After hours of fiddling around, the thing doesn't work.
The description/assembly instructions are terrible and incomprehensible. The structure can only be guessed from blurry images.
A nice soldering exercise for several hours with no prospects of success in terms of functionality.
Definitely learned something in the process. Don't buy anything that isn't properly documented.
All in all, it was a fine pastime. One star for that too.

All good and no complaints

Shouldn't there have been an alarm when the time expired? The buzzer can be heard during the setting, but at the end of the time there is no sound. There is an error of 5 seconds per minute. Could it be my fault? Otherwise, it's a spectacular setup, but I don't understand how the gravity sensor works because it has no effect on me.
