How long does it take me to build a thermostat and ship it?
Today it took 2.5 hours. Usually it takes about 1-1.5 hours, but if there's a problem that I need to troubleshoot & fix (as there was today), it takes longer.
The value that I'm adding is not just the soldering time, skills, and consumables (solder, flux, soldering iron tips, etc.), it's that you get a fully tested, ready-to-go, #OpenSource thermostat. It's peace of mind. You won't have to deal with these issues.
