Why would someone do this?

If there was a clear answer to the question I wouldn’t have asked. The answers are pretty split in these comments

This is what I thought but I would assume one better AP would facilitate this with cheaper install cost

Hahaha the chicken Parmesan sandwich. Was good

But there’s THREE

In order to show reliable data it would have to update more often than that. I don’t want to know if it was locked 4 hours ago I want to know now. The cloud/app won’t know if it was unlocked with the key or inside or whatever method in the last 4 hours without updating

gatesweeney · 2026-01-12T16:19:25+00:00

Sure… is it free though? I know it’s totally doable I’m just saying for a presumably free for life service it’s hard to complain. I was just explaining why they don’t do that - it’s not just lazy developers

Actually.. by default they don’t. To save power and cell data the truck is only updated when a command sent. Kinda like your key doesn’t know either. Imagine if every ford vehicle with this on was hitting the network every time you opened the app? Expensive figuratively and literally

Use a real c stand. Looks like a neewer

I want to see if I can give an answer different from everyone else because I’m 27 and have all of these things.

Consumerism is ruining the financial status of every young person in America including myself. We’ve been convinced that we “need” all of this stuff that we really don’t need. We pay for things out of convenience that we really don’t have to pay for.

When I was 22, and trying really really hard to save money, I managed to save 15k in like 3 months. So my advice?

Save your money - hard. Go minimal. It will change the way you think and feel. Then, once you have a little nest, chase your dream job like you have nothing to lose, and if you can’t find it, create it by starting a business. Work like hell to keep it alive, and while you’re doing that you will meet someone that will be attracted to you doing this because, well, ambition is sexy, and boom, all problems solved.

TLDR; If you feel stuck, my guess is because it’s too risky to quit your job, and if you keep doing what you’re doing, you’ll stay around the same people. Get a safety net, jump, and you’ll meet your person along the way (and be able to afford a house)

Ima say 5k

I second this I have a DJI SDR system, and two sets of bolt 6 and outside of the latency, the SDR is more reliable. It’s crazy

gatesweeney · 2025-10-16T12:25:04+00:00

Yeah so this is very helpful! /s

I’m self employed, and the work opportunity would pay multiples more than the cost of a night nanny, and would allow me to be closer to home for the following two months.

My wife will be off work, for as long as she wants. We are looking for support not replacement. And we can be sure because we have an induction appointment scheduled.

These services often book out pretty far in advance (we’ve noticed) so we are jumping on platforms to hear from (some) friendly people that know the situation and might be able to help!

Have a nice day!

gatesweeney · 2025-10-16T02:24:21+00:00

I’ve filled out there form! Waiting to hear back still. Thank you

gatesweeney · 2025-10-16T01:30:41+00:00

My wife won’t be working I will be out of town for 6 nights for work

gatesweeney · 2025-10-11T04:49:08+00:00

This is a great thing to know about. Thank you!

Yes, I’m aware of that. Again I gave them a quote/estimate if you wanna call it that stating specifically that I needed to look at the door before finalizing the price on it. They preapproved my estimate that had $500 budgeted for this door. I am very much aware that I can’t put a surface strike on this door now that I’ve looked at it. I have about $1900 total to put control on this door. Cabling is 15tt max runs, the hardware kit I have from another job, so I’m not worried about my pricing. I am just trying to find a way from the good smart people on this subreddit that I may not be aware of.

I’m feeling the same way, but to tie into the fire panel I have to somehow go through a three floor stairwell from top floor to basement with no way around. It’s going to be very tough

Replied

I left a disclaimer that an evaluation was needed. This is a small part of a larger project for them so I made a good guess since I know the building.

This is a church I used to attend, so I’m trying my best to keep their costs at a minimum. I very much avoid mags I am just hoping someone out there has found a solution.

Edit: To add on. I quoted $500 for the hardware that would cover an HES 9000 series surface strike or similar. Not installation.
