    Nest Thermostat with Home Assistant?

    Quoting myself... I must be getting old. But I digress. An update... Since I had nothing better to do this morning, I tried the instructions again, comparing those from Hubitat as well as Home Assistant. Went into the g*gle environment, wiped out all the old stuff I had, and started anew...

    Nest Thermostat with Home Assistant?

    My two cents... I run Hubitat as my "main" hub, but also have an AppleTV 4k that runs HomeKit, and I have picked up Home Assistant. I also have two Nest thermostats. I have tried and tried, following the "Nest for Dummies" tutorials, but I cannot get my thermostats to work reliably inside...

    Healthcare

    There is some reasoning to hospital billing. A lot of hospitals use these insane charges to write off "charity" to zero out their bottom lines. To go completely off-topic, Social Security is a Ponzi scheme that relies on an ever-increasing number of people paying in, and that's not happening...

    Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy

    He's a liberal, but a "classic" liberal. The "progressives" have co-opted the left wing and brought them so far to the left that they are positively ridiculous these days. Due to this shifting of the goalposts, he's actually closer to conservatives now than he is to the Democrat party. I LOL...

    Funny / Satire

    Ummm.... Seems that those prices are reversed. Sure, they went up a bit during the Easter time period due to demand, but they are a lot plentiful and much cheaper now than they were last year.

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    That's not 100% true. They have been seeking it for that long, and Israel has done their part to prevent it from happening, from infecting their computers with a virus, to blowing their facilities to hell. Of course, it didn't help that that idiot Obama decided that they needed to enrich...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    That's criminal. Illegals should NOT be counted towards representation.

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    "Normal" Americans are apparently idiots, then, and need to become more informed on world events. What if the US was surrounded by hostile countries whose naked ambition was to create a nuclear weapon and use it to wipe us off the face of the earth? Perspective is everything, and Israel should...

    Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy

    From what I've heard, none of these apple devices can be activated because they will be listed as "stolen".

    Would a Properly Wired House for Security Cameras Increase its Value?

    Looks like a few places sell it (not sure about the gel, though), but the cost is over $8/ft. Holy cripes!!!
