We're delighted to be joined by Paulus Schoutsen (@balloob), founder of Home Assistant (https://home-assistant.io), the fully open source home automation system. While many projects we discuss at EHL already use Home Assistant as a base, the entire core project has now adopted a focus on energy and carbon tracking via the new Energy Dashboard (introduced in last month's release).

Paulus will be discussing the new energy dashboard, developments in version 2021.9 (released today) and the vision for the project going forward.

You'll find at demo of the dashboard here:

It'll be a busy event so we're asking people to register this time, so we can work out the best format to keep it a fully engaging hang-out.

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 (http://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!
