Less than one air trip per year for any reason, less than four #BEV road trips per year for pleasure, about one 6 hour round trip per month for other reasons
5) #BEV no more fossil fuel vehicle, we charge at home, at night from our “cleanest” grid energy, except for those longer road trips
6) #ElectrifiedHome, including #heatPump
7) Our home is a sensor analytics ecosystem #SensAE to reduce energy use
8) Whole home filtration system, no more bottled water
9) Vax’d and masked…

Interesting fix. @czds and I have been having trouble adding two new Eve Thread/Matter Energy Plugs to our Apple Home, even the Eve app. We tried the various “fixes” in Eve and Apple and various third-party support/discussion forums. Nada. Until we stumbled upon one suggestion. Enable IPv6 in your local router. We didn’t even configure IPv6, just enabled it. Now to find the time to replace the WeMo switches

@jaredwhite @gbargoud @inthehands I’ve been using sensor analytics ecosystems #SensAE for a long time

Modern cars, especially #BEV are excellent examples of sensor analytics ecosystems #SensAE with sensor suites and on-board #Edge computing capabilities that allow the car as ecosystem interact with the humans inside and the environment outside the system. This new chip from #Rivian should expand capabilities. But always remember while the heuristics and algorithms under the #AI and #ML banners are impressive, machines don’t learn and intelligence isn’t artificial

Rivian is building its own powerful AI chips for autonomous driving

Rivian announced it was building its own AI chips for self-driving features. The company also plans on adding lidar to its upcoming R2 vehicles.

@RuthMalan that last quote is definitely worth considering as a causal digital twin is used to guide the evolution of a system from one iteration to the next as the fidelity of the physical sensors with models/simulations in the digital twin help to define the “stable intermediate forms”

7/7 Overall, we are pleasantly surprised by this single portable PV panel, with the Anker Solix Home Power Panel and F3800 battery systems. We live in a windy area, and with gusts over 20mph today, the panels haven’t moved at all, unless we repositioned them. If we ever do take another step, it’s likely to be rigid solar panels, either mounted to stands on the ground, or on a pergola, with tulip style vertical axis wind turbines, maybe not this fancy as attached.

6/n The Anker Solix app does show some data, such as the amount of solar power being generated during the day. It’s easy to see where we adjusted the PV panels throughout the day. The peaks, at 250-270W, are where the panels are nicely lined up with the sun, shadow sharply straight behind the panels.

5/n Screen capture of the Anker Solix app showing power going from the PV panels to the battery systems to the Home Power Panel to the house, with nothing coming from the grid. The app is a rudimentary #DigitalTwin the animation is somewhat informative. It can be disconcerting when the PV panel on the ground disappears when it’s too dark for it to generate any electricity

4/n The photovoltaic panel is more of a test. Is it really worth it where we live? The day it was delivered was cloudy and misting; we still got 100-200W from it. Today was bright and sunny, and we got 250-300W. Not bad from a panel rated at 400W.

3/n A wide angle shot might show the system a bit better. The original F3800 host battery, with the expansion battery sitting atop the host, and a flat cable connecting the two batteries. Thin DC cables are plugged into an XT-60 connector in the host, trailing along the garage floor to the PV panels on the driveway. The F3800 Plus host battery with its expansion battery atop it is connected by a standard 120V AC power cord to a vehicle-to-load dongle plugged into an Ioniq5.
