[Modding] Various Homey Pro (Early 2023) Modification suggestions

So replaced heatsink by https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002536334210.html - it’s Waveshare brand, match all the specifications but it’s little bit noisy - will be adding also https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001710082330.html, suggested by @spkesDE :wink: The top lid can be closed without any problem, there is even more space compared to the bigger heatsink I used before.

Beware - the cage needs to be de-soldered due to the mounting mechanism of Waveshare fan.

Do not comment on way I connected it unless you have some good recommendation instead :wink: But voltage wise seems to be fine for HP23.

Impact on the temperature (please note my HP23 is not like yours, it’s always and permanently doing something) - past 30 days - fluctuates between 49C-52C
