Thanks for listening to my poster session!!
My own blog post I wrote because getting this going was kind of fun. Using the LYWSD03MMC with Home Assistant
Some very valuable YouTube videos. Perhaps I wouldn't normally just go and find DIY videos on YouTube, but maybe because I met Arkie in real life makes the videos much more legitimate for me. They're scrappy, a bit like "Public Broadcasting", and very useful. DIY Draught Proofing Videos with "Arkie"
Basically the tl;dr and intro to draught-proofing.

I can't remember how I found Airgradient but then I found that they used Stripe as well when I was buying one! I met Aachim the founder along with @tee when he was with Stripe. He has built this company out of personally having to manage air quality with his children and them being outdoors / at school during the seasonal burn offs that happen in SEA.
The devices are very good, easy to set up, and are 1/5th to 1/10th the price of equivalently powerful things on the market.

I use Amber Electric in Australia, just to make sure I'm not delving into hyper-fanboyism for the company, I've been tracking all my electrical bills so I can prove to myself that doing it this way is better than just having two flat rates.

One of my favorite YouTube channels, the main guy is a professional (or at least the editing makes it seem very much so) but he seems to have a huge memory for building codes and regulations. People hire him to come audit their properties post-build and he sometimes delivers some pretty sad news. There's also plenty of drama with negligent builders who tell him to get off the property and even an episode where the police come. Definitely some very interesting housing && reality TV
