$100k

that’s ten times what it costs to install domestic solar, battery storage across all of Europe including major cities. Why is it so expensive? Panels are ~$200 each online and an inverter is $5k for a really good one.

A quick google search shows prices more in line with my expectations (sources: https://www.forbes.com/home-improvement/solar/solar-panel-costs-texas/ and https://www.energysage.com/local-data/solar-panel-cost/tx/)

yes. in great numbers. and then they go on to purchase things they see. otherwise companies wouldn’t invest in them.

Outdoor, Indoor? Wifi, Zigbee? mains power, battery?

this. here’s proof https://x.com/PeoplesMomentum/status/1194221297603088386?ref_src=twsrc

still less bulky than one ANPVS-4

No serious company would purchase profile data from a data broker.

I expect it varies depending on how often you open the door, what firmware it’s on, whether it’s MQTT or something else etc etc.

I’ve had this one (it’s the Wifi version not Bluetooth) for about four months and it claims that the battery is at 81%. I’ve not owned it long enough to say if that is a linear or exponential (or totally made up) value.

Hey, I have a Shelly window/door sensor on my bifold door. It includes a lux and temperature sensor, which i’m using to close the blinds (luxaflex/hunter douglas) if the temperature exceeds a certain level along with a high light level.

In practice where I live it is easier to close the blinds based on the current outside temperature, but the window/door sensor makes a good second check. it also prevents the blinds from operating if the door is open!

a pretty grafana dashboard? peak web traffic looks a lot nicer than i thought!

illegal where? do you think a website hosted in Russia or Pakistan is going to care about an american family whose details get listed there?

geo engineering is a stopgap solution. it enables the continuation of fossil fuel burning, and rampant over consumption. it does nothing to prevent ecosystem collapse in our oceans, decline of breathable air or extinction of native species.

when you hear “geo engineering”, think of “clean coal” and “sustainable aviation fuel,” because they are one and the same

I’d be happy if that happened.

I’d like it to go that way too but realistically, no government in the world is going to go after a massive hedge fund or investment bank for failing to stop a company asset stripping a public utility for profit.

yes that would be awesome, but the problem is that “make it publicly owned” means “buy out their shares” which is giving them a bailout, plus “service all the debt the company is in” which is another bailout, before you’ve even got started with fixing the horrible lack of investment over many years

so the shareholders pull their funds, the water companies struggle and the taxpayer has to step in to bail them out.

problem is then that shareholders will pull their money and invest elsewhere leaving the taxpayer to pick up the pieces. clever privatisations always leave the public purse to bail out any losses 😒

the solution: don’t privatise in the first place. it’s like selling all your shit at a pawn shop
