This Camera Is Incredible… But I Used It WRONG (Reolink OMVI 3i)
Unscripted Q&A covering real-world EV ownership and smart home tech. I talk about living with a Tesla Model 3 Long Range, MG4 lease plans, EV range and charging, and whether battery size or charging speed matters most. There’s also a deep dive into home energy—solar panels, battery storage, air source heat pumps, Octopus Energy, and what’s next after GivEnergy goes into administration. On the smart home side, I share thoughts on Home Assistant vs Home Assistant Green, Raspberry Pi setups, automation ideas, and the reality of running a connected home (including what my wife thinks is “stupid” tech). Plus plug-in solar in the UK, energy monitoring, and practical automation tips.
