Looking forward to testing out the new Hoobs Pro hub for the new house! In theory it’s got everything on my smart home wishlist, but how well will it actually work? Any other recommendations for a cross platform, local controlled, off the shelf and ready to go hub?

@nmn @gruber I’m really looking forward to trying it out for myself. That’s been one of my main issues with every headset I’ve tried.

: A new two month long study finds that offshore wind turbines caused zero bird deaths or collisions in the north sea! News Source: https://group.vattenfall.com/press-and-media/newsroom/2023/unique-study-birds-avoid-wind-turbine-blades

@xs4me2 Yes, but if you look at how the study was done, it's impressive and very detailed. Don't discount it. This isn’t "birds don't get killed by turbines," but instead that birds didn't get killed by offshore turbines in this specific location. We need to replicate this study everywhere to get a better grasp of how location impacts specific bird populations. It could help us figure out better tactics to reduce the impact on bird and bat populations.

@DBailey635 I’m actually getting geothermal at my new house. 👍

@Primetime nuclear is and will be part of the mix for sure. Unfortunately it’s crazy expensive compared to other options, but that may be changing with companies like Last Energy.

mattferrell,
@mattferrell@mastodon.social avatar

@Primetime solar on top of existing infrastructure is a no-brainer. It’s why I’m a big advocate of “all of the above” solutions and not just one type to rule them all.

mattferrell,
@mattferrell@mastodon.social avatar

@DBailey635 Yep! In fact I’m going to have a couple. The first is documenting some of the installation experience (like the well drilling), which should be out May 23rd. Later in the summer I’ll go into more on the system after I’m moved in and living with it.
