For those interested in solar energy and home automation…
I've been running a gadget to heat my domestic water (immersion heater) only with spare power from my solar panels. It's a rather "boutique"-made thingumy by a guy here in Spain using an open design (#freeds). Magic.
But.
The gadget has become flaky & needs frequent reboots.
Conclusion - cheaper and easier to just set a simple time switch to switch on the immersion heater for 2 hours at midday.
Creo que no he perdido mi toque pitónico.
