I think MWh is meant, otherwise it makes no sense

My 90sqm bungalow in the U.K. uses about 15MWh a year for heating - 1500 litres of oil, almost all in winter. Peak load is about 2.5kW over a day (60kWh)

24k kWh

They also have not prosecuted the earlier genocides they made: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indonesian_mass_killings_of_19...

I have personally flagged them as a country non-grata.

Must be quite low power engine + small battery system for that to work and translate to the promised charging time

You are correct. Some devices expose local API's, most have walled garden cloud API's

Before buying a device, it is a good idea to check if there are open source adapters for it for Home Assistant, those usually show if it can be controlled easily and preferably without cloud.

I work for a company that does exactly that (for heating systems, especially heat pumps). If anyone is interested: https://www.kapacity.io/

RIP, his work made a huge impression on me. And I admire the dignity to go when one chooses.

I guess we are all Dying, Fast and Slow.

Could you elaborate? Or link some source? I could quickly find this pointing towards them running their own servers https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/27606

If the current state of GH availability is without Azure-induced additional unreliability, I truly fear what it will be on Azure

Edit: Found the discussion about this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45517173

I fear that

Depends on the CAPEX and OPEX requirements. If it is cheap to do, it could be a solid win, but if the plant requires a lot of capital, it might be cheaper to just take the hit on efficiency

Yes the brine could just be diluted wih gray water to reduce the environnemental impact without the energy recovery of the osmotic plant and the capital can be invested in other renewable with better efficiency.

That being said it's a first so it's a pilot project needed to have feedback on a real plant in operation and not just back of the enveloppe calculations and suppositions. Sometime you need to just build the thing to encounter problems, issues or non-issues.
