What we're about
A monthly hangout for people taking control of their home energy usage and generation. We use open-source hardware and software to enable better understand our homes and how they work, making best use of the energy we generate and reducing the energy we waste.
Upcoming events (4+)

We've no scheduled presentations for this week, I'd thought of cancelling but the next one is in person (Xmas Special!), so thought I'd see if any of the non-Mancunians have anything they'd like to share. Happy for it to be a short one if not.
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!
• 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.
