Is your ladyfriend seeing a doc about her leg? -- nm - budice Apr 20, 07:56 3
- She is anti-doc - Spawn Apr 20, 07:57 2
  - pull the husband card and make her go! -- nm - Epiphany Apr 20, 07:58
  - :( -- nm - budice Apr 20, 07:58
It's like my dream to replace all my locks with something automated, and be able to control all my lights with my phone. -- nm - mafic Apr 20, 07:46 13
- I have lights controlled by my phone (and alexa). it's pretty cool, actually. - amanda jones state university Apr 20, 07:50 10 1
  - I haven't yet decided that this is something I need. I even got a Logitech thing that works with Alexa for controlling AV equipment - oblique Apr 20, 08:04
  - THIS IS WHAT I NEED. - mafic Apr 20, 07:54 8
    - I use tp-link smart plugs in my place -- (link) - decline Apr 20, 07:57 7
      - I have zero plug-in lights. All switch only. Nurts. -- nm - mafic Apr 20, 08:03 4
        
        they've got you covered -- (link) - decline Apr 20, 08:04
        
        you can get those too -- (link) - oblique Apr 20, 08:04 2
        
        But... are they good? -- nm - mafic Apr 20, 08:05 1
        
        Dunno. See the link above. I imagine if those "smart plugs" work fine, the same brand smart switches would be cool -- nm - oblique Apr 20, 08:05
      - The security guys hate those. The "no hub" thing means hackable to them -- nm - oblique Apr 20, 07:58 1
        
        *shrug* someone would have to crack my firewall first so I'm not too worried about it -- nm - decline Apr 20, 08:00
- Did Mr Robot teach you nothing?! -- nm - Reagen Apr 20, 07:47 1
  - No, because Australia still has terrible television service. -- nm - mafic Apr 20, 07:49
what if you lose your phone ? -- nm - decline Apr 20, 07:46 10
- you have to blow the door off with C4 -- nm - groiny Apr 20, 07:49
- keypad on back. -- nm - amanda jones state university Apr 20, 07:46 8
  - then why not just use the keypad all the time? -- nm - decline Apr 20, 07:47 7
    - it's less cool? -- nm - amanda jones state university Apr 20, 07:52
    - because this is faster ? -- nm - Andie Apr 20, 07:50 5
      - Not just faster, instant. You walk up and pull. The first time, I did not believe it was actually locking so I turned off my bluetooth. -- nm - Spawn Apr 20, 07:52 2
        
        I'm all for new tech, but this seems as silly as an internet enabled toaster -- nm* - decline Apr 20, 07:54 1
        
        We wanted to be able to track if things go wrong again. - Spawn Apr 20, 07:58
      - because Spawn really needs that extra 5 seconds to toss his garbage -- nm - decline Apr 20, 07:52 1
        
        Plus, the other two offices tend to have a quick turn-over. This way we can easily revomve access from old users and give to new. -- nm - Spawn Apr 20, 08:02
what do you have it on ? (it;s cool) -- nm - Andie Apr 20, 07:44 4
- seriously. I just set a FW topic alert for it so I can buy for my garage. -- nm - amanda jones state university Apr 20, 07:46 2
  - it's a $90 padlock -- nm - decline Apr 20, 07:53 1
    - Got it for about half that on amazon a while back. Looks like they have a lot of options now. -- nm - Spawn Apr 20, 07:55
- Our trash dumpster here at work. We got tired of people dumping their trash so now only the three offices have access. -- nm - Spawn Apr 20, 07:45
