Hi, I'm Martijn.
Product leader at HackerOne, and founder of IntervalCoach. Here I write about product, the web, and the home I keep automating with Home Assistant.

- Feeding solar data into a NIBE heat pump with Home Assistant (no EME 20 needed)
NIBE wants a €400 EME 20 module to read your solar inverter. I made Home Assistant pretend to be a SunSpec inverter instead, complete with grid meter and home battery.
- Teaching my Daikin ACs to cool the room, not the unit
Daikin units regulate on their own sensor near the ceiling, so rooms never quite reach the temperature you asked for. Home Assistant now steers the setpoint from a real room sensor, and since autumn it also picks heating, cooling or off per room.

- Monitoring imbalance prices with Home Assistant
With the rise of home batteries trading on the imbalance market and solar panel features like Zonneplan’s PowerPlay, there’s growing interest in understanding how imbalance prices fluctuate throughout the day.

Last year, HackerOne ran an experiment with a WordPress website. WordPress is a powerful platform with many options, including how you approach security.

- Nieuwe startup? Vind een ambassadeur!
Heb je een goed idee of ben je net begonnen met je startup? Misschien is het dan een tijd om een ambassadeur te gaan zoeken die jouw idee kan verkopen aan het publiek.
- You’re the product
Laatst kwam ik de volgende quote tegen op Twitter: If you’re not paying for the product then you are the product. Een product waar je zelf het product bent?

- The annotated web
Recently, MG Siegler of TechCrunch wrote about the 75-20-5 percentage rule: the observation that 75 percent of what you read in the tech press is somewhat accurate, 20 percent is complete bullshit, and 5 percent is actually true.
