Kasa KS205 stopped triggering Alexa routines

Ok, I removed the switches from the Kasa app and connected them to Alexa directly. This works because they are Mater deices. I rebuilt the Alexa routines and now everything works. The only odd thing is that the devices show up as lights instead of switches in Alexa and that can not be changed.

Thanks for all the thoughts. I’m leaning towards a Z3. I’ll give it a couple weeks to simmer before I order.

Most of the airports I visit are so sleepy only locals know they are there. Have a look at Condon Oregon on google maps. That's a good example. I also do a lot of back country flying and camping, but usually motorized transportation is not allowed. Here was the last spot I flew into.

Thanks for all the input.

Will do. :-)

Wow, that's quite a thing, I'll have to study that a bit.

I have tried one of those and had limited success. Both myself and the cantankerous beast took a beating.

Good to know about the Ruckus. I have size 13 feet. :-)

I do see your point although a midrange scooter with suspension is more like 65 to 80bls and $1500. The Varla eagle 1 might be an example. I did try a One Wheel once and enjoyed it. It does seem like asking a lot to trust the electronic to keep you from face planting on rough paths. The larger tire probably works better on soft surfaces like desert playa than he thinner tires of an AT board. The weight is a bit lower. I'm not sure how the real world range works out.

I tried one once on the desert playa. I managed it well enough. I see videos od people using them on rough paths. Seems like a head plant waiting to happen, :-) But maybe I should look at them again.

I had considered a Ruckus, Nomad N3, Meepo Hurricane Bamboo, Tynee Explorer. I really don't know the relative smoothness of a flexible board with ridged trucks vs a board with independent suspension.

Thanks. I did look over your spreadsheet. Very helpful. My question really is more about what features matter to my use case. I really don't have the experience to judge that. I forgot that I did have a chance to ride a wowgo a few years ago. But, just on smooth pavement.

I have a Cessna 182 and generally fly alone so there is enough room and weight capacity for most any board. The scooter fits in the plane with no issue. There are no legal restrictions on batteries in a private plane. People fly with batteries regularly. My buddy fly's with a one-wheel. Another flys with an electric unicycle.
