…I just put a Zigbee contact sensor on my mailbox lid and called it a day…

I have a similar thing, it just sends me a notification to my phone on Tuesday night and it won’t let me clear it unless I mark the trash as taken out

I just moved into a house with my friend and he gave me full reign to smart home the house. Every light has an Innr Zigbee bulb, which are great for having colors during parties and color temperature throughout the day (Adaptive Lighting in HACS), as well as motion controls in the hallway (which has a broken 2 way switch) and kitchen. The front porch light turns on when I come home if I’m on foot, and the back porch light comes on if I’m driving. The lights in the living room turn down if something’s playing and it pauses if I leave the room. We’ve got an old android tablet I stole from the trash on the kitchen wall for a shopping list as well as an overview of the house. They washer and dryer have vibration sensors so we get an alert on our Google homes when our load is finished (we’re both forgetful as fuck). I had an extra contact sensor left over from the doors that I put on the mailbox, so we get a nice AOL “you’ve got mail” when the mailman comes.

Frankly I don’t know how I survived without automation. I forget things so much less now.

Avoid Sengled. I switched to Innr Zigbee bulbs for repeater functionality & they’re better than the Sengleds in every way (except price, like $25/bulb but it’s worth it)

Not the original question, but if you have just a normal “Nest Thermostat” (Not learning or E) it has matter support and you can add it over matter without paying $5

Does a repository with only a README and license really count as a “new framework”

In America I just use my buddy Carl. He’s also my doctor.

What’s really funny is how trivial FRP is to bypass on Android, whereas a stolen iPhone would be useless other than for parts, and even then they’re all serialized anyway

Literally took picture of my cat seconds ago before reading this post at 10x because I didn’t want to stand up

Tbh I get the 2.0 on the normal iPhone. They’re using last gen chip (a16) which doesn’t have the 3.0 controller on board. New gen chip has it (a17) and will likely be present on the base model next year.

I hope that charging for basic stuff never comes. I doubt it since like the first thing MSFT did after buying it was to make some pro stuff free (like private repos)
