  • The electrical code in my area requires using GFCI outlet for outlets within a certain distance of water source. I don’t remember precisely the distance (and it likely vary a bit by jurisdiciton), but i know that in my bathroom, there’s nowhere beyond it.

    In order to use that sort of outlet in a bathroom like mine, it would have to have GFCI protection as well as USB, be a second outlet wired to the GFCI protected terminal of a GFCI outlet, or be wired to a circuit breaker with GFCI protection built in, in the electrical panel.




  • As far as i know, a typical coop will require members to deposit “social stake” of an arbitrary amount of money (and it doesn’t have to be large, the stake for the cooperative “bank” i am a member of is 5$, for exemple). In a worker’s coop, I would expect new employee to have to buy their membership right away, or to have it deduced from their first (few) paychecks. In an employee’s coop, membership require being an employee; when someone leaves their employement, their stake is given back and their voting privilege rescinded.

    The key in all of that, is that the cost of membership isn’t tied to any sort “market valuation” for the cooperative, because the cooperative ownership isn’t part of any market.



  • Sounds neat. So long as that external thermometer is not too close to the cold air stream, its bound to give better readings than the built in one.

    What i’m looking to build is a system that integrates automatic temperature adjustements for winter time variable rates and presence detection. The horrible crap I have made with the basic yaml automation ignore each other, which lead to wrong behavior in some (common) situations. I could solve it with an extra state variable, but it would still be full of duplicate of hardcoded values in the two automations…

    I’m unsure how to organise my pyscript code to meet my goal in a clean and extensible way. I wish i could take a look at someone else’s work.
