A photo of two large bags of "Pink Batts" ceiling insulation.

It's all happening today, we're taking advantage of the fact that Beanie is over at my parents' place to get the ceiling insulation redone as well. (The people that put the ducted aircon in that was put in before we bought the place had just pulled the existing insulation back in places and not replaced it).

A photo of a small LCD display showing indoor and outdoor temperature, how much power we're consuming and producing from the solar panels, and the battery charge percentage. Next to the percentage is a green up arrow that indicates it's being charged, if it's discharging it changes to a red down arrow.

I have of course updated my little Pi display to pull data from the Powerwall, and added the battery charge percentage and whether it's charging or discharging. 😎
