EcoHome Lab: Monthly meetup and skill share
2022-10-13 18:00 - 19:30 (Europe/Paris), 2023-01-12 18:00 - 19:30 UTC | Online event
———————————————————————————
Now in our regular monthly slot – every second Thursday of the month. A hangout for people taking control of their home energy usage and generation. We use open-source hardware and software to gain a better understanding of energy in our homes, how to make the best use of the energy we generate and reduce energy wasted.
This is a CarbonCo-op (https://carbon.coop/) initiative working close together with OpenEnergyMonitor (https://openenergymonitor.org).

Topics will include:
• Home energy monitoring.
• House energy performance assessment
• Sensors – electricity, gas, temperature, humidity, air quality…
• User interfaces, dashboards
• Smart houses and automation
• Aggregation of data sources
• Taking the power back! – Making better use of the surplus power we generate
Who is it for?
• Anyone with skills in physical electronics, web development or programming who wants to use that knowledge to reduce energy and carbon!
• There will be open space for small groups to focus on adding new sensors or hacking the user interface, there will always be a ‘newbies’ group for people interested in finding out more.

EcoHome Lab: Xmas Special (hybrid event)
2022-12-08 18:00 - 19:30 (Europe/London) | Bridge 5 Mill, 22a Beswick Street, Manchester, United Kingdom
We’ll be hosting an in person event at Bridge 5 Mill (where Carbon Co-op has our office) but the presentation and Q&A will also be streamed online.
Presentation: Ben Aylott will be presenting his work on a new time stepping methodology for calculating the dynamic interaction between Energy Smart Appliances in the home and it’s potential for better prediction, modelling and scheduling.
We’ll also have an Xmas swap shop, so bring down any smart home items your no longer using. Carbon Co-op have a load of interesting stuff to give away – from zigbee relays, to beaglebones to random development boards (we’ll have a donations pot for Care4Calais and Forus Tree – a local tree planting Co-op).
There will also be- non-alcoholic drinks and beers on offer and maybe a mince pie or two…
If you’re not able to join in person the meet link is the same as normal.
