This is the follow-up post to the on-line meeting containing the materials used.
This month we have a talk about reducing your electricity bill.
We’ve previously discussed home automation with home assistant, but this time we bring in some real-world home automation rules to reduce your electricity bill. The example discussed combines home automation with solar, house battery, modern smart tariff, hot water and electric car.
Hopefully we can get the annual electricity bill down to approximately zero including powering the house, hot water and car.
Plenty of time is reserved for discussions.
