    Inorite? ;)

    I was thinking that I could wire another one up in my taco once I get a flippac and install my webasto heater. Generally the 3M50 requires internet access if you want to use the RTCA app, but there's another app that can control it directly, but lacks the scheduling capability you'd get by using the cloud services.

    The interesting thing about the CT30 and the CT80 from RTCA is that they have an open API that people can use to develop their own apps from.

    There's another company www.ourhomespaces.com that actually develops their own app and works with CloudBeam's home automation UNSAP Wifi Module. Our Home Space's app has with a different feature set and interface, and also includes other cloudbeam services like:


    • lighting
    • cameras
    • solar
    • water heaters
    • locks
    • power circuits
    • and equipment (sump pump, doors, gates, etc)


    The whole idea of home automation is pretty wild. :)


    But I'm just happy that I don't have to get out of my tipi to change the thermostat anymore.

    Get a nest. Much nicer. Plus, you'll actually save money when you're not home-it sense that and turns the heat/cool off.

    You can control it from your phone or browser.

    I love a freezing cold house haha. I get mad when my brother turns on the heater and lets it run during the night. I got a comfy blanket I throw on during the winter and I sleep 10x better with it than I do with my two thin sheets during the warmer weather.

    We had a nest this summer, but the Stellar Jays were using it. Besides, I really don't see how a nest will help. :wink:

    Speaking of driving in the snow...

    Headed back up to the Mendo national forest for a bit of fun snow wheeling and a little more firewood harvesting :) funnnnnnnn times. There was a perfect amount of snow up there, about 6-12 inches over a nice thick sticky mud base :D plenty of slippin and slidin, but no digging out or burying the truck. Plus bluebird skies! Couldn't ask for more.

    If any of you North Bay folks (or anybody, really...) are interested in heading up let me know, I know stroM- was down to roll. We should go mess around up there.

    Your Milgards have film? Mine are maybe 9 years old and still look new. Had the whole house done so it's not window location to sun..

    The glass on mine are actually tinted (not film but slightly darkened glass like our trucks) as well as glazed with something called E Low Sun Coat. or something like that. I remembered it because of J Lo. HAHA.

    Hey I can help you understand them. That's all I did for the past three months is get people signed up for their medical. :)

    Almost all dual pane windows use a film between the panes. Many are also filled with inert gas to help with insulation too. The front of my house is in direct sun during the day.
