Jeff, I think I speak for most when I say how inspirational you are, being a first time home buyer, I cannot wait to start deploying my own infrastructure.. this is just additive to that excitement. You're a true credit to the community, I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to break down individual pieces of your home automation setup.. you're such a breath of fresh air comparative to most SLT I've encountered.. the way you notably seek to augment the knowledge base of up and coming technicians.. truly, thank you.
Jeff, your series of videos are amazing! I'm currently in the process of building my first home and I'm doing the electrical and plumbing together with my father. Some things are different here in Greece but I took so many ideas already from your videos. Every morning in the last few days I wake up, pour some coffee and I start my day by watching your videos.
You would like the Netherlands for that. Meters have by law an RJ11 telemetry port which you can hook up to. Gives a bunch of good information about consumptions, power, etc. It's called P1 port.
Even though I am not the biggest fan on 110V, those breakers are very neat. I hate the breakers we use in europe, so hard to organize wiring and in general they use a lot of space.
i love these videos, looking forward to the one about power factor, apparent power vs real power - also it was pretty interesting to see the 24hr graph for ACs where you can see how its' cycling which I presume is to keep the room at a specific temp
Yea the SPAN panels are cool, especially for smaller projects where you have just one panel. They do support a multipanel mode, but not really if you have 6-8 panels. I suspect the other major panels like SquareD will eventually have more built in measurement support.
I meant to mention that... No, it works, which did surprise me a little. I do have an AP in the ceiling somewhat nearby each of the panel locations. It is 2.4Ghz wifi, and that is pretty good at making it through small spaces, drywall, etc. It is also pretty low bandwidth so that makes the overall signal demand less.
See the homelab psu has a steady draw of power, as expected. After having the monitors installed for some time, are there any unexpected high energy use circuits/appliances that you have found?
Love this channel but if I could suggest one thing: Dont use AI generated images for your video covers, my brain and many others are already trained to skip over these bc they generally imply low quality content
CTO turned youtuber? yes please, I'll watch everyday.
This channel is pure gold.
This man has the youtube algorithm at his fingertips
Really appreciate the knowledge! I will be installing these when I purchase a house. Please continue info dumping anything you like!
Haha call that ACknowledge

Acutally super interesting. I never cared enough to look up how a breakerboard worked. Now I know! Thanks Jeff!
I love these videos! Learning so much!!
Jeff I think we are all waiting for a video on the r32!
All these videos are bangers
Need more of these videos have been watching for days

Great videos Jeff, please keep up with good job!
I'd love to see a quick video on how you are feeding data to your permanent status displays. What sort of device is behind the scenes?
Probably a Pi running a browser. Grafana runs elsewhere and pulls data from influx etc
Great stuff Jeff! I would be curious to see something about your workflow personally and how you extend it with automation...

TY Jeff!
Worth mentioning newer smart panels like Span that integrate circuit monitoring.

Is there any issue with the WiFi connection when enclosing that device inside a metal box?

Hey Jeff, r u running a neutral from your 240v runs? It's required here in Australia where we run 240v everywhere.
Where do you buy the IoTawatt? I couldn’t find it in Amazon or eBay. Also how much it costs? Will be great if you share a link where to buy them
stuff.iotawatt.com/product/iotawatt-120v-kit/?v=7516fd43adaa
I'll add a link to the description. Thanks for mentioning that.
@@jeffsponaugle6339 thanks!

what is cost for your home lab - how much have you spent in putting your homelab
Eye-oat-a-watt.
Good god man.
Doh!
What does your main power panel and transfer switch look like?
I'm going to do a video about the power system overall, as there are a few interesting things in that system.
Jeff, what're you looking forward to in the future of technology? Do you use AI as a tool for your work at all?
Jeff did you just say 10 electrical panels?

Ah interesting. Good feedback.
For basic home lab ZigBee energy monitors are very inexpensive.
