About this listen
In today's episode Alex and AJ are discussing presence detection versus motion detection in their home automation setups.
Takeaways:- Importance of Clean Air: AJ and Alex emphasize the importance of clean air inside homes, especially during winter, when indoor air quality can deteriorate due to heating, cooking, and other activities.
- Methods for Clean Air:
- Air Monitoring: Using air monitors to keep track of CO2 levels and other pollutants like particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10).
- Air Filters: The benefits of using air filters, such as HEPA filters, to remove particulates and volatile gases from the air.
- 3D Printing Considerations: The importance of using filters and air extraction systems when 3D printing materials like ABS and PETG, which can release harmful fumes.
- Workshop Dust Control:
- Dust Extraction: Both emphasize the significance of having a dust extraction system in workshops to control wood dust and other particles.
- DIY Solutions: Descriptions of custom-built or modified systems such as dust cyclones and shop vacuums to manage dust effectively.
- Teleprompters: Using a teleprompter allows reading scripts while maintaining eye contact with the camera.
- Elgato Stream Deck Pedal: Using a foot pedal to control teleprompter scrolling, Zoom mute, and video controls enhances productivity. The pedal can start/stop scrolling of the teleprompter and can be configured for other uses like muting during Zoom calls.
