This was a fun day in the Abitare Workshop, testing out the seating height and depth for the seating in the lounge/cinema area, kitchen and balcony. Excited to see how they come out!

Should anyone ask, monitoring energy usage around the apartment.

(10s refresh rate)I run a Prometheus server with a retention time of 2.5 years (would be nice to compare yearly data + some …
