Status: Sheltering in place, we have plenty of supplies.
Plans: Make grocery lists for tomorrow morning. Continue working on the house and take long naps.
Narrative: Church this morning was very good, we talked about being still for a change and listen. We also walked around the block to get some exercise.
I am still working out the engineering of my IOT using “Home Assistant”, I already have a lot of stand alone devices that will be incorporated into the H.A. platform.
The next problem is to solve how to interconnect the power wires. I want the NodeMCU’s to be airtight and running wire in and out of these boxes is inherently not.
I connected a pair of batteries to our portable freezer and measured the power consumption. To my pleasant surprise it drew a little over 50 watts with a peak load around 60 watts. (I was expecting a much larger surge on compressor startup.) We can easily run this unit on the two solar panels that are on the roof. I am making arrangements to double the panels up there, then they can power our CPAPs and the portable refrigerator without using a generator. Which was the whole idea of buying one!
Feelings:
Tomorrow: Go grocery shopping in the morning at 07:00, we have about three weeks of meals less produce. We buy produce week to week.
