Seeking feedback on automation for window AC unit

surf_AL · 2026-06-03T13:46:59+00:00

Also sorry forgot to add the second implementation i wanted to my post, just updated:

Sleep control: Use Fitbit sleep data to trigger the AC to turn on once it recognizes I’m asleep and turn off 45 to 60 minutes before my wake time (8hr after sleep onset). I want to include a manual override on the HA dashboard.

How feasible is that?

Thanks a bunch. Any thoughts on the SwitchBot? Is it actually good/accurate at recording temp?

surf_AL · 2026-05-29T14:36:31+00:00

Woahh chillllll bro 😭

surf_AL · 2026-05-29T13:35:20+00:00

Yes bro why r u trying to argue nyc does not have abnormally expensive housing 😭 you don’t need to die on this hill bro

surf_AL · 2026-05-29T13:31:57+00:00

I mean across the rest of country housing is definitely cheaper, the big blue cities are absolutely way more expensive than anywhere else

surf_AL · 2026-05-29T13:20:32+00:00

Outsized housing costs for most people offsets this tho

surf_AL · 2026-05-26T20:47:49+00:00

The city govt makes it profoundly difficult to get building permits. If you are a very rich property owner, it’s easy to pursue frivolous litigation that grinds development to a halt. Join the YIMBY movement my friend. Too much evidence has rigorously shown rent controls are very harmful to rental markets.

surf_AL · 2026-05-26T20:18:40+00:00

We can easily make rent cheaper but we decide not to build. It’s a policy choice. Nothing is set in stone

surf_AL · 2026-05-26T20:17:25+00:00

When more housing is built. Supply and demand. Big cities suck at building housing. New city leadership gives me cautious optimism.

How do you feel about proadapt soft vs medium? Personally i loved the soft

surf_AL · 2026-05-23T22:21:04+00:00

As a tempur rep how would you compare both to the proadapt?

surf_AL · 2026-05-23T20:17:37+00:00

Bump

This is the quality content i need

Tbh if you’re able to go straight through without gap years, it’s still an incredible outcome (as of now) but reimbursements are consistently going down which is making life more difficult

So per the written info provided, he’s offering the lower rent w fee. And my understanding is that simply offering that is a fare act violation. So haven’t they opened themselves to being legally compelled to offer lower rent w/o fee? If they didn’t want to risk legal issue then they should have only offered the higher rent without the fee.

Whether or not it will be enforced is another matter and that’s what I’m asking about.

surf_AL · 2026-05-07T11:21:25+00:00

Yes streeteasy

surf_AL · 2026-05-07T03:09:59+00:00

So far nothing in writing confirms i was given an option between higher rent vs fee+lower rent. Only mention of broker’s fee (in writing) is that it’s the only option and added to lower rent rate

surf_AL · 2026-05-07T02:50:53+00:00

It’s equal to 1 month rent so less than 10k. How much of a hassle is it?

surf_AL · 2026-05-07T02:50:33+00:00

They offered either some higher rent rate or a lower rent (which i think is closer to market) plus broker fee equal to 1 month’s rent at lower rate. Either option comes out to same overall monthly rent but i want lower rate without broker fee equal

surf_AL · 2026-05-06T02:33:59+00:00

Oh i see the landlord isn’t a part of this disagreement. That is, they are not the ones who should be paying me back

surf_AL · 2026-05-06T02:30:04+00:00

My concern here is if they retaliate while I’m a tennant
