@reckless @davezatz yeah i use the Meross one that doesn’t require Homebridge anymore. much happier than i was with the myQ plugin. Dave, the whole game of DIY smart home is retrofitting, stop kidding yourself. — PolitiTweet.org

@adammiarka @davezatz stops loading camera feeds all the time until you update the plugin. that’s how i know there’s a plugin update — my camera feeds stop loading. — PolitiTweet.org

@davezatz i think the ring plugin breaks/gets updated even more frequently than the myQ one. but i stopped using the myQ one — PolitiTweet.org

it’s not really a new day if you don’t have to update homebridge plugins to get them working again, is it — PolitiTweet.org

@loudmouthjulia use Safari and just go to the sheets/docs websites, don’t use the apps. the apps are terrible. — PolitiTweet.org

@MouaidNight they would have no problem selling tickets. lots of people want to experience a movie in a theater again or for the first time, even if it can be streamed at home. once theaters are safe again, of course. — PolitiTweet.org

if i were disney, i’d re-release the original star wars trilogy in theaters every year or every other year. — PolitiTweet.org

@nikouf no. Samsung said it would be shifting away from making smartthings hardware itself, but the platform isn’t going anywhere. other companies can/will/do make SmartThings compatible hardware. — PolitiTweet.org

@adammiarka I will remain very skeptical until it happens :) — PolitiTweet.org

@benlucier I’d be more inclined towards Hubitat, but my SmartThings instance has been working just fine for what I need and I don’t really want to rock the boat unnecessarily. I use SmartThings for my automations and HomeKit for user facing controls via voice or app. — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

@benlucier no, haven’t gone down the Home Assistant rabbit hole and kinda don’t want to. I know it’s very powerful, but I also know it’s not very user friendly :) — PolitiTweet.org

one useful thing I do with a SmartThings motion sensor, which has built in temp: - turn on the space heater in my office when motion is detected AND temp is below a certain threshold - turn off the space heater when motion is not detected for 5 minutes OR temp reaches threshold — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

temp sensors can be very useful for a bunch of automations provided the platform allows you the flexibility to use conditional rules and combine them with other sensors. HomeKit’s automations are too weak on their own, hence need for 3rd party apps. — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

i’m hesitant to get too excited about this for two reasons: - Amazon Echos have had temp sensors for quite a while, they have limited utility - It’s likely you’ll need a third party app to do anything interesting with this should Apple enable it because the Home app is so bad — PolitiTweet.org
