He’s the OG of the family, so I guess the question is more what hasn’t he done…
TechnologyBasically this, yes haha
Honestly, the first rebirth as a run-of-the-mill article aggregator was better. A lot of it I’d have already seen elsewhere, but occasionally it’d have something interesting that I missed.
Whatever they do, they’ll still be riding the name of a very dead horse.

Yes, with the caveat that you need to be 100% sure they are cut off from outside when you get the keys. Whatever device is handling your connection needs to have the features to be able to do that, but often ISP provided kit will not.
The most recommended way is to isolate them on their own VLAN. I have few enough not to bother, and just give them static DHCP reservations from a block of addresses that are disallowed outside access. This has worked fine for me for over a year.
If they get any opportunity to phone home though, the local key may change abruptly and you’ll have to go through the process again.
Flashing alternative firmware is always the best solution, but it’s the most technical and sometimes not possible without physically ruining the device. Or it just might not have a supported chip.
Local Tuya fills that gap nicely. Just need the keys. A dev account is free and renewable at no cost. You can also use older versions of the Tuya/Smartlife app that expose the info. Some have had success that way with an Android VM like Bluestacks.

I tend to avoid them but sometimes the price point is worth the extra trouble.
A Tuya dev account will allow for easily obtaining local keys, at which point they are cut off from the internet and given to Local Tuya for control.
Most recent successes are a pair of Calex mood lights from a local supermarket that were marked down enough to impulse buy.
I would not use the official integration for anything.
AskHow does it sense demand?
We have an older system here wired to an old thermostat that uses a bimetallic strip to click on/off.
Putting a shelly relay in parallel with it was trivial.
Love this part of my work. Benefits of small business that’s 90% B2B I suppose.
The phone tree is one level deep by design. You dial, listen to options and then pick one. There’s no bullshit ‘use the website’ or ‘have you considered our other shit?’ The hold music doesn’t suck and it’s only interrupted by an actual person that can help you.
No script when you are put through. Just me, the user, and whatever I can cobble together and cajole into a solution.
And there’s no fucking AI.

Lady on the left and the boys, yes

The things you find when you go looking...
So that’s why a 2 systems were getting crappy speeds. Yes, 2. It had been used only to split a single drop from another switch between two systems.
