Information Project to save more power in Bitlair
Status Alpha


Idears

  • Make all the tl lamps switchable per tl light (12 times)
    • Use Kaku per lamp 11 to 13 euro ex shipping
  • Replace the lock in the benches with a button, this way the sockets can be turned off by pushing the emergency buttons. This will save about 15 watts of constant power usage.
  • New server that doesn't use shitloads of power.
  • Partially power the new server from the solar panels (complicated and costs a bit of money).
  • Replace the routerboard with a router that has an internal switch, and turn off the two main switches when bitlair is closed, this will save about 90 watts of constant power usage.
  • Run the weatherstation on the server instead of on a separate machine, this will save about 15 watts of idle power usage.
