As the resident designer and founder of Voidbox Industries (or VDBX), Chloe Madison creates open source hardware tools for ESPHome / Home Assistant and beyond. Her latest device is the PwrTool 500: an upcoming 500-amp DC battery monitor and smart shunt for Home Assistant, based on the FLIP_C3, a high-voltage ESP32 dev board. Chloe develops and tests these devices (and more) aboard her converted "shorty" school bus, Gary Bussy. Tune in for a fascinating live session, and drop your questions in the chat!
