    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...

    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...

    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...

    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!!!

    …and the increase in prices at that time could likely be to increased demand for everyone buying eggs for Easter…

    Get a dashcam. Period!

    I'm not sure how it works where you are, but in many states I've lived in, I paid "under- and un-insured driver coverage" that was designed to cover this exact case (or in the case that someone has the bare minimum coverage and doesn't cover all the damage), and it's not considered a chargeable...

    New vehicles are crap and private equity groups are the reason

    And let's not forget, VW was NOT the only one who was playing to the test (but the only one who got ass-raped in the headlines)... Pretty much every manufacturer was doing it.

    What is everyone's stance on RealID?

    It's certainly not a cash-grab, as it didn't cost me any more to get my license with the Real ID, but it is rather stupid that I already had to provide the same exact forms of ID in order to get my CDL, and then I had to do it again to get the star on my license. Government incompetence at its...

    Who here uses a Mac (all Apple devices in general), and why? Seriously...

    I use an iPhone and iPad. I trust Apple far more than those spying cocksuckers at G**gle.

    How many cameras do you have inside? Any? Am I going overboard?

    I have cameras covering every door in the house (which consists of two sliding doors, two sets of French doors, one garage door, and three regular doors), except for one, since it's in a guest bedroom area. Through judicious placement, that's four cameras. Each of these doors are also covered...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    It's as if the left doesn't understand the simple Econ 101 "supply and demand" curve. Prices will drop now that the Easturr Bunneh doesn't need the eggs.
