no...just no! I refuse to succumb to the sad place I retreated to after the 2016 fail - that is not our future, that is not going to happen! I can not let myself imagine this future and you shouldn't either.

My wife likes AnyList so I use it too. If you're looking for privacy-focused group lists I would suggest Home Assistant to-do lists (assuming you're running Home Assistant already).

When I couldn't find anything that seemed to work for me I decided to go with a "hands-free" approach. My alarm will arm-home when everyone has been home for 15 minutes. It arms-away when everyone is gone. It disarms when someone gets home. If armed-home and an exterior door is opened with presence detected inside by that door it disarms. I haven't had a mis-fire since I started it.

lol - that won't work for me, I live in Texas and that means my light would always be deep, dark red. Cool concept though.

Yes, LEDs and water flow and voice control among other goodies.

I keep hearing ESPHome but it seems so bare metal - how do you make the little boards look like they belong? I really don't want to have to start 3d printing stuff to make enclosures.

 

I love playing with my HA and associated devices. I suspect that most of you reading this get a bit of a jolt every time you add and incorporate a new sensor, camera, integration and get to play with it.

I have all the door/window sensors and locks/covers, every angle of my exterior covered with cameras, alarm, network devices, appliances, sprinklers, household devices covered.

Any ideas for a new thing I can play with?

The dumb motherfucker who did this was just a homicidal twat. There was no "reason" or manifesto that was given, it was just some whack-job wanting to kill lotso-people.

Gun control is a joke in America...I'm sad about that.

I think, based on responses indicating AI influence, that this is a a worthwhile filter/exclude keyword. I have only encountered the word while viewing /all and it is normally in the /garterbelt forum. Perhaps there is a bot a play?

The DMN signed their own death warrant when they made obvious mistakes in their political endorsements in the previous presidential election cycle. They further obstructed their success with ridiculous subscription pricing changes making them inaccessible to most readers. The DMN is dead unless they clean house.

This is the most horrific thing I have seen in a long time and this the second time I have had to read about something like this. I work for a company that caused this to happen to another family in a different place using different fumigants but it brings me back to that time and I am weeping now.

I wept to my wife when I heard of my company's malfeasance in their failure to ensure that nobody was harmed in that other place. I have since witnessed a top to bottom realignment of priorities in my workplace to focus on safety...too little, too late - they did crime then that to meet profit margins and they still hold that most dear despite lip service to "safety first".

I'm so very sad that this happened again to another family and I hope that the perpetrators (most likely managers pushing production goals) pay a heavy price for their crime. (spoiler alert, at my company the bad guys were not properly punished and I am still salty about that).

The cheap-as-dirt meross does, it has an open/closed sensor.
