Status: Sheltering in place, we have plenty of food and supplies.
We’ve installed a new Air Conditioner and there is a terrible amount of work to be accomplished. The highest priority is insulate the ducts against moisture and clean up the living room. I have to run a new duct to the living room and bedroom to give the air handler more flow. There’s a 8″ and a 10″ trunk which is 600CFM, we need one more 8″ duct from the plenum to make 800CFM.
Need to sort the church audio stuff and get it back into storage. (out of the living room and Bedroom) Then get the stuff I moved from my cave out of the living room.
My EcoFlow R600 Pro won’t be shipped until the end of the month, I should get it around Christmas.
Tell me, how many nights have you almost missed the sunset? How many arguments have you almost won? How many mistakes have you almost made? How many cities have you almost flown to? How many snapshots have you almost taken?
Chances are, you don’t remember. No-one does

Narrative: I’m skipping the time bullets today. We got up and are drinking our Dominican Coffee this morning, it’s delicious! Slept pretty good, the outside temperatures are very moderate at 65 degrees. The dehumidifier runs a lot but the air conditioner is idle for the most part.
I’m up, waiting on the Coffee to brew, reading about tearing down statues by vandalism. They have the advantage, peacefully protest to the base of the statue and then put a chain around it to pull it down. Then march away peacefully as a “Mostly Peaceful Protest” like they’ve been doing for BLM International all year.
Sometimes we happen upon a really cool feature of our home electronics. Our new 10K$ A/C unit came with an online application called Nexia and I just found out that it integrates with Home Assistant (NodeMCU). I can now graph the run percentages of the compressor and whether it is heating or cooling! I also get temp and humidity readings from the thermostat graphed as well. Can’t wait until I have a couple days worth of data to compare all the other sensors. I have a remote thermostat that i keep in the bedroom with a tiny (200W) temp controlled personal heater to put the finishing touches on the temperature. The Air conditioner keeps it below 76 degrees and the heaters keep it at/above 74 degrees. (Within .3 degrees) Heaters can cycle quickly with very little latent heat.
I found out today that the dehumidifier cycles every six minutes because the fan runs a minute or so after the compressor shuts off. This dries out the coils and raises the humidity more than 2% in the living room, which in turn turns the dehumidifier right back on. The fix is to use Home Assistant to turn off the Dehumidifier and not let it’s fan push the moisture right back into the air.
