Change can be scary and exciting, but quite often, it's necessary. We're restructuring our operations over the next few weeks, so don't be alarmed if you see something you weren't quite expecting! Strap in... it's gonna be a wild one - blog.mylocalbytes.com/posts/…

Thank you, Phil B., for this 5-star review of our Smart Plugs: "These are perfect. Once an MQTT service is set up in Home Assistant and the sockets are given the address and password, they just work. I've never had an issue with them, and they are my go-to for new smart sockets."

It's that time of the year, again - blog.mylocalbytes.com/posts/… Admittedly, this was a difficult one to write, as it feels like LocalBytes didn't really "do anything" in 2025. But, I'm hopeful we've laid out good foundations for the year ahead! Thanks for supporting us, AA

Are you curious as to how we made the LocalDeck? You can now take a peak behind the curtain as we've just made the CAD repository publically accessible! github.com/LocalBytes/locald…

A quick note on Taxes! We know that a few of our EU customers have been hit with various import charges since going in-house. This is far from ideal, and we are pushing to resolve this!

Unfortunately, the German Tax office has rejected our various IOSS applications because we no longer have a physical presence in Germany. Since we don't have an IOSS number, customs sometimes charge us for our parcels despite a valid full VAT registration.

We already display the DE VAT number on the parcel's label and in the extended customs descriptions we submit. We're struggling to understand what more we can do to prevent additional VAT charges! We'll continue doing our best to ensure nobody foots the bill twice! AA

Local Bytes Smart Plugs are so smart, they have the ability to grow legs and walk off it seems... Sorry for the delays everyone!

Hearing the LocalDeck being discussed on @LinuxUnplugged #579 was a pleasant surprise. @ChrisLAS, how's it working out for you?
