Updated 2019-09-02 ! If you think it's ok that the broadband speed appears as temperature in Home apps  this plugin is very nice. The plugin, used with Homebridge (HB), measures Your broadband speed at chosen intervals. If You use the free app " Eve for Homekit ", besides that it shows the last measured broad band speed,  it also shows the speed history in a nice graph. Other  HomeKit posts  on this Blogg

Extending Your WiFi via cable have the advantage, compared to extending via WFi, that You keep the bandwidth at max. Extending Your WiFi with products that use the same frequencies, as Your WiFi, will just put through 50% of the data flow. One way to extend the WiFi is with a cheap router, or maybe an  old router You  don't use any more.

Updated 2019-02-05 ! Using  Homebridge for a while , getting nice hardware to emulate Apples HomeKit devices, I finally decided to test IKEA:s Trådfri concept. The actual device that I was interested in is the wireless control outlet. But they have bulbs and other stuff that is really nice priced. This post will cover an installation of the Trådfri gateway with a HomeKit approach.   Other  HomeKit posts  on this Blogg

Upgrading from Jessie to Stretch can break the entire system so ALLWAYS do a backup. There are several sites/posts with "how to" information but the Raspberry site , the Linuxconfig site and the Superuser site ,  (where You can find more details about the upgrade),  made the base for this post.

Updated 2018-06-07! The SignalK server(SK), the engine in OpenPlotter(OP) is coming with new releases pretty often and if You want to update, having used OpenPlotter RPI V 0.10.0 NOOBS , the following instructions will help You. I really recommend to start all over with a new fresh installation with the new OP V1.x.x.

TP-Link Deco  is a smart Mesh system that extends Your WiFi. It is pretty easy to install but there is no direct information in the install app, Apple or Android , about how to interconnect the Decos with ethernet.  Especially if You  must  keep the old Router. Connecting via ethernet is faster and more stable and also necessary if the Decos WiFi can't reach each other. Another post with DECO:s in router mode .
