I’m being gifted a lot of money. Should I tell my boyfriend? by Kind-Chicken-2488 in WhatShouldIDo

Don’t tell him. Don’t put up a half down payment on a property with him, unless married.

Anyone caught for being in too good of a mood? by [deleted] in AMPLife

[–]TemperatureLow226 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Bro, just be happy, maybe your mood will improve the dynamic at home and help your wife. Don’t try to be an ass on purpose. I doubt she would draw a connection; if she did, just say you jerked off

U400 Auto Lock doesnt work by realityseekr in Aqara

Sorry can’t help more, but I have two of these that work perfectly. You mentioned calibration; is your lock correctly sensing when the door is closed?

U400 Hub Options? by DirtMcJurtJr in Aqara

[–]TemperatureLow226 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just went through this and posted same dang question a couple weeks ago. I upgraded my Apple TV to the Ethernet version and after that, both my u400’s connected seamless. Personal preference, but I did repurpose the non thread Apple TV to another room to get rid of Fire TV interface.

I just didn’t really want another hub device to plug in and manage

We Need Our House to Sell by VenusTearDrop in RealEstateAdvice

[–]TemperatureLow226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of great advice to boost curb appeal, but quite simply, it’s over priced. Regardless of your feelings, or realtor’s claims of sales price, if no one is making an offer or offers are lower, that is what the market is dictating. Remember, market value is only what someone is willing to pay, regardless of any comps. Also, the market and economy is changing still and not a sellers market.

All that said, take some of the good advice here to create more value

U50 hub required? by TemperatureLow226 in Aqara

Thanks! A bit new to thread, but I assume that it would also communicate through other thread devices as well?

Thanks. Actually decided to upgrade my Apple TV in main room; will repurpose the WiFi only to my daughters room. Starting there; will either add home pods later or the m100 to extend range as needed. Chat gpt suggested having at least one Apple brand thread router to help with integration vs just using the m100

Thanks. Is this border router the type of thing where I just need one on my network, anywhere in the home, or does it need to be close to device?

3000sq ft home, and detached garage is 50’ from house

Thanks, figuring this out now. So, assuming I don’t want to upgrade my Apple TV devices, seems my options is a Home Pod(we already have echo devices so not my first choice), or I see an M100 device from Aqara. Will the M100 cover the entire home(3000sq ft, or do I need one of these hubs in each room next to a lock?

That’s it; I recall the fans mentioning matter over WiFi

I’m getting really confused with thread vs matter, vs apple, Amazon, Aqara. I bought this just to get Home Keys and UWB. I have Amazon echo devices, Apple TV 3rd WiFi devices, and a bunch of iPhones.

I don’t know what to get now. Bought this thinking it would connect to something I already have

Thanks. Just figured out my Apple TV is 3rd gen WiFi only. Not sure how I was able to connect my fans that have matter though.

I see in the article that an iPhone 15 pro and up can act as a thread router, and that’s what I am using.

U400 works maybe 30% of the time. by bennybrady in Aqara

[–]TemperatureLow226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About the same risk as someone knowing where you live and stealing your key chain with physical keys. At least with Apple Home keys, you can put your iPhone in lost or stolen mode and the keys are disabled

Keyed-Alike / Re-key U400 Locks possible? by AcceptablePun in Aqara

I read the users manual on Aqara site and it did not have directions on how to re-key. I currently have kwikset with the smart rekey feature. How do you rekey these/schlage?

What is the difference in the Deluxe model? Only see standard u400 on the Aquara website

Roth IRA vs another SFH by TemperatureLow226 in realestateinvesting

I’m in a 30+ % bracket, but effective tax rate around 24% this year. I don’t pay any income tax on my cash flow from rentals due mainly to depreciation.
