IR blaster, but doesn't read incoming signals. There are some options out there like the Sensibo that can read incoming signals and keep it in sync, but that's a cloud based system which we're trying to avoid if we can (and also a lot more expensive).
I was really hoping there'd be a small sensor that can take power and read IR signals locally, but it doesn't seem like it - but I'm still very new to home automation and HA (we haven't got anything smart yet except our TV), so I might be missing something that's out there. Alternatively if there's a nice tutorial on how to make one online for cheap, that could work - a sensor in combination with a Broadlink would be the perfect combination!

Sounds like ESPHome may be able to keep the state in sync, depending on the brand.
https://esphome.io/components/climate/climate_ir.html
Due to the unidirectional nature of IR remote controllers, this component cannot determine the actual state of the device and will assume the state of the device is the latest state requested.
However, when receiver is supported, you can optionally add a Remote Receiver component so the climate state will be tracked when it is operated with the original remote controller unit.
Note that ESPHome is kind of a sister project to Home Assistant now, as the parent company acquired them. Have fun.
@Namidairo: I'll have to check it out - I've not even had a chance to look at ESPHome yet but it's always sounded like this scary thing that people do all this awesome stuff with :P
It does have learning capabilities
https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/broadlink/#:~:tex….
Otherwise you can still get used logitec harmonies.
Sensibos often seem to go on sale too.
@gadget: From what I gathered about the broadlink is that it can go into learning mode to receive signals to learn them, but it can't stay in receive mode while also broadcasting IR signals. So I can teach the broadlink about all my different remotes and the signals they use, but I can't then use that as an IR receiver and make it update the state of my air con from my dumb remote
@Opaquer: Sensibo seems like your best bet despite being cloud based. TBH the only reason to remote into your aircon would be to turn it on (or off) while you're out otherwise using the aircon's own remote doesn't seem like a huge bother esp since the family is not tech savvy.
Everything else can be controlled by a harmony or if feeling spendy (or concerned about the remaining life of the logitech) a sofabaton x1 can replace everything else.
@gadget: Yeah, unfortunately it seems like to do what I want will require cloud based stuff, which is eh. Will have to see how things go though. Thanks for all the suggestions and advice!
I've got one of these running my 1980's pinball machine. It talks to the original boards with a little extra in between hardware! I was amazed it worked. And it works every time since installing it.
@everyone this batch is sold out. We'll send tracking for those orders on Monday :)
The add to cart button will not work, and the page cache will clear in the next 24 hours.
Cool.
If it were ever in stock, for $4 less the Zero 2 seems better value.
