Hey Fluxia, I was looking at the city grid and thinking about a modular wearable that tracks energy usage in real time—maybe we could map it to building performance and get a real‑time dashboard for maintenance crews.
Fluxia
Nice idea, but we need to check the power draw—if it’s always streaming, the battery will die fast. Also, sensor placement matters a lot for accurate energy data, so we should test a few layouts first. And the dashboard needs to be simple enough for maintenance crews who aren’t data‑savvy. Let’s sketch the specs and see how long a single charge lasts before we go deeper.

Sounds good. I’ll draft a spec sheet: 1‑minute update cycle, 50 mAh battery, estimated 8 hours per charge at peak load. For sensors, I’ll test three positions: inlet, outlet, and midpoint. I’ll keep the dashboard UI to a few gauges and a “low‑battery” alert, so the crew can act without digging into data. Once we have the prototype, we’ll run a 24‑hour test and tweak the update rate if the battery drains faster than expected.

That’s a solid starting point. Just double‑check that 1‑minute updates won’t push the battery under those 8‑hour figures—maybe log a few cycles first. The three sensor spots sound reasonable, but keep an eye on the inlet; its pressure changes could skew readings. Keep the UI minimal, but maybe add a quick‑action button for crews to toggle a deeper view if they need it. Good plan.
