EcoHome Lab: Sunamp and solar diversion

***

Damon Hart-Davis has offered to give us a short presentation on the results of his combination of a solar diverter with the Sunamp Thermino heat battery. (He might also be persuaded to report back on his recent Octopus heat pump install journey). This will be an open session, so let me know you've anything for a quick show and tell.

If there's time, I can also briefly discuss developments on tariffs and costs data in PowerShaper and the changes made based on feedback during the last session.

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.

Catch up on some of our previous sessions and presentations.

Unless there's a specific title to the session, it means we have no scheduled speaker and it will be an open session. We welcome contributions.

This is a CarbonCo-op (http://carbon.coop/) initiative working closely with the wider open source community.

Regular topics 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
