John Arnold<p>_The Evening Post_, 1 April 1925:<br> A DANGEROUS BUSINESS<br> That good housekeeping rule as to a place for everything and everything in its place is particularly applicable to the ancient art and sport of kite flying, and in general it may be said that the place for kite flying—at the present time in tremendous vogue—is out of town, and especially well away from overhead electric power cables. This, mere annoyance to linesmen who are called upon to waste time, and energy in clearing lines is one sufficient reason for the unpopularity of the sport, but parents should remember, if youngsters will not, that kite flying near cables carrying 3000 to 11,000 volts may be extremely dangerous; under certain conditions the child might receive a very severe shock.<br> A definite warning as to the danger which follows interference with power lines is given by notices placed on the Hutt River pipe bridge, but there the warning is given to fishers, who may, so run the notices, receive a fatal shock should a wet line be thrown across the high[?] power lines across the river.<br><a href="https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19250401.2.99" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/news</span><span class="invisible">papers/EP19250401.2.99</span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OnThisDay</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OTD</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PapersPast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PapersPast</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Kites" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kites</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Angling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Angling</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PowerLines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PowerLines</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Electricity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Electricity</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Safety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Safety</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NewZealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NewZealand</span></a></p>

Terence Eden’s Blog<p><strong>Gadget Review: Windfall Energy Saving Plug (Beta)</strong></p><p><a href="https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2025/03/gadget-review-windfall-energy-saving-plug-beta/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">shkspr.mobi/blog/2025/03/gadge</span><span class="invisible">t-review-windfall-energy-saving-plug-beta/</span></a></p><p>The good folks at <a href="https://www.windfallenergy.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Windfall Energy</a> have sent me one of their interesting new plugs to beta test.</p><p></p><p>OK, an Internet connected smart plug. What's so interesting about that?</p><blockquote><p>Our Windfall Plug turns on at the optimal times in the middle of the night to charge and power your devices with green energy.</p></blockquote><p>Ah! Now that <em>is</em> interesting.</p><p>The proposition is brilliantly simple:</p><ol><li>Connect the smart-plug to your WiFi.</li><li>Plug your bike / laptop / space heater into the smart-plug.</li><li>When electricity is cleanest, the smart-plug automatically switches on.</li></ol><p>The first thing to get out of the way is, yes, you could build this yourself. If you're happy re-flashing firmware, mucking about with NodeRED, and integrating carbon intensity APIs with your HomeAssistant running on a Rasbperry Pi - then this <em>isn't</em> for you.</p><p>This is a plug-n-play(!) solution for people who don't want to have to manually update their software because of a DST change.</p><p><strong>Beta</strong></p><p>This is a beta product. It isn't yet available. Some of the things I'm reviewing will change. You can <a href="https://www.windfallenergy.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">join the waitlist for more information</a>.</p><p><strong>Connecting</strong></p><p>The same as every other IoT device. Connect to its local WiFi network from your phone. Tell it which network to connect to and a password. Done.</p><p>If you run into trouble, <a href="https://www.windfallenergy.com/plug-setup" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">there's a handy help page</a>.</p><p><strong>Website</strong></p><p>Not much too it at the moment - because it is in beta - but it lets you name the plug and control it.</p><p></p><p>Turning the plug on and off is a single click. Setting it to "Windfall Mode" turns on the magic. You can also fiddle about with a few settings.</p><p></p><p>The names and icons would be useful if you had a dozen of these. I like the fact that you can change how long the charging cycle is. 30 minutes might be enough for something low power, but something bigger may need longer.</p><p>One thing to note, you can control it by pressing a button on the unit or you can toggle its power from the website. If you manually turn it on or off you will need to manually toggle it back to Windfall mode using the website.</p><p>There's also a handy - if slightly busy - graph which shows you the upcoming carbon intensity of the UK grid.</p><p></p><p>You can also monitor the energy draw of devices connected to it. Handy to see just how much electricity and CO2 emissions a device is burning through.</p><p></p><p>That's it. For a beta product, there's a decent amount of functionality. There's nothing extraneous like Alexa integration. Ideally this is the sort of thing you configure once, and then leave behind a cupboard for years.</p><p><strong>Is it worth it?</strong></p><p>I think this is an extremely useful device with a few caveats.</p><p>Firstly, how much green energy are you going to use? Modern phones have pretty small batteries. Using this to charge your phone overnight is a false economy. Charging an eBike or similar is probably worthwhile. Anything with a decent-sized battery is a good candidate.</p><p>Secondly, will your devices work with it? Most things like air-conditioners or kettles don't turn on from the plug alone. Something like a space-heater is perfect for this sort of use - as soon as the switch is flicked, they start working.</p><p>Thirdly, what's the risk of only supplying power for a few hours overnight? I wouldn't recommend putting a chest-freezer on this (unless you like melted and then refrozen ice-cream). But for a device with a battery, it is probably fine.</p><p>Fourthly, it needs a stable WiFi connection. If its connection to the mothership stops, it loses Windfall mode. It can still be manually controlled - but it will need adequate signal on a reliable connection to be useful.</p><p>Finally, as with any Internet connected device, you introduce a small security risk. This doesn't need local network access, so it can sit quite happily on a guest network without spying on your other devices. But you do give up control to a 3rd party. If they got hacked, someone could turn off your plugs or rapidly power-cycle them. That may not be a significant issue, but one to bear in mind.</p><p>If you're happy with that (and I am) then I think this is simple way to take advantage of cheaper, greener electricity overnight. Devices like these <a href="https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2021/10/no-you-cant-save-30-per-year-by-switching-off-your-standby-devices/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">use barely any electricity while in standby</a> - so if you're on a dynamic pricing tariff, it won't cost you much to run.</p><p><strong>Interested?</strong></p><p>You can <a href="https://www.windfallenergy.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">join the waitlist for more information</a>.</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://shkspr.mobi/blog/tag/electricity/" target="_blank">#electricity</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://shkspr.mobi/blog/tag/gadget/" target="_blank">#gadget</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://shkspr.mobi/blog/tag/internet-of-things/" target="_blank">#internetOfThings</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://shkspr.mobi/blog/tag/review/" target="_blank">#review</a></p>
