Has anyone else been saving energy and money with smart thermostats this winter?

I connected my existing mysa thermostats and I’m surprised how quickly it’s adding up.

I’ve been wondering if it’s possible to get Hilo to turn smart switches off during peak demand events? I have a few panel heaters which I’d like to loop into the system. They’re already on smart switches but I’ve had no luck adding them.

It’s one of the most important documents in determining what the city will be like to live in, but I’ve found the coverage very superficial. Has anyone taken the time to read it?

New York was set to become the first city in North America to introduce congestion pricing. It’s something that makes a lot of sense in Montreal, not many cities on the continent are centred on an island. Less traffic, less potholes and use the money for more transit.

Living in Montreal I’ve gotten to the point where I only ride my own bike when I’m transporting paniers of stuff or doing an overnight trip. I installed a double kickstand on my old bike and its worked well until today when my old frame kicked the bucket. I realized that what I basically want is a slightly long tail cargo bike. A rack that’s big and built in, not electric, normal sized wheels and straight handlebars. The weird thing is, I can’t find this product. I’d assume it would be a popular choice for people touring with a lot of kit, but almost everything I’ve found seems to be for electric urban cruising with a couple of kids on the back. Has anyone else looked for this product and encountered a similar gap in the market?

The Yuba Mundo Lux is probably as close as I’ve seen, but has anyone done a few full days on it? It’s probably too much to spend if it can’t handle a few days on tour.

Edit: I’ve decided to dabble with a cheap second hand aluminum Kona Ute, because I live in a salted road winter an aluminum frame is good to have around. If I like it, I’ll probably invest in an electric option for the other 3 seasons.
