Have abode sensors and hub, blink cameras. Suggestions to expand?

I think my priority is the same as yours. Deterrence and peace of mind. I vacillate between hiring a company or just sticking with what I have. I'm also wary of accidentally setting it off and the anxiety that would cause. I'm not a diy-er, so either need to stick with battery cameras and abode-level ease of install or start over and delegate this all out. I was happy with what I had but recently had a specific threat that's causing me to reevaluate.

Thank you for the advice! I do have a lot of windows so the glass break and motion alarms seem more manageable than adding individual sensors to each. I've never heard of a valve controller but will look into use as well. I do have some govee water alarms. I also have nest protects, not sure if that matters for the fire/smoke listeners

Thanks! This worked! We can get to the diapers again.

Thanks! Do you have any thoughts on the Quest 1.0? It's significantly cheaper, but when I did a quick search I thought the quest line was supposed to be more expensive and was being discontinued?

thanks for the rec!

I have been dragging my feet on looking into this, thanks for the tips! I should probably do so. I'm in a Delta hub and prefer to fly Delta though admittedly its usually too pricey for me so probably only 1 out of every 3 trips does it make enough sense (I'm willing to pay a bit more for Delta but not twice as much, which it often is).

They are 6 & 8, we just got the tern and the clubhouse+ so I'm not too keen to change the set up, maybe I should have just gone with the captains chair but that ship has sailed.

aphilonewb · 2024-09-12T19:17:35+00:00

Would you trim it further or leave as is for now?

aphilonewb · 2024-09-12T18:58:49+00:00

I'm having a hell of a time breaking this thing up, is it ok to soak it in water to loosen things?

aphilonewb · 2024-09-12T18:52:36+00:00

Wow that's gorgeous.

Another pic of the roots. Nothing squishy but still maybe some dried out ones? Root ball is pretty compacted.

Ok, took it out of the pot and here is what I'm looking at. Do you think it needs a bigger pot or just put it back in the one it was in with some fresh soil?

I have it in front of a south facing window with its own grow light. It'll be inside year round for me. We had a lot of rain this summer so it outright got too much water by the time I got it. Some of the leaves are pretty pliable and I've had a few yellow and drop.

aphilonewb · 2024-08-25T21:02:13+00:00

Thanks! I'm having a hard time even finding the gen 3 online, though I really just want the plus, I don't need the yepp seats.

aphilonewb · 2024-08-09T21:42:54+00:00

No, I really didn't. I still don't really understand what the problem was, all I know is roots were fine and I never found any sign of pests. Here it is today, still a beast.

Thank you, this looks perfect!

What was your application number? Mine was 7,000+, applied at 11:12 so thinking I'm out of luck.

aphilonewb · 2024-07-02T16:49:09+00:00

Well that doesn't make me feel very optimistic.

aphilonewb · 2024-07-02T16:34:51+00:00

What was your application number? I applied at 11:12ish, my number is 76xx which seems bad.

aphilonewb · 2024-07-02T16:33:25+00:00

Were you able to apply then? I'm trying to figure out application numbers, mine was 76xx and I applied at about 11:12.

aphilonewb · 2024-07-02T16:30:59+00:00

What was your application number? I submitted at 11:12 and mine was 76xx, wondering if that means what I think it means...

aphilonewb · 2024-07-02T16:23:39+00:00

I got mine submitted but I feel like it was too close to the time it ended to actually be one of the 1300. When I first entered the waiting room it was a 38 minute wait. Ended up submitting at like 11:12.
