I hope you went investigating and found a good discount on a smart thermostat for yourself as well.

Beeping and flashing is actually a UL safety requirement.

Ecobee has been absolutely amazing for me. I’ve used both the cloud API and and homekit integration with home assistant flawlessly. Note: homekit was a bit annoying to first set up, especially without an iPhone. As a bonus, I see my power company offering discounts and rebates on them all the time.

Sounds like working at a small company isn’t for you. We have dedicated tech support and a team that works with them for this kind of stuff. Abuse of our APIs does happen, but it’s usually automatically blocked or causes enough traffic to trigger our alerts and gets manually blocked.

I’m sure Apple will release a statement any day now how they’re just holding it wrong.

Oh wow, you’re a web developer, must mean you’re an expert on computers! I bet you can even improve the Linux kernel with that knowledge. /s

Yeah, no I’m not babysitting my devices. If my wireless mouse needs charging, it will alert me and I’ll plug it in for a day while using it.

Stockholm syndrome is real, especially since you seem to refuse to use anything else.

Yes, very much so. It’s a critical feature for a mouse. The fact that you’re choosing this hill tells me that you care more about a fruit logo than actual usability.

At least I can use my mouse while it’s charging. Can you do that with yours?

Maybe the next mouse’s usb port will just be placed on the left mouse button.

That’s because it became such a meme that youtubers started distancing themselves from it.
