💚 Our Family's Electrotech Journey 🌞🏡🔌⛽️🚘️ (emf2026)

The story of how we went all electric, ditched fossil fuels, disconnected our gas supply and stopped burning stuff, and how you can too. Our experience of converting a ~100 year old semi-detached house to modern clean living, and electrifying other parts of our lifestyle, such as travelling without flying. Advice on switching to (and charging) electric vehicles, solar panels and home batteries, insulation, induction hobs and heat pumps. Mistakes made, lessons learned, what we'd do differently next time and how much it saves us. How to monitor, control and automate your low carbon tech with open energy monitor and home assistant. Tips for making things work together well and play nicely with each other. The perils of cloud integrations and vendors shutting down systems. Also covering self-built (and bought) air quality monitors for citizen science and environmental monitoring of the changes in air pollution. How to make projects such as Sensor Community and pull the data into your local home management system. Discover how to be greener, healthier, safer, more resilient/secure, spend less money and have fun geeking out on it along the way. Learn from our real-world experience in this electrifying talk.
