It's even easier these days. You just need an app and a mate with a tablet to wave near your front door until it finds your key inside the house. 15 seconds and they're off.
Only if the car has comfort access. It’s a bit trickier without and if the car is locked.
Faraday boxes are a great tool.
Indeed. My keys are in a Faraday box at home and pouch when I'm away.
I've a Snap On top box and chest in the garden shed and the same (but) Mac Tools in the garage, but couldn't resist this massive top box for £200 from my old ramp buddy at Toyota.
He's retired today and offered me some great deals on some of his old gear, and it seemed rude not to..

Not really sure what I'm going to fill it with as I'm full time MOT tester, but hey, a good deal is a good deal![]()
It has been perfect, a big upgrade from my previous 218j. Plex is snappy and no issues to date. Migration was a little tricky as originally I couldn't log in using my credentials, but a reinstall of DSM sorted that, and is fortunately on a separate partition so no data losses.
Transferred my config over from the old NAS no issues and has been working perfectly.
I have also been using Home Assistant in a Docker, but still figuring out what I want to do with that.
I have 2 8tb Segate ironwolf drives, each with 26,600 hours of use on transfer, but again no issues at all.

Indeed a nice well fitting box will raise the spirits any day.Whilst not being particularly mechanically minded I can appreciate the delights of having access to a nice box![]()
For years I've struggled to get a decent nights sleep due to my former job having oddball hours, so 4-5hrs has been the norm for over a decade. Since I threw this in the bedroom I've overslept for days.
That's interesting. It's not something I would have linked to sleep quality? What makes the difference do you think?
I’m not sure really, at first I thought it was just me being tired but 4 days in a row now I’ve slept very well.
It is a tubby fella. Stands a little over 30cm high best guess (on the way to work atm so can’t measure).I'm rather up for trying it. I'm actually just not sure where I could put it in my room... it looks like a pretty huge item. I'm guessing the suggestion of 15" of space all around is a little over the top? If anything, there is one corner of the room I could stick it in...
My 215j is abysmal at accessing away from home, this could be a nice upgrade? I have 2 WD Red 4TB in raid 1 would it be straight forward to swap?
I am very jealous! Looks like it could do with some castors on it.
I am not sure, you will need to check specific compatibility for migration between the 215j and the 220+.
I just took the drives out of one, booted them in the other and was given the migrate option, so that was easy, but after migration I couldn't access using my credentials, so I did a reset mode 2 - press the reset button for 4 seconds until it beeped, then a further 10 seconds until it beeps again. This wiped DSM and when I booted it again I was prompted to reinstall DSM, which went fine, and all my data was still there.
After this I had backed up my configuration previously to my PC, so I reinstalled that and all was fine.
It will certainly be a huge upgrade. I was 200 miles away yesterday and PLEX worked remotely no issues - obviously depends on your internet connection to though!
I knocked up a bench for it to sit on..

Bought one of these air purifier bois and now want another one for the bedroom! For years I've struggled to get a decent nights sleep due to my former job having oddball hours, so 4-5hrs has been the norm for over a decade. Since I threw this in the bedroom I've overslept for days. Annoyingly it was £144 from the forest, it is on sale now for £127.

It’s emptyClean air filter and a reed scent diffuser right next to it? So the filter is removing the scent from the air and using up the lifespan of the filter? A waste of money on both counts.
