I just discovered this and it works fantastically on any old / unused android device you might have lying around, I was shocked at how easy it was, all the instructions are there, once you have it running all you need to do is set your router DNS settings to your pihole IP address and presto! Ads and trackers are gone!

    I have an old Nexus running as a weather station. I just bought a WiFi controlled plug for the power supply so it switches on and off continuously

      Can I ask what kind of setup you have there? In terms of software etc…

        It’s just a screen that shows me the weather forecast tbh. It’s a paid app called whatweatherpro

      Thanks for the tip. Got a tablet running HA and thus plugged in 24/7. Just ordered a smart plug to schedule the charging.
