ReelBigLizard posted:How much did you spend in total to reinvent the light switch remote? That is a question without context. How much did I spend per dimmer switch? A lot more than the cheapest dumb dimmer that you can buy at Walmart, not that much more than we would have spent on one that didn't connect to our smart home system. How much did each touchscreen cost? More than a Walmart alarm clock, less than a Sonos system that we would otherwise have.

I have to, sadly agree with Three Olives. If you spend okay money you can get an ok system that makes your life easier and can save you some money. I can come home to a nice preheated apartment with the lights on & computer already on while having forgotten my keys, and one time I actually lost mine instead of paying 200€ for a locksmith I just got in via my phone.

No. You're doing it wrong. You have to choose an arbitrary cutoff date and then look down on all technology of convenience that was produced after that date. drat lazy millennials and their fandangled technology.

No, but it's something I usually do, so I have it booted and logged on already? It saves me time, ultimately. Why is this a bad thing?

how do you keep your color temperatures matched across all the light fixtures in your three-storey suburban mcmansion? Is it acceptable to have colder light temperatures in the garage? I find that cool white LEDs really make the cars look like they're in a dealer showroom.

steinrokkan posted:Lol coming home to the cold glow of the computer screen greeting you as soon as you step inside is supposed to be the enticing feature of the IoT bullshit? I come home using no keys, my car uses my phone as a key and automatically pre-cools/heats before I get in it based on work schedule. My front door has a fingerprint reader, the lights are already on, dimmed to my preferred brightness, house pre-heated/cooled to 70 at whatever time it needs to get there before I get home. Our fans/air purifiers have auto-circulated the air based on air quality, even if the HVAC is off. My computer is not in my living room, it's in office in the back of my house behind the den and bedroom, i.e. private spaces of my home where guests are unwelcome. Apparently your only vision of this you are capable of is that weird anime home control girlfriend in a studio apartment, which is frankly way more weird than not wanting to carry keys, come home to a comfortable house and play some relaxing music all of it without doing anything but walking in the door and saying "Hey Google, chill the house."

Fifteen of Many posted:My dad got a Tesla last month after getting addicted to various Tesla influencers on YouTube and I rode with him in it last week. Seems like an over-designed piece of poo poo to me? I love having to press two buttons and drag my finger up and down a touch screen to adjust the AC flow. I love pushing a button to make a handle pop out before I can open a door. Reminds me of doing a fresh install of Windows after upgrading my computer. You'd click 'yes' to turning on all the animations, all the bells and whistles. Then turn them all off two days later after you realise how annoying they were. Except, with Tesla, you can't. You're stuck with doing the extra steps, waiting that little longer, forever.

ben shapino posted:stop posting and go suck your boyfriend (husband???)'s dick He's asleep, he hasn't been feeling well so after dinner he went to lay in bed with one of the cats and his iPad until he feel asleep, woke up, asked our smart home by voice to set all the fans in the bedroom to high and turn off all the lights. We are both side and back sleepers, so when he will inevitably rolls from his back to his side and back, the bed will automatically adjust optimal firmness while recording his heart and breath rate. I am fully open to the evils of data collection, like, our bed is collecting our respiration and heart rate and uploading it to the cloud without medical privacy laws that would normally apply and that is kind of hosed up, but the first part is loving amazing and you are lying if you don't agree subject to the very reasonable concern about privacy.

Since we're still on this home automation horseshit: My apartment building forcibly installed "smart" locks a couple years ago. There are a bunch of idiots to defend them on our building bulletin boards but every single one of us hates memorizing and entering a numeric code that you must loudly enter on a touch screen and deal with bi-yearly maintenance visits (that they often fail to schedule in time) to change the batteries. It was once suggested that you keep a 9V battery handy in case it dies since you have to power it temporarily to enter your home. There's a special Sabbath mode too should there be any orthodox residents. No word on how they accommodate the blind. The kicker: it has a regular tumbler lock component, too, so there's no argument to be made about solving any tumbler lock problems. They're all managed by some lovely tech company with a bad reputation. We don't get to have a metal key for them, just the 9V battery they imply you should just carry around. To add to it, this year they decided to start charging $20/month for the privilege of having this inconvenient and less secure lock, and some water sensors that they've replaced twice due to recalls for false alarms due to humidity. Bringing it back around: all of the lock defenders drive Teslas, I'm sure there's a correlation here.

My car has Amazon Alexa built in like a lot of cars, Amazon has the Show 15, Home Hub, Regular Echos, Frame TVs are everywhere:    Honestly, it strikes me as kind of weird that SA hasn't embraced this kind of stuff, it's way, way, way past early adopter at this point. To pull this back into the lane a bit, Tesla sucks for reasons that aren't related to the advancement of general connected things, their Infotainment is devoid Carplay or Android Auto, they conform to any safety guards that any other automotive company does, their cars are't well made. Basically, just like home automation, you can buy stuff that is good and stuff that is trash, just like you can buy a good EV or a Tesla.

 I went all in on cheap Chinese smart lights/tap timer/other random poo poo in the same ecosystem and it's great. I briefly considered running it all on a seperate wifi network but am probably never going too because I'm lazy. I'm currently building a proper server, NAS and backup system and future proofing for a proper home automation system/security camera network. Till then, this is totally fine and functional.

I have never seen or heard him be able to respond to anything in real time where he has to actually talk without sounding like he was thrown down more stairs than he's admitted to. I don't know how anyone can hear him try to string together sentences and think "that's a guy I want to give money to".
