You don’t need the tube to extend the whole width, the important thing is that the motor is well secured in its place and the roller tube well secured to the motor.

Regarding tuya, I don’t know about their rollers, but I have some “Tuya Zigbee” sensors and I connect them directly to my HA with zigbee.

EDIT:

I found this video (from minute 3:00), the motor has hexagonal ends that fit the hexagonal roller tube. https://youtu.be/_NIK2xk5JfY?t=180

Pay? It was free according to his “girl math”

Mouser and alike are professional oriented, so the shipping options are quite higher in price (and more reliable).

I only used them in projects where I had a long and varied BoM, sometimes you need certain values for a capacitor or resistor, or any other specific component that on AE is sold only on bundles of assorted values.

Mouser ships from USA, Texas to be more specific, I had good experience with them in the past.

I must admit you are right because all people driving cars are disabled people, public transportation adapted for disabled people doesn’t exist, neither mobility aids.

And exceptions for cars used by disabled people doesn’t exist either.

It is 3€ per product type, not parcel, and the type is based on the listing.

Two ESP32C2 from the same seller but different SKUs, is an additional 3€ per each one.

EDIT

7 products, from same seller, only one costs more than 3€

AliExpress was THE place for DIY electronic projects. In one place thousands of different components and versions, and all necessary parts and tools.

I recently wanted to do something with an ESP32 and some sensors, the final price was almost 2X with customs duties, vat on a those, customs processing fees plus also vat on the fees.

I tried to buy on Europe then, the product selection is much shorter with an increased markup, plush shipping from multiple places cause forget about finding all (or part) on the same store.

I don’t mind paying extra for European goods in European stores, but if they just sell the same Chinese cheap stuff at an insane markup. What value are they adding?

Just in example, a Seed Studio ESP32-C6 on AE was 6,34€, on European webs that would deliver to my place was 9,99€ at the lowest (I found one that was 7.XY€ but they only sell to businesses).

God forbid having to walk five minutes from the bus stop or train station

If Anthropic is so dangerous, maybe instead of letting them getting more money they should be dismantled.

I’m from Valencia (Spain), one of our mainly known food is Paella.

The other is Horchata with fartons

Smirnoff Vodka, that shit tastes like cologne.
