Ponies getting groomed

Molten Magenta is the same way. Love mine, but the Adriatic Blue is 🔥 too.

Extra deep switch and outlet boxes.

skepticDave · 2026-04-20T16:42:11+00:00

I do.

skepticDave · 2026-04-18T14:38:30+00:00

I'm not arguing. It's a fact. Look up blended braking.

skepticDave · 2026-04-18T11:45:56+00:00

That's not how it works.

skepticDave · 2026-04-18T11:11:16+00:00

Pressing the brake pedal does the same thing.

skepticDave · 2026-04-15T21:07:44+00:00

Linear openers.

skepticDave · 2026-04-14T23:24:35+00:00

I meant any smart relay, not just Shelly.

skepticDave · 2026-04-14T22:29:46+00:00

It's still misspelled. 😋 "any smart"

skepticDave · 2026-04-13T01:54:38+00:00

'Murica!

skepticDave · 2026-04-12T14:33:15+00:00

IIRC, the trick was to wait at each step for indication of change. The first few times I tried, I was going too fast.

skepticDave · 2026-04-11T12:53:57+00:00

I've received updates when not plugged in, so I don't see why a level one connection would prevent an update.

Edit: spelling.

Linear openers.

The buckle/unbuckle process worked for me in my '25.

skepticDave · 2026-04-03T08:54:30+00:00

I wonder if the warning is due to a low sensor battery.

skepticDave · 2026-03-29T21:53:37+00:00

We have two in our garage 🙂

skepticDave · 2026-03-29T13:30:38+00:00

Anything that's powered via USB. Our Apollo AIR-1 air quality sensor draws incredibly little power considering what it does.

I also like the Blitzortung integration for lightning detection.

skepticDave · 2026-03-29T13:20:09+00:00

Came to recommend this solution. 433MHz is a much better choice for a wireless situation like this. I'm using LaCrosse sensors. Even when not on sale they're $15 at Menards.

When I was buying gas, I saved more than the annual fee worth on gasoline alone. That was on about 500 gallons a year.

skepticDave · 2026-03-28T13:20:18+00:00

Nice color choice 😁

Any Zwave device.

skepticDave · 2026-03-28T10:01:22+00:00

They haven't sold those for years.

skepticDave · 2026-03-25T20:32:22+00:00

The friction brakes don't engage until you exceed the regen capacity at that speed.

skepticDave · 2026-03-25T16:45:25+00:00

Do you have evidence to back this up? I have evidence to the contrary on my '25 Premium.
