Call for personal Apilio setups for sustainability

[pebneter]

Hi everyone!

Apilio was selected to present at the 1st international Conference on Digitalisation and Sustainability.

To show the potential of smart home automation to contribute to more sustainable living, I’m looking for community projects that support that goal. I would like to showcase some of them (anonymously of course) to show what great projects can be made real with a little creativity, simple hardware and Apilio!

So if you have a setup that is related to energy use (automated lightning, heating / cooling, water usage, …) please contact me via a comment, personal message or a chat!
You would help me a lot and make us happy if we could present a couple of projects from around the world, from simple to advanced.

Don’t be shy and I promise there won’t be any work involved for you

Best
Philipp

I have a Netamo weather station and that had an external temperature gage. So when the temperature rose above 15C it would set my next thermostat to 9C. And when dropped below 15 C set the thermostat to 18C Another thing was that nest took so long to realise no one was home it potentially heated an empty house so when Apilio switched to awa…

This is what I was using until I messed up

Also use motion sensors to turn on lights, and presence sensing to make sure lights and heating go off

Hope that helps
