1400sqf = 130m2

Typically in Australia we’d size for 180W/m2 which in a domestic setting gives plenty of heads room.

130x180 = 23.4kW unit. This size it would be a ducted unit to ensure proper distribution of cooling throughout.

2.5tonne equates to approximately 8.8kW which only gives you 68W/m2 which as an ex mechanical engineer is completely undersized at least for Australian summer.

Without knowing more the only suggestion I would give is set the target temperature a bit higher. This increases the units efficiency and should help it get to temperature quicker.

If you’re uncomfortable try running an additional fan. The movement of the air will make you feel cooler even if the air temperature is the same.

I have been using it on TestFlight for a while now and think it’s great. As OP says, not Apollo, not should it try try be but it definitely cones really close to having the same experience!

How do you know they’re not considering it at all?

Reddit just pulled the rug out from under them, give them some time at least to come to terms with that and decide what’s best for them. They certainly weren’t hobbies, look at Christian’s (Apollo) posts on the debacle and you get a sense of the scale of what he built.

I’m hoping Christian makes a Lemmy compatible app (I’d subscribe in an instance like I have been for Apollo) like the developers of Tweetbot did for Mastodon but they have to do what is right for them in the first instance!
