Heat pump installs are down 10% so far in 2023. If we are to 'electrify everything' by 2050 this is precisely the opposite trend we need to see. I propose 4 strategies for accelerating adoption based on my personal experience installing heat pumps in my home this year.
We'll be short 1M electricians by 2020. Bringing vocational training back into high schools will help us ditch fossil fuels, bridge the skilled workforce gap, and empower more young people to succeed.
I have personally been struggling to figure out how to go through the home electrification process end-to-end, so I decided to start a blog to share my learnings and hopefully help others do the same.
I wanted to share my latest post, the first of a series on creating a personalized plan to electrify your home. It includes a handy template to organize your plan, as well as introduces the 'Home Electrification Pyramid' as a visual to help guide sequencing of home electrification projects.
I'd be curious to hear if this is helpful to any of you, and always open to feedback and questions. Let me know what you think!
Any idea whether there is or will be support for IPv6 on the Photon? Particularly for this sort of device, I think it is important to have that support.
Good job, y'all. Small, powerful, well connected, convenient to use. I think there's a chance you'll hit it out the ballpark. What you need now is shields, lots of shields, and libraries, lots of libraries. For Arduino there's a library for any sensor under the sun - you'll have to try and cover at least the most popular things out there.
You know what's missing from the site? As a long-time Arduino user, I've learned the value of knowing in advance, very clearly, the number of digital and analog inputs and outputs on any device I plan to use.
E.g., right now I'm wrestling an Arduino Mini, trying to fit all the digital pins I need for the OLED display, the tachometer sensors, the temperature and humidity sensor, and the various LEDs and control buses. It's probably gonna work, but it's a close race.
I'm sure that information is available somewhere for your device, it just didn't jump at me when I looked at the site. Maybe you should make it a bit more prominent.
Congrats on what seems like a very warm reception on HN!
Can you provide a little more clarity on what the Photon Kit listed in the store consists of? The short description says "several sensors" and the description in the modal is even more vague with "a couple of extra surprises".
