What are some of the best purchases of your life?
  • Wait, wait I know this conversation. Somebody is going to bring up 240v vs 120v and then somebody else will say that's not actually very relevant and will link to the Technology Connections YouTube video.

  • Outdoor Temperature Sensor
  • On the high end, the Tempest weather station is pretty great and integrates nicely over the weatherflow2mqtt integration. Obviously, this is far, far more than just temperature, but worthb thinking about.

  • Evaporative Humidifier
  • This is what I do for my whole-floor dehumidifier in my basement. Simple zwave smart plug and taking a mean of several humidity sensors in the basement to trigger on and off. Also have my home theater down there so I turn if off when a movie is playing as it's slightly loud when running.

  • NFC tags are a complete game changer!!
  • This is why they aren't useful around the house for me. I will say that I regularly use the one glued to the outside trim of my garage door (white on white trim so completely hidden dot) to open and close my garage when out biking with the family. That's actually really useful.

  • Zigbee devices dropping out of the network
  • What are the devices dropping? Certain brands don't always follow the full ZigBee spec as they should and often have issues when not paired with their proprietary hubs. Aqara is the classic example: their hub works brilliantly with their devices, but pair them to a standard ZigBee stick and you're at the mercy of the ZigBee gods.
