If you don't want anything smart related, I installed these for my dad. He put an extra fridge in his laundry room, but the only place that made sense covered up the regular light switch location. We installed this in the box and then mounted the other button on the other side of the door...

I should likely have bumped this project higher up the list, but I hadn't. A week and a half ago, while outside walking around the property, I forgot that the ground still wasn't filled in around my sidewalk and driveway and twisted my ankle badly enough it hurt the rest of the day. Thankfully...

Glad to hear business is flowing well. Ridiculous though about the permits.

The boat came out great. Glad you were able to get it finished in time to enjoy it for the 4th.

Really starting to feel this way about lots of cars. I want to drive a machine and not a computer.

Our group has grown to anywhere from 12-14 the last 3 years, and it is really hard to keep everyone together. Last time we broke it into two groups on the last day, and that is the plan from the get-go. All the same destinations for lunch and dinner but only trying to keep half the cars...

Appreciate the information. Yes, it uses ESPHome in HA. Basically, it is supposed to be a more polished Ratdgo32. That is good to hear. I will have to do some more digging around then. I only got them set up and working this weekend and then added basic controls to my door monitoring dashboard.

Fair :ROFLMAO:

Fixed MiniJar944: "Hold my apple juice"

Sunroof drains are a pain. In fact, you remind me that I keep putting off fixing the ones in the suburban. I think snow removal sounds like a great reason to buy a snowcat. Because why not :ROFLMAO: Definitely an interesting dilema though with no full time clearing need just yet. I do feel...

Those are some great ideas. I agree, I am not fond either of auto unlock and auto open on the garage door based on location/presense data. I used to have an away mode in SmartThings, but I didn't have a lot set up in it yet when I configured Home Assistant, so I didn't migrate those few...

Friday, I decided to finish up the trimming. I had 3 different bushes that were in bloom when I last trimmed, so I didn't trim those at the time. One of those was in the rear of the house and because of that I didn't even both to mulch that area when I did the rest of the property either. As...

That just sounds like a challenge now

I definitely wasn't sure on the pricing but that clears it up quickly. That would be way too much unless it was maybe a lifetime boat purchase.

That is a really cool sound trick. Unfortunately, no welder here just yet. Appreciate the idea though.
