Have you made the funding rounds? A Rust based system which runs on Sidewalk and manages power use in households seems really needed. A few years ago a product which more accurately manages dryer time (and therefore saves homeowners money and energy) was shut down to the general gnashing of teeth. TBH, I wanted to revive it myself almost immediately, but I don't have any bonafides and I had a ton of other things on my plate to try and fix.
As far as I know, it hasn't been revived yet. I'm sure that other use cases will appear. The energy one is foremost because we are facing a huge energy deficit over the next few years (5-10). Homeowners will have to start producing some, if not all, of their own power as private companies take over the grid. They are making deals already and getting sued for them. The estimates are that we need ~$2t to do upgrades;but I believe it is more like 2.5x times that and it doesn't seem to have trickled down yet.
Soon enough Amazon Power Systems, Meta Power and GPower will be controlling whether or not you can have ac during peak hours or if you can keep the lights on....and certain businesses will be prioritized over the masses for sure. If you are as well known for Rust as I suspect...you should have minimal problems raising a few million to take this on. Looking for a regular person job..is pointless at your stage in life because most places won't hire you. You are too well known and they would consider you vastly overqualified. So instead of heading downstream, head up.
Purdue has invented new charging cables which will speed up ev charging time, but I am curious as to whether or not the same tech will work over longer distances and could then be used for residential systems. If so, then a monitoring system which is more stable and accurate, while being easy to maintain sounds like a perfect fit.
Good Luck
