  • Catsrules@lemmy.mltoAsklemmy@lemmy.mlHome automation - why?

    It is fun to do.

    But for practical reasons the biggest thing for me has been easily connecting switches together.

    For example my kitchen has two big lights. Each light has its own switch but they put the switches in the opposite side of the room, so if you want both on you need to turn on one walk across the kitchen to turn on the other and do the same thing to turn them off.

    With automation/IOT I can now logically connect the switches together so turning on one switch will turn on the other.






  • Personally I am not really worried. Maybe I am in denial but I think a lot of the negative stuff is way over exposed with 24/7 news cycle and crazy social media.

    Bad news and anger drive engagement metrics the best so that is all you will hear about.

    So everything I hear I just automatically assume it is way over blown and I should lower the worry factor.

    If it is getting overwhelming I would recommend you unplug yourself for a little while and do something you enjoy.

    2023 has some amazing games come out maybe pick on of those up and give it a try?
