I love electric heaters. They're more expensive to run but when you have 100% efficiency, who cares.

But I am going to add an air water heat pump, currently we use pellets to heat water, and probably use 2nd zone for the ventillation for heating and cooling

God I wish we had these things in Canada as the norm vs everything being gas / electric
Our dryers are electric, our heating is mostly gas unless you're in a condo then you get it through a water loop unless you're like us with PTAC systems
round crystal
mini split heat pumps exist
you can get ones that replace your gas furnace and just need two pipes through the wall to a air source heat pump
Here in Canada we have a massive push back on heat pumps because in areas that can hit -40 we have rebates to replace oil heating
last cedar
-40C?
round crystal
The issue? People are like "my oil heater is rated to do 50k BTU, this heatpump is $9k and I get $5k off but it's only rated for 20k BTU, it should be fine!"

Damn, it is actually the same in F and C lol

we're metric

oh no you pay $7k instead of $4k vs the $2k per year on heating oil
The issue tho is here in Ontario, if you live in the GTA Especially, electricity is absurdly cheap
like if you're a business / person who does stuff mostly at night, you can go for a plan where overnight you pay 0,02c CAD per kwh
During our peak times on the normal plan, it's like 0,14c CAD per kwh
Off peak is like 0,06c CAD per kwh

Hybrid
Our car is so quiet that when the pedestrian warning system turns off you foget it's on
I've forgotten to hit park and that it's still on, and when I open the door it immediately engages the brakes and scolds me
That's how quiet it is
tbf my car scolds me for a lot of things
Someone is slowing down to turn infront of me suddenly and I don't hit the brakes hard? Emergency braking warns me it's about to take over
Running into my work to grab something quickly that i forgot and I don't turn it off? It lets everyone know it's still on by making a loud high pitch whine
Thinks you're not driving well because you can't see the lanes due to torrential downpours? Tells you to take a break
I had to actually turn one safety feature off. Lane keep assist. by default it's in a very agressive mode where if it even suspects you didn't notice a car behind you while passing, the wheel with the force of a body builder will violently pull you into your lane even while you signal and you have space to pass because it doesn't like something.
It's a hyundai hybrid. So it's absurdly heavy and the power steering heavily compensates your steering
you can turn on a dime with your pinky. It's weightless steering. The issue is the safety features don't consider that the wheel suddenly turning to "save you" with such force could actually injure your wrist.
You don't get a heads up, it does it then solds you ๐
round crystal
That's the thing, you'll give 3 cars of space when signalling to move over and the car doesn't like that
It really wants you to give even more space even if the person you're passing is slowing
Hyundai takes safety to a paranoid level
I was leaving a parking spot, checked my blind spots, cameras, etc.
Felt like I just got into a car accident as the brakes slammed on their own because it spotted a plastic bag flying in the wind
It decided I wasn't paying attention and took over to protect me from a non threat.
If the parking lot has a back area facing a road, it detects the cars on the road, 200m away and warns you.
forest edge
to be fair many drivers these days needs the car treat them as such
round crystal
Oh I agree. But damn this car is paranoid
And the one time I needed it to be paranoid, it didn't catch the person cutting the line onto a high offramp who decided to slam to a halt. Thankfully I caught it in time and our car nosedived almost into the road trying to stop
Going from >110kmph to 0 in less than 50m isn't fun.

There's a very heavy battery under the back seats that really makes braking a bigger challenge
I actually wonder how our car handles emergency braking. That day, it engaged the brakes and regen braking. I got >30% charge in seconds

Like where else do you send all this energy you're suddenly making?

mmm thermals thats what grills the steaks
simple gazelle
I was wrong, it's 8.7kW thermal, which is listed as SCOP 3.6 in this climate, so that's 2.4kW of electricity? It's the Octopus Cozy which is apparently more of a pain to integrate with HA but for ยฃ7,000 of grant money I am willing to make sacrifices

that seems reasonable. SCOP will depend on what kind of radiators you have because it determines the flow temp. Heat loss calcs and survey are something the UK installers have to do well because otherwise you dont get the grant, we dont have that

The grant includes new radiators as I have skinny-ass 70s ones, but they're quite wide so there's only one room where I need to get some plumbing done. Thankfully it's the room with the dodgy floor so the access is easy

I should be honestly very offended at HA.
Before I'd just turn on the hot water.
Now, instead, I find myself browsing Shopee for ESP32's, pumps, motors, valves with electronic controls,... "I could take that apart and solder an ESP32 in there and expose the thing to HA..."

There are 2 rules you dont ask a developer.
- what is the time estimate on some analysis.
- ask when something is finished (before they started)

Sure you can give estimates on progress. If all goes well. But if you need to analyse you dont know the full issue yet so never can make an estimate

vlans aren't supported in HA
most complicated networking isn't supported, it's all yolo and making it work
