Some additions to my already very smart home

Is that the Eufy doorbell?

Wouldn't have been my choice of hub mind.

Be interesting to hear your thoughts on the lock.

I’ve been waiting for the Nest lock in the UK for about 2 years now and it doesn’t seem to be making its way over!

It's awesome, all installed and linked using the z-wave/ST hub etc..

Yeah sadly I had to use the ST hub due to the lack of compatible modules, worry not I have every other smart hub under the sun to keep it warm

ST links into alexa providing me all the functionality I require, so it's a necessary evil

And yep it's the Eufy, impressive bit of kit, I now have an echo show in every room, so the doorbell rings and I can see who it is, talk to them and let them in all without moving, epico

If you don't mind a bit of tinkering, you should have a look at Home Assistant (https://www.home-assistant.io/). It's basically an open source hub, and has compatibility with pretty much most smart home components. There's also a huge community of developers etc that are regularly adding support for different things, or making improvements.

The idea of HA is having one central hub that means you can do away with having multiple smart hubs just to link their respective components.

I'm taking a look right now, I must confess having 50 different hubs and apps is tiresome, albeit a first world problem

New smart trainer for the winter months

Few different size barrels to get correct fps I need.
The 6.5inch barrel was about the right fps.

How are you finding this after using it for a little while? Tempted to pick something up similar as i'm a little tired of the pod machines they tend to get mucky pretty fast and once you've cleaned them a few times they don't produce drinks the same ever again. (got through 2 of them now for this reason) And HOLE_Fluck just seen the price

This will be an investment then haha @Junglist

Turned 40 last year and finally decided to embrace old age by buying my first pair of slippers. Next up, a blanket for the cold nights.

Feet duvets.

I've had mine for 4 years now. It would be the first thing I grab if my house was on fire. I'd then maybe go back in for the wife and kid.

They're great machines aren't they. I've got the Sage Oracle non-touch, and i don't think i could've survived this far into WFH without it! SO much better than the delonghi bean-to-cup machine i had before it that cost the same amount.

Nice buds, but they sound a bit on the brighter side.

I hope you don't mind pretty poor bluetooth and having to pick them up off the floor every now and then

I love mine and keep them purely for the sound quality, but the connectivity can be terrible at times.

Oh thanks for that lol, i did have a bit of trouble fitting them just nice in my ears though lol.

I've got them to a decent fit now, I guess the bud might have moulded a little over time. To start I definitely needed a bud somewhere in-between medium and large, medium was a little loose but way more comfortable than the large. They don't fall out as much as they used to.

On a positive note the sound quality is incredible, the ANC is outstanding and the battery life is unbelievable. If you do have any connection issues, I've found unpairing from my phone and then adding them again helps quite a bit.

Out of interest what do you have them paired with? Mine get used between an iPhone, iMac, and MacBook and to be honest since one of the very early updates last year I've not noticed any connectivity issues.
