House came with a builtin over/microwave combo.
Ohh wifi option... FUCK THAT... NO FUCKING WAY I'LL ADD THIS POS TO MY WIFI
Clock is WAY wrong, scroll through settings and update it to the second.
Next day, Clock is off by 1m... maybe I didn't do it right
Next day, Clock is off by 2m
Next day, 3 minutes, jesus that's a lot of drift.
OK fuck this thing, go through settings to turn the clock off.
THERE IS NO SETTING FOR THAT
So I can:
A. Leave the clock ever wrong where it'll be right like once ever couple months
B. Set the clock every couple days
C. Create a internet only + isolation VLAN and put this POS into it.
get a smart plug and power cycle every night at midnight
Fuck, it's 220 50amp ... But that's not impossible.... Take my upvote
Smart fuse?
I probably marry an ESP 32 to an industrial relay. Let my home assistant handle it because it's time from actual time servers.
The only problem I could think that would need to be handled is if I were having to be trying to cook something at midnight. Maybe detect power on the line, If it's wrong more than standby current cancel the restart for the day.
And then the smart plug begins to time drift....
No big deal, just set the time back to midnight every few days. Problem solved.
