  • Lowering power consumption of my Matter Dual Temp Sensor custom board

    I recently had an opportunity to solder up some of my custom PCBs. It wasn’t a roaring success as I made a bit of a boo-boo with the LDO. Regardless, I managed to flash some code onto my board and got it all running! Aside from the need to fix… Read ⇢

  • Flashing my code onto the nRF54L15 on my custom PCB

    Not deterred by the huge flaw in my custom PCB, I continued trying to evaluate my board. I connected it to my J-Link programmer, just like I did with the DevKit boards. Due to my dodgy PCB, I couldn’t use the J-Link’s 5V supply directly. Instead, I passed it through… Read ⇢

  • Got my LDO the wrong way around!

    Disaster! I finally got around to putting some components on the latest version of my Dual Temperature PCB. Unfortunately, I found a huge mistake! The Module I started assembling the board with the MinewSemi nRF54L15 module. I made a better first pass with this than I did with the DevKit.… Read ⇢

  • Adding Power Forecasts to my Matter Heat Pump

    In this post, I created a basic Heat Pump implementation using Matter-JS. Building on this, I wanted to add support for power forecasting and schedules. This would then allow me to show how energy management might work for heat pumps. This would be similar to what I did for my… Read ⇢

  • Mass Flow Rate, not Room Temp – tweaking my Heat Pump Maching Learning Model

    Almost two months ago, I wrote a blog post outlining how I built a Machine Learning model for ASHPs. Powered by the data from OpenEnergyMonitor, it was quite basic. It used the Target Temperature and the Outdoor temperature to predicate energy consumption. It was my first go at Machine Learning… Read ⇢

  • Getting Free Electricity Session Data from the Octopus Energy API

    In this post, I explore the Octopus Energy API so I can get data about their Free Energy Sessions. Read ⇢

  • Running my Matter Dual Temp Sensor on a MinewSemi ME54BS01

    With my initial PCB designed and my code working on the Nordic DevKit, I turned attention to my ME54BE01 devkit. This board comes from MinewSemi and is designed to support their nRF54L15 modules. Yes, I should have gotten my code working before getting PCBs made, but I figured it should… Read ⇢

  • Testing my MinewSemi ME54BS01 and ME54BE01 DK

    As part of my efforts to build a Matter powered dual temperature sensor, I was hunting for a Nordic nRF54L15 Module to use on my PCB. I had already looked at the HolyIoT board with some success. Next on my list was the MinewSemi ME54BS01 module and dev kit. This… Read ⇢
