              @cowboysdude Super cool community. Any advice on raspberry power? Should I cut electricity 12 hours a night with a smart plug? Or run it 24/7? Which is better for longer life?

                In my opinion, I would leave it running. As long as you keep the temp of the Pi somewhere in the neighborhood of 40°C. Personally, I prefer that to 365 unnecessary boots a year.

                    @cornusandu if you just turn off the electricity is not that good for the hardware in terms durability, but if you create a shut down routine e.g. 5min before, than it should be fine.

                    Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track
