Sounds convenient.

I’m sure they have an app to help you understand.

Who doesn’t like hand feeding the fish? Why even have them?

Imagine… setting it while at home.

That’s true. It doesn’t.

I like the idea that some folks have entirely private systems run by raspberry-pi. That sounds fun.

But what can it do more easily than an mid 20th century home can do?

Okay — can anyone — and I mean anyone, please explain to me that allure of the so called home assistant. Our home was built in 1965. Its housed many families very comfortably. It houses our family very comfortably. Our kids are heading off to college. Tra la la. We have holidays, happiness, and we contribute to the community at a variety of events. We sleep well. Eat well. We host parties of up to fifty people sometimes… we have a yard.We have a dog, two cats, fish etc. All the things that happen in a home.

We are happy.

We have no so called smart products. We use a terrestrial radio in the kitchen on the daily. We stream from the rip-off services when we desire. We are up on the shows etc. So we have internet — each of us has a phone and a device for working. I just don’t get it.
