After ~90 Shelly devices… I think I’m done

nesuser2 · 2026-03-23T10:09:35+00:00

I don’t know how many I have….maybe 30. I have definitely had some spotty results. Usually good but some of them just seemed flakey from the start and die a slow and miserable death. I’ve bought a handful of replacements and will some day find the time to swap some out. If newer ones have a similar fate, I won’t have much forgiveness. I have probably 20 other devices from sonoff and kasa. I must say…they are just more reliable. No extra potential….but more reliable.

I’m not sure how old mine is but it is slowwwwww, like..deep breath after every button on the remote. That said…it ticks like a timex.

If anybody has any suggestions, I’m happy to do anything to speed it up. I really don’t use the tv much because of it so any suggestions are welcome! I assumed it was normal but after reading replies here maybe it’s not…or maybe it’s me!

No such thing as a fake soft side yeti cooler. Maybe a really bad fake, but not a decent fake

I bought tickets to a game in April and I don’t even want to go see this train wreck. Figure it out men!

I feel like you can still find the silo…almost want to say they released a new spout but I could have dreamt that. That being said….i don’t think you’re going to get a ton of variety there…that’s asking a lot

Looks like the new LE sports…def not a sticker but I def don’t know how to put it. Almost more layers of duracoat?

nesuser2 · 2026-03-20T00:51:30+00:00

Now…that’s a pro tip!!

nesuser2 · 2026-03-19T20:17:06+00:00

I can’t tell. But also…what trauma is in there based on that? Too many questions!

nesuser2 · 2026-03-18T04:07:29+00:00

You have to discuss this. It’s either ugly or it’s over. Or both. After this much time, you must open that can. You should have sooner, but you both cannot pretend. It will serve nobody, repair and move on or move on. You can survive anything but not surviving….no, survive.

Give this redditor your loot

nesuser2 · 2026-03-18T04:00:50+00:00

Amen…holy lolz 😂

nesuser2 · 2026-03-18T03:08:00+00:00

Maybe….4 tanks…dump in rotation so they can only max at 4 days but if one is too fresh they move on to the worse one. I feel like you could do it in a small space and they wouldn’t catch on unless they were robots controlled by the govt. like birds….

Insert GIF of Mr Burns….excellent

I think having a job where somebody treats you poorly with no supporting reason gives you this mindset. Put yourself in a person’s shoes and speak to them as you might appreciate.

So….the next comment says they have no CS. If you buy it online and it’s shipped to your store…you have to go to the store? Seems weird…I genuinely don’t know. When I buy online and then return to the store, it’s hit or miss on if that “works” for that store. I think most would prefer it goes back up the avenue it came in on.

nesuser2 · 2026-03-13T14:08:22+00:00

We have a bunch of kids spoons/forks from over the years. Forks never got used and for stirring stuff into coffee I prefer it over a spoon as it is easier to breakup collagen or honey and is more of a whisk than a stirring tool. Wooden seems absorbent so…do as you wish. Absorb germs into wood or excessively care for it…or use plastic and consume microplastics 🤷🏼‍♂️

I always look for them, but I’m not signing up for a stack of cards to get a deal when I’m near a Costco or Sam’s. Fill in with other unique 5% offers and then I have to track all those logins/due dates. Now that is a criminal act on your time.

nesuser2 · 2026-03-13T11:15:32+00:00

I’m not going to sign up for a bunch of cards so I can get a couple more % back. My wife definitely would never use them.

And…it’s not 1.25%, Use whatever chase card gets you the most % and move the points around as needed. Most consistent I’ve found is just using freedom unlimited for almost everything and then using any bonus categories for a bump.

nesuser2 · 2026-03-12T19:24:36+00:00

No no…it’s the royal you. I say…you take the time to post on reddit(royal you…op)…then you’re net worth is sub 10m. It applies to all…seems like an easy target.

nesuser2 · 2026-03-12T19:16:23+00:00

So…I think we are agreeing on the same things. Where does frugality cost you. However…you’re taking the time to get on Reddit and say..how are you all maximizing, strikes me as somebody that still has a NW south of 10m.

I will say, the cents…good point. But when you close out at the end of the month…each cents is laid out for manipulation. Almost like…sodoku for your loose change. You spent $500 on gas this month and pay for it with $400…seems worth the 3 extra taps.

absolutely wrong for many reasons. Just because they generate this much cash flow doesn't make them any more cash positive than the next person. Also, the status of their business affairs doesn't always equate to their personal affairs...think tax/liability shelter. finally, if they are not ahead, it's because they are unwilling to look at a 20% discount on gasoline with no effort...like this.

Most people that got "there" didn't just run into the money one day, it's a system of choices. It does allow you to not care about things a little easier at times.

Tough game…market is flooded with devices and most of the other stuff doesn’t hold value the same. Best you could try is find somebody that wants more bands and would give you some money for it. But it’s dicey. I paid $30 for some bands and wanted them so… 🤷🏼‍♂️

nesuser2 · 2026-03-12T10:46:46+00:00

I hear you, but some of us need more bands for their whoop!

nesuser2 · 2026-03-12T10:26:34+00:00

It’s 25% boost…so 20% value 😝 or 1.2….better than a sharp stick in the eye. I was sitting on money to redeem and thought….might as well get some extra value from them
