That’s incredible.

I have an airtouch which I love but my parents have a Mitsubishi system that I’m fairly sure would be compatible, and a large floor space to manage.

Apologies for the question, but for multi zone, you mention that the controller can pick up temperature. My understanding was that temperature is only captured at the intake, not in zones? (I’m familiar with airtouch where I have ?BTLE temperature sensors in the rooms/zones that are paired to my system). But how does this work with a Mitsubishi zoned system? Or am k over-reading the capabilities. (Or is it a similar deal, I just haven’t seen where to acquire these zone temp sensors from)

Thanks! I just took a look at AirTouch. It seems they have a nice ecosystem. Their Mitsubishi Electric offerings [1] use the CN105 port (like the OP's device).

I use the word zones on the Serin Multi Zone product page but it's interchangeable with indoor units. One indoor unit equals one zone.

You can override the room (intake) temperature per indoor unit/zone using a controller plugged into the CN105 port (like the OP wrote about). Depending on the controller, it can pair with a Bluetooth sensor or listen to any other type of sensor from Home Assistant. By going the ESP32 path, you can use simple, off the shelf $10 BLE sensors.

The Serin multi zone controller uses the centralized communication bus which isn't capable of overriding the indoor unit's room (intake) temperature. But if that is a must (which it is for ducted units), you can have both the multi-zone controller and a controller at every indoor unit without issue. So if you have an MHK2 thermostat on the wall and don't want to use their Kumo app anymore, the Serin multi zone controller will give you local control and you'll be able to retain the remote temperature sensor from the MHK2 thermostat.

I appreciate you taking the time to reply - that helps a lot. So essentially I get this and plug it into the CN105 port, and then everything will be in home assistant and I can get room/zone temperature control via BLE as well.

Spot on. If you're using Home Assistant, you can push any temperature sensor available. Zigbee, Zwave, BLE, 433mhz rtl sdr, etc. At one point, I was using the proprietary temperature sensors that were paired with my ecobee thermostat (for my ancient natural gas fired hydronic boiler). For the BLE sensors, your HA server must have bluetooth capabilities. I use a bluetooth dongle attached to a short USB extension cord.

One of the reasons this is such a long bow to draw is that, as you have absurdly reiterated and an earlier commenter posited, this is Lamarckism. If it is true, where are all the sapient reindeer and other animals that have consumed these substances as a species for as long or longer than we have existed?

I see what you did here - you assumed sapient animals HAVE to create technological civilization, didn't you?

Maybe they are sapient - you know, like the dolphins from the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy :)

If you believe that the people who will profit from new, better, more hyped models are the same ones who will act against their own immediate and tangible self interest to try and avert what seems to them to be a far away removed possibility of total disaster, then I believe you are naive

Can you be specific about what your bloodwork results showed and what special insights your CGM gave you and what behavioural changes it led to?

My anecdotal experience from doctor colleagues giving CGM to patients is that it does 3/5ths of fuck all to everyone except those with actual insulin dependent diabetes (T1 or T2) because when you get down to it the insights aren’t that great and most people actually aren’t that invested in shifting the dial on their health that much. But I’m fascinated by examples to the contrary

Seeing just how much rice can impact your blood sugar is eye opening. Sticking to a "half the normal amount" of rice when eating Indian/Asian food can help a lot with blood sugar. And keeping blood sugar in check _seems_ to have a fair amount of researching backing up the idea that it's healthier and makes you feel better

Sure it impacts it. But what does that matter? Your body is very efficient as self regulating

It matters because high blood sugar isn't great for the body (nor is low blood sugar). A normal, non-diabetic's blood sugar might spike to 120/130 after a balanced meal. But that same person's blood sugar might spike up to 160/170 after something carb-heavy. So sure, the body corrects for it - but it would be healthier if it didn't go into that higher range at all.

It is very efficient until it's not. When it's not, it sucks. You don't have to have full on diabetes to experience the suck.

> Your body is very efficient as self regulating

Yet the mind of most people is terrible at that, we love to overeat our body regulations.

For sure it's going to depend on the person, but I bet a lot of the hacker news crowd here appreciates observability and metrics.

In software we're wiring up stuff with prometheus and making grafana dashboards and changing code and configuration based on what we see happening. CGMs in a way give you insight into one aspect of your body and diet.

I've been trying Lingo, and it's been super-interesting to see in almost realtime how your body reacts to different foods. Sure you read all the time about "watch your carbs..." or "don't eat so much sugar", but it's hard to know how seriously to take that advice.

It's a whole different thing though when you eat one thing for a snack and see a big spike in a graph on your phone, and eat a different thing the next day and see hardly any change at all. It makes it much easier to rationalize your food choices.

I did it for a month and learned what kinds of things led to spikes and what did not and it wasn’t always obvious without the monitor.

My story is: I had a really bad crash after eating a chocolate, which never happened before. That prompted the bloodwork, which shown that A1c was not where it's supposed to be.

I bought CGM myself, without any doctor's input. Didn't know they exist before reading some selfhelp book which my wife found.

Echoing another poster, it's eye opening how some of the foods you'd never think of, are spiking glucose levels.

Overall, after both me and my wife adjusted diet, much better energy through the day, no crashes.

What is going on with your account? Years of barely posting, and now lots of poor English highly controversial posts. Is this a sock puppet account?

And why is it never like, a lovable German weirdo? Why is it always tankies?

It was probably compromised by credential stuffing.

I had to check that, It is 129 million

Putting aside the sycophantic wording around the orange leader and the total lack of details of how it's going to achieve what they are promising and what is actually going to happen, it's funny to see the distinction between gov officials and the Duke exec:

  Gov: valued at $129 million and reinvest that same amount in additional generating capacity


  Duke: will reinvest nearly $129 million in additional generating capacity, which may include

To the best of my knowledge fish eggs are fertilised outside the body

Not all.

There are many internal or quasi-internal fertilization oviparous species.

And, in sharks at least, ovoviviparous and even placental species

There is an api to present the modal and manage the reporting but the developer has to instantiate the showing of it. If you leave that out then it never presents

I was trying to understand how to do this, and I formed the opinion that most of the battery providers don’t really allow the degree of ‘on/off’ or ‘charge/discharge’ customisation as might be necessary to make this work? Or was I fooled by the packaged products that are aiming to turn me and my battery and panels into a residential power plant at the whim of the energy company?

The most popular batteries provide all the customization you need and more. Soo many features... it is exhausting. Even 'AI' modes trying to predict usage and solar generation using weather forecasts and top up from the grid at cheap rates if it thinks the power will probably be needed. A battery like Sigenergy's you can setup on a time based charging schedule (most popular for the free power plans), or have it pull Amber's live wholesale rates and put it into AI mode to avoid using their SmartShift VPP, or just hand over the keys to a VPP provider and let them drive.

Ours is a FoxES or something and the included app is pretty straight forward. You can easily set it to ALWAYS pull from the grid during specific times and it will (along with the solar), charge the battery to capacity during that time.

You can set your own timing schedule and choose self-consumption or to sell back to the grid. Joining a VPP is optional.
