htc was pretty fun but absolutely doomed in the black-featureless-rectangle era of phones. they didn't necessarily make anything very *good* before that etiher, but they did a lot of random stuff.

Olivil posted:what happened to HTC? seems like they were considered good as far as android go for a couple of years and then disappeared from the face of the earth they were Nokia'd: google bought out HTC's hardware division and they exclusively make pixel hardware now. what little manufacturing capacity the remainder of HTC has is now dedicated to sporadically releasing random metaverse/blockchain phones nobody cares about.

My house has two Nest thermostats, one for heating and one for cooling, and their learning poo poo absolutely does not work in that scenario. My heating thermostat keeps trying to reset my poo poo back to 50 F until I turn off learning because that's what it was set at all summer. Good poo poo Google

having two different thermostats instead of one thermostat controlling both systems sounds completely insane

Jabor posted:having two different thermostats instead of one thermostat controlling both systems sounds completely insane I've got a 1990s era radiant boiler on one thermostat and a 2021 or so forced air cooling system on the other. I'm assuming the installer didn't put them both on one thermostat for a reason. In either case, not being able to turn off learning during certain periods is dumb as poo poo.

the smart home was a "neat idea, if they can ever work the kinks out of it" thing in the 1970s (when you could buy x.10 devices at radio shack) fifty years (and, like, a trillion times more processing power thanks to moores law) it remains a "neat idea, if they can ever work the kinks out of it" thing

smart home would becool if it was like motion sensors and automatic doors instead we get monthly subscriptions and hubs to work with other hubs so we can turn on a light bulb from a phobe

Wild EEPROM posted:smart home would becool if it was like motion sensors and automatic doors well that's the problem with most people's home "automation" efforts. they don't actually automate anything. they just move switches to somewhere less convenient. takes a lot of time, effort, money and tweaking to actually automate something as simple as lighting. I had many motion and pir sensors and a nest of node-red flows just to handle lighting alone

my ecobee and hue stuff is cool and good sorry bout the rest of y’all. we definitely take advantage of automation for the hue stuff. plant shelf lights come on automatically in the morning with a gledopto controller, under cabinet lighting goes to super dim red at night to act as a nightlight, fish tank lights turn on and off automatically, and the bathroom has a motion sensor to turn the light in for you (which is set to super dim at night then back to more normal levels the rest of the day) it’s great and was very easy to set up with a couple schedules in the app

i use the ikea iot stuff, also for that one case: plant light timers. mechanical would do it too but there's some convenience of this synchronizing multiple outlets. i also have one lightbulb connected to it but i never wind up using it in any other way than with the lightswitch.

sometimes mechanical timers are audible still which is annoying (which is why i put the shed grow lights in a mechanical timer because i don’t have to hear it)shitface posted:that's absolutely better than "automation" that moves the switch to your phone. it's not better than actual properly implemented automation* i think mainly it's only a problem when the only control of any kind is a cell phone. for me all the lights save two are still off and onable by physical switches and of the two one still has a very stable zigbee switch i keep on the shelf anyway there’s actually lots of good stuff to use out there these days, imo mediaphage fucked around with this message at 14:03 on Oct 25, 2023 |

not enough tbh, lots of stuff is over complicated to get you to sign into an account for tracking/recurring revenue purposes. my ceiling fan has a really lovely remote but I can control it through Apple home via homebridge so you’d think I could just get a better wireless remote with two dimmers and interface it through HomeKit. but they just don’t exist unless you want something with a screen that can control everything in your house and costs $400
