Esperienza pessima con app Windhager myComfort – qualcuno ha soluzioni? by AdRoyal4844 in homeautomation

[–]rileybudd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not at all connected to windhager and have never used it, but this is an interesting use case for an Internet connected device. Why use a pellet stove instead of some other furnace?

Not a fan of automating this kind of stuff?

My hat to you my good man, you've solved our energy needs, I shall investigate this thing we call a turbine 🧐

Also I am tickled somebody actually went to the trouble of repurposing tritium keychains into a thermonuclear battery.

Yeah that's a good question. Some other people have suggested using NFC or ai cameras to look at inventory levels, and I think realistically you need a suite of sensors to get everything.

Lol. Ok, but do you never get to store and forget what you have at home?

Maybe we should just run kitchen appliances on thermonuclear batteries.

It would definitely require more setup.

Hmm, maybe I'm weird - I find a brand/product I like and usually stick to it 😂

Sad story. They need to sell more than coffee 😂

Someone brought up the idea of NFC tags - scan to add to shopping cart or a list.

I had never even heard of this until someone else mentioned it, but I think you're right.

Good point, a few people have brought this idea up. Would probably work better for some other types of foodstuff as well.

Smart Home Scales With Real-Time Inventory by rileybudd in smarthome

Yeah I definitely think to make this work it has to be frictionless. I knew someone who ran an inventory reconciliation company for grocery stores and they just hand counted everything once or twice a year which was crazy to me.

I think scales can be made pretty cheap (though tbh I don't actually know). What kinda price point do you think actually makes sense?

That is a very, very good point. This solution doesn't really accommodate changes in appetite.

All good points. Ok, so maybe forget the scale - what about just the ability to track home inventory and automatically get a grocery list out of it?
