A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I got a family that likes to leave the damn light switches all on at night, I'm no longer going around and shutting them all off when everyone is in bed. Also, they are tied to my alarm, when I disarm the alarm or it goes off, they all come on.
But I'm doing all this through Home Assistant, a local open source automation server, not any of this cloud bullshit.
That sounds more like a social problem than a technical one...
Some fights are just not worth the hassle tho, you got to pick your battles.
And it's not like there is anyone factually "right" or "wrong", it's mostly a matter of opinions/priorities.
Another example, different expectations w.r.t. to cleaning. Either try to convince the other person to clean more, even if they don't see the need, or be always the one cleaning and build up frustration. Or: Get a roomba.
