Home Assistant

Don't click if you don't have time to go down an awesome rabbit hole of home automation... Home Assistant. Doing cool things and saving myself time could be a full-time job.

Works with my Honeywell thermostats, Wemo lights and switches, and probably just about everything else via IFTTT.

Highlight, Export - Poor Man's CliffsNotes

I like this idea:

Highly efficient way to internalize a complex non-fiction book:

-Read on Kindle.
-Highlight heavily.
-Export highlights.
-Edit down to core insights.
-5-10 minutes of reading.
-Keep that in cloud.

Can pull this up on any device and quickly recall my core takeaways.

Puzzle

I'd post more, but I've been struggling to get my new furniture assembled. The instructions are a bit confusing.

Wyze Cam v2 - Update

A couple of updates on my Wyze Cam v2 order...

1. Wyze experienced a manufacturing problem and had to delay lots of shipments. They sent a very nice note with a lot of detail explaining the issue and the actions they were taking. They included a link to easily cancel your order if that's what you wanted to do. If you were willing to wait, they said they would include a 5 foot long USB extension cable. I thought it was a great job of recovering from a problem.

2. An anonymous commentor pointed out that the cameras are sending data to services besides AWS. I was planning on placing this in my garage pointing outside, so I'm not super concerned, but I will be curious to follow Wyze's response and actions to address the concerns.
