Finally finished my home energy monitor project this afternoon. This uses the infrared port of my Elster R1S hydro meter, read by a repurposed Blueline Innovations PowerCost Monitor sensor. The R1S meter outputs a 100ms wide IR pulse for every 1mWh or energy consumed. Home Assistant uses the ESPHome pulse meter platform to convert these pulses into both power (pulse rate) and energy (pulse counts)

With a $9.80 CAD ESP32 Devkit ESP-WROOM-32 - 4MB acting as a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) 'Central' (via ESPHome f/w), I was able to add to Home Assistant (HA) older Nanoleaf Essential bulbs that became stranded by ecosystem churn a few years ago.

It reacts quickly due to low thermal mass and minimal housing insulation. Not lab‑grade, but probably better than typical consumer sensors, and accurate enough to serve a local reference. Also stable enoug

Didn't realize untl today that my iPhone's camera could be used as a visual IR detector. Great for checking remotes.
Was experimenting with https://github.com/allangood/rtlamr2mqtt, using an RTL SDR radio, to enable Home Assistant read my municipal water meter's radio transmission readings. I wanted the associated gear (MacBook Air running Ubuntu runnin…

My backyard micro solar panel array. I’m curious to see how much energy the panels will harvest at optimal tilt angle this late in the season in Ottawa on a sunny day. #solar
