Not blasting my retinas at 3 a.m. when I just want to pee is a pretty solid use case. The full bathroom light is tuned for my wife doing makeup, and it hits like a flashbang.

If anything, calling someone’s $30 tinkering project “late-stage capitalism” feels more late-stage than the project itself. Criticizing people for having hobbies is a weird hill to die on.

Yea, my guess is just based on what the strip says (12+12 watts per meter)

Only wattmeter I have is an Ikea ZigBee plug, which does draw reporting. Could use that and measure it's wattage

yea, i added costco backlit/heated mirrors.

Had to run a new wire from my light fixture, but worth it,.

Pictures a bit old, i've replaced the toilet since, as the old one was leaking

yea, havent decided if it will always be on, and brighten, or only turn on when someones there.

The energy cost should be nearly nill, a watt or two (it 12 watts at max, and im using it at 5% for standby!)

?

Total project cost was $30, parts from Aliexpress, and its because i love to tinker

ha ha ha, thanks!

Its not wood, its a click-lock, waterproof vinyl.. that just is a really good imitation!

I grew up in the Okanagan, and moved to a rural coastal community.

I miss the seasons, coldy snowy winter's, asphalt melting summers.

I also miss the fruit and veggies, while I have blackberries here, I don't have the apples, peaches, strawberries, and endless veggies.

I mainly use ZigBee, with a sprinkling of Wifi.

I think matter is going to continue to grow, both matter and matter over thread, especially with Ikea switching over.

Wow, look great! Real life there!

I don't see a "and they need to host it"

But allowing/enabling community servers would allow it to stay playable at minimum cost to the developers

if i could install and run Home Assistant on this, i could see having a use for it... but that requires me to have complete control, and not samsungs BS
