    I love my “smart” thermostat. Being able to adjust the AC or heat a few degrees when I’m leaving work so my place is the perfect temp when I get home is awesome.

    I don’t understand why I would want any of my other appliances to be “smart.”

      We have old European radiators in this apartment. But you can attach these electric valves to it with radios. So now my home assistant can just turn the knobs when the thermometer notices it’s getting too cold or hot. Very old tech combined with smart home automation…

      I like that I can away from my oven while it’s preheating and it will notify me when the preheat is done and being able to turn it off remotely is also nice. I really appreciate my smart lights, if ni other feature than colour changing.
