Earth Notes: On Website Technicals (2022-07)

Updated 2025-03-28.
Tech updates: hot, cross (references).
This month and next were very quiet (eg expected low AdSense revenue) due to the hot (38°C at 16WW!) weather, and holidays are upon us.

2022-07-30: Energy Event Cross References

Today I created a list of energy system events/changes such as the Thermino installation, and cross-references between them and entries in the energy series tables.

By this I hope to make it easier to tell which events/changes made a difference to which variables.

Cut-down cross-referencing also applies to all energy table summary inserts.

As of there are 37 events listed, spanning:

2004-06-14,"Moved in; occupancy 2","saving-electricity.html#meterbefore",imp,gas,con
...
2024-11-25,"Gas boiler removal and heat-pump installation","Octopus-heat-pump-journey.html",imp,exp,net,flow,con,battc,battd,gas,conexDHW,conexeh,h1d,h1b,h1,h2d,h2b,h2,heat,immDHW,divDHW,hph4
2024-12-12,"Grid-tied solar PV cleaned",,gen,gen1,gen2
2025-02-28,"Thermino heat battery reconnected","reconnecting-the-16WW-heat-battery.html",imp,exp,net,flow,h2,h2d,h2b,con,conexDHW,heat,immDHW,divDHW,hph4

2022-07-19: Hot Hot Hot

Probably the hottest day ever in the UK today (touching 38°C at EOU Towers) and nothing has fallen over yet, amazingly. The kitchen is still the coolest room in the house even though the Thermino and all RPis are here (so I am working from it today)!

house temperatures vs porch/outside around UK heatwave
Internal and external (4o) temperatures as measured by the Radbots. No magic smoke visibly escaped any equipment!
lead-acid off-grid battery store temperature vs porch/outside around UK heatwave
Lead-acid battery temperature and external (4o) temperature. Probably life has been shortened for the off-grid lead-acid battery since it got as hot as ~33°C!
