Smartening up a Whole-Home Humidifier
TL;DR - Hacking an Aprilaire steam humidifier into doing time-of-use electricity pricing
TL;DR #2 - A smart thermostat is just a handful of relays, a sensor, and a radio chip.
Utah air is very dry, so we have an Aprilaire Model 800 steam humidifier paired with the Aprilaire Model 62 …

Emulating the Peloton (PeloMon, Part II)
TL;DR - How long it takes the Bike to respond to its head unit, building event-driven and hardware timing-accurate emulators of the Peloton Bike to assist in development, and a Peloton decoder library in C.
Third in a series. See the project GitHub, to be updated through the series.
How does the Peloton compute speed? (PeloMon, Part Ib)
TL;DR - Speed on the Peloton Bike is a pure function of power and can be accurately regressed with a two-piece polynomial fit. Code is available at the project GitHub repo.
