I use this every night from a python script to force the charge to start after the electricity becomes cheaper. So far it is fast and reliable.

Thanks, I have a T-Mobile device and it is working great. Posting from it now :)

I would like to see what the % of projects that are not outsourced fail for comparison. My guess is that bad projects with bad management contribute to both, more-so than outsourci…
