That’s great news. One of my fans came with a remote years ago. The remote uses this special little 12v battery that is both expensive and incredibly short lived.

That sounds like it might be better than what I was originally thinking.

Cool, I will check it out, thanks.

Hmmm yes… I know some of those words… Looks like I have a lot of web searches in my future.

Thanks, I’ll check it out.

You had me at dimmer switch automation blueprints. I’m not sure what that means but I feel like it’s going to be the reason I am up all night.

So far it is just basic wifi switches (tplink). I have been trying to figure out how I am going to handle these weird edge case switches situations before I get too deep and discover I went the wrong way. I gave a little bit more detail in an answer to another user.

I’ve been thinking about what to do for a master control station. I like the idea of a dedicated tablet mounted and powered right next to the master bedroom switches.

Just a basic wifi setup so far. I was thinking I would need to rewire the original switch to hardwired and skip the switch part. But, I really like your idea of a 3D printed cover, that way I can still kill the power if needed. And depending upon the control I end up going with I might even be able to integrate it into that cover… That’s awesome.
That switch you linked me to is pretty sweet also. Not only would it eliminate the need to change or charge batteries for remote type devices, but I also would not have to cut into the wall or do anything drastic to add switches to the current single gang switch.

The existing switches operator fans with a light. The fan may be on but the light off, so you currently have to cross the room to get to the pull switch to turn the light on. And in my bedroom, if my wife is asleep with the fan on, I would like to turn on a small lamp that won’t wake her up. It’s easy enough if I have my phone on me, but otherwise I’m trying to make it across the room without tripping on the dog.

Interesting, that sounds a lot like what I’m trying to do. I will look into that thanks.

I don’t know… I had thought they were specifically remotes for the Philips switches. But now I will take a better look, thanks.

Thanks. I had searched for something but I never thought to look for a “button”. It’s kind of obvious now that you’ve pointed it out.

Some psychopath that loves crosswords.

No, not metaphorically. What they are saying is that you have to get in there with knees and elbows when dealing with the lilliputians normal people. There are so many more of them than us they will overwhelm you if you don’t take them down hard and quick.

And that’s how we found Trump’s Lemmy account.

I’d say that I probably “work” more hours from home. At work if I get so tired I zone out and am fighting to stay conscious, that cycle of trying to stay awake, trying to focus, going for a walk, getting coffee, can all put a 2 or 3 hr whole in my day. At home, I will set a 15min timer on my phone and then go crash on the couch (just comfortable enough for a nap, but not for a long sleep). Even on rare days when I am really wrecked, after 45 min I am ready to focus and get back to work. Additionally, since I don’t have a deadline to beat traffic, and I take naps whenever I need, if I am focused and in the flow, I don’t just stop working at the end of the day. I ride that focus and flow to its natural fall off. Whereas if I am commuting, when my alarm goes off, I am done and out of the building like a god damn ninja.

Those school buses can generate a lot of g-forces when doing high speed cornering.

But most land owners already pay land taxes every year. And the amount of tax you pay depends upon the value of the land. 20 years ago I bought a little house way out in the fucking middle of nowhere, cuz that’s all I could afford. Now, the area around me has suddenly become a hotspot for development and I am paying 4x what I was originally paying.
The real problem, as others have stated, is the loopholes that give companies special rights and privileges.

Maybe it was just a personal observation… Like maybe a shower thought gone wild.

It’s a gross kind of weirdness is it? It’s like some kind of really sad masturbation ritual. Like they can’t get an erection unless they are angry enough and their little private fetishes just aren’t enough anymore, so they are trying to get people to argue just enough that they can finally whip one out.

I agree with your entire post, but especially the second paragraph.
Every time stupid shit like this begins to pop up more frequently, there’s something like an election or an Epstein ruling that is about to show up.
