  1. I've just fixed a problem I caused ("What's new?" you ask!)
    I added a clamp meter power monitor to my garage sub-panel, but it kept going offline. After a lot of head scratching I discovered it only worked when the lights were on in the garage - i.e. when I'm in there. I'd hooked its power into the switched live of the lights... Doh!

  2. The future will be validated in real time — before failure ever happens. ⚡🧪
    Industrial drives are getting smarter, faster So testing can’t stay slow.

  3. I realized I had an unused PyPortal around, so yesterday evening I quickly hacked together a (solar, battery, house) power display. Pushing the data to it using MQTT.

    Obviously want to make it prettier and include some more values on it, but quite functional as a first test.

    The circuitpython doc is still as hard to search as before, it could use a browsable list of libraries

  4. I'm trying to integrate #powermonitoring into my #homeassistant instance. I'm building an #homessistantglow : https://glow-energy.io/docs/resources/schematics/
    Now, my meter has two LEDS: one is called Ra and the other Rr. The meter's manual don't explain the difference between the two. Anyone knows which one should I use for the reading?
  5. I have strategically placed energy monitoring that is now integrated into Home Assistant. Mostly it's to determine things I can run from the car in an emergency, and be able to monitor it.

    Also, interestingly, it's prompted me to finally look at retiring/replacing an old home server that might be a tad power hungry.

    Migrating is going to be a...process...
