  • Not exactly what you asked for, but I went with Eufy with local storage. There is a home base so everything is stored here and not in the cloud. Costs a bit more but gives me peace of mind.

    Downside is that it won’t work if my internet or power is out, but that happens once a year, max.

    For door I’d go with Yale with the hub to lock and unlock remotely.
    Don’t know of a combined solution, sadly.





  • Hey man, I’m an Android dude for phones. Won’t even consider an iPhone as I dislike locked ecosystems for phones, but this is just not true.

    Apple supports their devices way longer than any of the major Android producers do. I can’t remember the last time my phone was supported more than 3-4 years, but my iPad was just rock solid and updated for 6 years. Replaced it because I wanted more RAM for scrolling endlessly on Reddit, but it was brilliant for everything else. My daughter still uses it with no issues today, two tears later.

    The missus’ Samsung tablet on the other hand…
    What a piece of crap, and it was top of the line just three years ago.










  • We literally bought a fridge three days ago and it drove me bloody mad.

    The numbers mean absolutely nothing!!!
    And why is the Siemens version cheaper than the Bosch version of the same fridge, and why aren’t they named something even remotely similar???
    Why is this identical fridge $400 more??? (Ended up contacting Bosch to figure it out. It was a damn soft close function. For $400…)

    Ended up going to the store and picking one based on physical testing because God forbid any retailer add anything more than a short text on each product.

    Hope this one lasts us 50 years so I never have to buy another fridge again!
