Whole House 24v 
brave panther
I've got some oddities in the attic wherein there's ~65V between line and ground and ~55V between neutral and ground. Tying both line and neutral together and checking voltage in reference to ground I get 120V. So there's something odd for sure. Unfortunately the attic is of course two stories above the circuit breaker, so outside of breaking into the walls all the way between the two there's no good way to see what's up. Outside of that, the rest of the house is solid and even has a neutral line at all receptacles and switches
Speaking of natting and the such... personally I've got about 11 VLANs for all my devices. That's always fun to manage. pfSense is amazing.
scenic radish
tying both line and neutral together 😱
brave panther
yeah they're actually in phase with each other so i'm not sure what the heck is the deal.
scenic radish
no like... that creates a short circuit lol
brave panther
if they were out of phase, that'd be different and i'd not have done that
to be honest i'm wondering if there already is.
like, why else would there be voltage on my neutral line
scenic radish
you sure they're actually line and neutral?
brave panther
it should be 0V reference to ground
scenic radish
that would should trip your breaker immediately
brave panther
well there's the copper, and black and white.
i'm pretty sure.
i could trace it out.
scenic radish
and/or destroy something lol
fallow galleon
That's ghost voltage
brave panther
haha yeah. to be fair i'm somewhat comfortable with electricity - installing circuits and chopping live wire to add receptacles. i'm super cautious. but yeah idk about that.
scenic radish
also here's a funny (scary) read on someone who tied line and neutral together after removing an appliance: https://diy.stackexchange.com/questions/100511/why-dont-you-connect-unused-hot-and-neutral-wires-to-complete-the-circuit
brave panther
@fallow galleon I wondered the same thing, but the fact that it didn't pop the breaker piqued my curiosity...
and lol @ that post
same reason you don't do that in a DC circuit 🙂
at least some resistance
brave panther
heck my 12V sealed lead acid battery can spot weld my screwdriver..
that's possible.
attic has ... less than great wiring. i'm working on replacing a lot.
scenic radish
this is my favorite part of that entire thread i linked above:
Every unused outlet in the house is an "incomplete circuit". Presumably you don't install jumper wires across each outlet every time you unplug something, right?
brave panther
i noticed it when installing a transformer for a doorbell, did my due diligence and checked if the wire was hot and it read ~65V reference to ground. but idk.
tidal bronze
@last dirge you mean a shower @peak cloud 🙂
brave panther
the circuit basically goes from breaker, through the walls, to a light (that was on at the time), and to a fan in the attic (that was off) and then back to the circuit breaker. I tapped off of the midpoint between the light and fan and added the transformer and a junction box and a plug but i tested that before making any changes. anywho, i'm leaving it as is for now but something i'll keep in the back of my head.

You can always run cat5
peak cloud
@brave panther Not sure if it's been mentioned, but wanted to go ahead and give my 2 cents on a possible way to find the problem. Can you shut all breakers off and test the circuits of each zone one at a time?
brave panther
Thanks dale, I may do that one day but for now I am not going to goof with it
It's probably just ghost voltage or open ground.
peak cloud
Like you, I am comfortable with electrical, but I am no pro. I know just enough to wire up stuff the right way. 😂
fallow galleon
I had that measurement in the attic as well. In fact just last month.
long story short, the existing wire doesn't have ground so I have the ground wire from the bathroom fan just hanging. when I measure between ground and neutral, it's ~60v
peak cloud
The first time I realized that ground/earth is tied to neutral at the panel blew my mind. I was so confused.
fallow galleon
I thought something was leaking at first. Took me almost an hour to find out
peak cloud
@tidal bronze Have you tried any of the new 100W PoE stuff yet?
tidal bronze
Not yet
brave panther
Lol Afya. Yeah a lot of people think it's some magical special protection line but in reality, for all intents and purposes, ground and neutral are the same and ground is just a backup pathway in case neutral gets severed.
they literally go into the same grounding bar in the breaker box.
Another thing that a lot of folks don't realize is that in a DC circuit, electrons actually flow from negative to positive. it's almost like they're being "sucked" towards the positive lead.
thank Ben Franklin for the "positive" and "negative" conventions. 🙂
hushed basalt
The ground and neutral are tied together so earth faults work correctly
last dirge
@hushed basalt yeah but they're only supposed to be tied together in one place
hushed basalt
Imagine you have a refrigerator, and it has active and neutral connected to the motor circuit, and earth is tied to the chassis.
The active wire insulation in the fridge breaks down, and comes in contact with the chassis of the fridge.
The active conductor rushes through the earth wiring and trips the RCD, or potentially the circuit breaker if the RCD doesn't go off first.
Now say earth and neutral aren't tied. The active connector comes in contact with the fridge chassis. The fridge chassis is now active, but nothing happens. Because there's no circuit
brave panther
yup so in the event your device somehow cuts the cord and bridges line to ground, the resistive load is no longer present and that should trip the breaker. or start a fire from all the heat...
hushed basalt
You go about your business, years go by with a hot fridge 🥁
And then your toasters neutral connector breaks down
brave panther
then you step on the basement ground barefoot and open the fridge and get a tingling in your foot...
hushed basalt
You pop the toaster at the same time as opening the fridge door
And your heart is now the new load
And ain't no RCD going to save you
brave panther
i had the issue at my old place where my computer chassis would shock me with 60V in the basement if i walked around barefoot and touched it with th eback of my hand. never could find the cause.
hushed basalt
I think that's part of SMPSs
A floating potential sent to earth, but no current behind it
My xbox 360 power supply did the same thing
scenic radish
another fun feature of the 360 power supply is that you could unplug it and the LED stays lit for like 2 minutes
residual powaaaaaa
wet pilot
caps take time to drain and LEDs are low load
hushed basalt
t = R x C
low harness
And it's not like the C64 where the LED is an integral part of the power circuit...

High resistance (no load) x capacitance = lotsa time
That probably would have been a filament lol

Heya
solar epoch
@tidal bronze that's awesome, are you pulling that all through and intellitouch? mines all relay controlled to avoid buying a intellitouch or similar
tidal bronze
Nopes. Goal is to do everything intellitouch does without using intellitouch. 🙂 Running a wiifi pi3 b+ and using nodejs pool controller. If you have VF/VS pump you can bypass and talk RS485 direct to the pump and get all the data.
Simply brilliant https://github.com/tagyoureit/nodejs-poolController
solar epoch
@tidal bronze i have seen that before a while back. i will have to give it another look, i got a pi 3 sitting around. but that would be nice to free up three of my relays for other stuff and control/ read data back from the pump...
tidal bronze
It's pretty simple to setup can get the interface cable for around $10 on ebay if not $69 and usb to rs485 is about $6.99 🙂
Was a bit of a task to setup the initial rest sensors can share the config once you have the interface going.

@tidal bronze that would be much appreciated - code / programming is not my forte.

Urgh terrible building standards here
It's 9am and without aircon on my interior is 5 degrees hotter than exterior
It's almost as if our houses are designed to gain heat in summer and loose it in winter on purpose
strange vapor
@hushed basalt One of my team has moved from Ireland to San Fran for a few years with family. He's still in shock at how badly insulated the houses are there. He's paying over 3k a month for a house in the Bay Area. If it's hot out side, the Aircon is fairly handy, if it's cold out, you're sort of screwed.
hushed basalt
All this talk about carbon and electricity prices. And no one ever addresses the elephant in the room.
But if people were more aware of how terrible standards are, developers would get lower ROI, and guess who are major political donors ;)
Also demand for coal and gas and oil would be lower if people didn't use so much energy to heat and cool.

Speaking of, I just bought my first smart thermostat!

Temperature is only one part of comfort
Humidity, radiant heat from thermal masses, air flow are all huge factors

Don't forget cosmic alignment

68F inside 95+ outside coupled with poor insulation == aircon that doesn't turn off

@daring inlet do you have humidity sensors
I'd be curious to know the relative humidity
daring inlet
Not yet but I just ordered an ecobee so I will!
I have a whole house humidifier to hook up to that as well (if I can)
daring inlet
That's alright
hushed basalt
I would say you need a dehumidifier
But without the right air tightness in your house it's wasted effort
daring inlet
Dehumidifier? Nah it gets pretty dang dry sometimes here
scenic radish
Oddly enough I can't get the dew point low enough in my place during the winter.
daring inlet
@wet pilot you have an ecobee?

Usually 40-60%
daring inlet
What version?

Ahh ok. I just bought the "new" version (4v2/5/whatever it's called)
I wonder if the remote sensors are improved at all

16.5 C dew point. Pretty high for the winter but I'm guessing it's hot where you're at

This is my first real "smart" product so far
Or rather home automation product anyway

y'all don't really do central air there right?

Even far south I don't think it's too bad. Certainly not Norwat levels
It only snows in mountains in the south
For americans and europeans with ducted air conditioners
Do you have return ducts for every supply duct, or just like a common return duct in the hallway?

scenic radish
One 12" x 24" return. 7 conditioned rooms, one supply each
I'm...not convinced that's enough return area but it doesn't seem to cause issues
wet pilot
someone mathed it out at one point. its probably the bare minimum 😛
hushed basalt
Every system I've ever seen in Australia only has one return vent per system

It's super dumb though because your aircon doesn't work properly when your doors are shut

If I close the baby's room the room gets super cold/hot
But if I open the door light and noise gets in
wet pilot
i've seen some trick strike-plates have have a 2nd hole to partially close a door but keep it latched
hushed basalt
Plus from a pressure point of view, the supply air would just get pushed out the windows and ceiling leaks
wet pilot
that's the main issue
hushed basalt
Which means outdoor air gets sucked into the return area
wet pilot
unless you get a variable speed blower the back-pressure isn't good for it either
hushed basalt
Indeed
I'm a big fan of splits myself
Solves all those issues.
Bulkhead cartridges can look pretty schmick too if they're done right
Plus you don't need to run a whole house to cool one master bedroom at night
Have you ever come across heat recovery ventilators @wet pilot
daring inlet
See, the problem with that around here is that the temps outside can fluctuate extremely wildly, and to heat up a house or cool one down after it's not been temperature controlled often takes more energy than simply leaving it as being temp controlled
hushed basalt
It's complicated
daring inlet
You may be fine in one room for a number of hours but trying to heat up another one when you move costs too much to do often (even daily)
hushed basalt
If you put some power meters on your circuits you could find out imperically
daring inlet
If you generally have moderate climate and consistency though I can see that being possible. Often in spring and fall months I keep the heater off completely
That's true. I'm tempted to do that (I've been slowly rewiring the house anyway due to old wiring and adding new AFCIs)
scenic radish
@hushed basalt I know that wasn't directed at me but I wish I had an HRV
scenic radish
Yup. I think it's decent at my place (casement windows, good weatherstripping on exterior doors) but I've never had a blower door test done
Would be very curious
hushed basalt
I'd say if it wasn't built and designed for air tightness it'd probably be way too loose
steel urchin
now when you say 11 rooms, do you mean rooms?
this new house we're in has returns in every room, which is awesome
aaaand i realized i'm scrolled up
hushed basalt
You should look into them
They're kind of like a radiator. But instead of heat transfer of air/fluid. They're air/air.
And with high quality filters on the incoming supply, and an airtight house. They give you a super clean house environment.
wet pilot
nice. Low quality builder of this house though so airtight is never going to happen
scenic radish
@hushed basalt in some cases they also allow for "passive cooling" when the air outside is significantly lower than the inside (and is also dry)
Air handler runs and some of the air comes from the ventilator
hushed basalt
Yeah summer bypass
Super useful here
It was 15 degrees cooler outside last night than indoors
wet pilot
i'll usually crack open some windows if the humidity isn't terrible
(which it usually is)
hushed basalt
Windows are such a pita haha
Have to get the key, open the blinds, unlock the window, unwind, lock in place, lower blinds,
Repeat 4 or 5 times.
Put key back.
Then do it all again when it's time to close the windows
wet pilot
the new windows we just put in have triangle tabs in the top sashes that can stop the window partially open. this way they can be open and not be that much less secure than windows usually are
hushed basalt
Ah that's handy
I guess you still have the air pollution problem though
And the lack of automation
wet pilot
eh, suburbia, not too terrible here. humidity is our only problem
hushed basalt
I did the math, and ignoring the air pollution, window winders and such would cost way more than just more solar, better windows, better insulation etc
To counter act the loss of "free" cross ventilation
daring inlet
wait. key? for a window?

have to keep the drop bears out

Gotta watch out for those drop bears
daring inlet
You know, speaking of securing against drop bears, I'd like to find some smart locks or strikes that can integrate into a smart home environment, but everything off the shelf seems to be battery powered
or not exactly home-friendly
wet pilot
eh, the consumer industry disagrees. its much easier to add something that doesn't require running wires
scenic radish
I prefer human-powered deadbolts
wet pilot
but you could probably retro a commercial strike-plate system and hook it up to an esp or something
scenic radish
Something something electronic strike
daring inlet
what a lucky strike
and yeah I was looking at strike plates but I don't care much for them (and on the doors I'd use them on, there are wooden frames)
so that would kind of be annoying

so with that, you're still very dependent on vendors

No
steel urchin
in that, you have a sub-mesh that completely goes bye bye if that transponder dies

i mean, we already have the abstraction of how to interact with messages and events/etc with HA, so normalizing every proprietary protocol with a singular protocol has no added value
scenic radish
@clear ferry i do
steel urchin
anyway, i was wondering what you really gained from zigbee2mqtt with HA involved
i can see writing my own mqtt broker at some point and that becoming a critical path, but in context of HA i feel i'm missing something or .. maybe i'm not?
clever mortar
Well, #zigbee-archived would be a good place to talk about that
steel urchin
fair
clever mortar
But, it's about separating the location of the Zigbee stick from the location of HA
So, run HA in the rack in the basement, run the Zigbee controller in the middle of the house
steel urchin
i see, so mesh's that are too spread can be bridged with mqtt over the wifi
makes sense now! didn't even think in that context

@languid robin personally I've thought about it and I would go with regular/dimmable bulbs (unless you need color control or something like that), and smart sockets/switches/outlets.

Depends what you want them for @analog copper . If you just want white/warm white, any cheap tuya-based ones will work. The cheap ones are terrible at colour reproduction however.
I just ended up biting the bullet and going full Hue. Quality of those is great, and if you can wait until sale periods, they're often half price or less.

Gotcha thanks

@analog copper I love tradfri for the price to feature
But hue is the superior bulb
Yeelight is also good

There's definitely some Hue stuff that is quite dated/overpriced now. I would stay away from LED strips from Hue. But their normal colour and warm white bulbs are quite good. Tradfri stuff can apparently be added to your Hue network pretty easily too.

Gledopto is also a good competition, I'm considering buying some of their rgbw for my outdoor lights

@clear ferry Of course it's not metered. Only murica is that stupid. I've never had a metered connection.
