Question about glass: anyone experience with vacuum glas? It's a thin glass (7mm) with similar insulation values as double glazing. Upside is that it's thin and light and you can use it in older window frames which previously had single glazing. In the Netherlands they use it in historic buildings with window frames build with putty. Haven't found suppliers in Italy yet... (it's not for the greenhouse, but for some old windows i'm restoring)

Let's talk about light. I'm looking for options to control the lights on the property remotely. So switches, dimmers, sensors, timers, what do you use? At the same time lights should just work with local switches as well, for when there are guests, or no internet connection. I know in todays world you easily get lost in apps, menus and touchscreens for the most simple tasks, so I'm looking for a system that is well thought through, compatible and future proof. Looking forward to hear your experiences with for example Phillips Hue, and other systems. (and yes, this photo is today. It's snowing again...)

I'm looking for a better hotspot device. I use cellular internet through a D-link hotspot device, but it's not reliable. The main challenge is transmitting a reliable wifi signal accros the property, to connect security cameras, and have wifi at both the tent area, battery box and the cabins. Satellite internet (like Starlink) is not necessary, cellular signal is pretty strong here (150mb/s download and 70mb/s upload). What do other homesteaders use?
