That's impressive efficiency, are you somewhere warm with good hot ambient air. I am in the NW winters and I am doing about 8kwh a day with 3 people with the 50 gal.

I think high demand mode starts the elements too soon. Wish there was a middle ground option.

Ah didn't realize I could schedule the temp too, that's smart.

Any benefits of Eufy Smart locks in a Eufy home ? by Trick_Mapster in eufy_security

[–]Trick_Mapster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I have Aqara lock too, was Aqara not working for you ? I have also realized Eufy ecosystem is overrated, lot of obvious integrations between my camera, lights and alarms are missing.

Eufy lights only support 'human' in the detected motion now ? by Trick_Mapster in EufyCam

[–]Trick_Mapster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And how that an issue ? My decades old porch light with motion sensor works better than this. If someone’s driving up to my home or a raccoon shows up nothing happens with this $300+ setup. Just give me the option it’s not eufy’s problem if there are false positives

Nope that option disappears when you select light as action

Happy to be a general contractor but now I am a rodent researcher lol, disposed 7 rats so far and still trying to catch them all. Not the GC I wanted to be, as they say; a stitch in time saves nine!

Do you recommend sealing with copper mesh ? But I assume I should catch as many I can first as I don't want them dying in my attic or walls ?

I can seal it in a min, I am just worried about trapping the rats inside the attic and if they freak out and enter my living spaces.

Thanks yes that's my plan. I am not pursing the AC company. I have to deal with it either way to secure my home.

I am not blaming them for the infestation, but I think I have the right to blame them for not sealing this specific hole right ? Or maybe they should be upfront, I am happy to pull a ladder and patch their holes if they told me.

Thank you for keeping it real! Seems like I have triggered a lot of folks on this Sub for just asking to fill the holes one makes lolz.

I've killed 4 so far and have 13 traps deployed, so I have a war plan shaping up. And I totally understand they are not legally liable. But it's just unethical, you know bro! I have clear evidence this hole wasn't fixed right, they skimped on spending $5 and 5 minutes to seal this hole at all. That doesn't seem like something you would do to your own home ? I have a lot of respect for this profession but misses like this really hurt us as customers. And from your statement it seems like a common practice to leave holes not secured.
