If you haven’t heard of Powerpal, it’s a little Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) device available in Australia that attaches to your residential electricity meter to collect and display realtime and historic energy usage data via a mobile app. This alone is pretty awesome, but if you’re in the state of Victoria, you can also get one for free under the Victorian Government Energy Upgrades scheme. … and if you claim yours via my referral link, I get $5: https://www.

The Camera I recently came across a really good deal on a WiFi Video Doorbell being cleared out by AusPost for AU$29 a pop (specifically, the Q-See QDB03-AU). The unit comes packaged with a pair of 18650 Lithium-ion batteries that are claimed to provide up to 6 months standby and has a list of features that include 2-way talk, PIR motion sensing and local SD card recording (card not included).
