Still winter outside. Still wrangling data inside. So, I didn’t get to play with origami. But, I might after dinner because my eyes are too wasted to do much reading.
I did rethink my “smart home” wish list from yesterday. The Alexa ZigBee hub really doesn’t work well ( or at all) with ZigBee thermostats. It works fine with a couple of WiFi thermostats. But The Asylum wifi is seriously funky. Don’t want to try into it any more than I have to. So, I can pass on the thermostat for now. Also did a rethink on having my closet on motion detector switch. What I really want is to be able to turn it off which I am all cozy in bed and realize that I left the closet light on. So, it requires a plain old ZigBee switch. The really fine thing is that if the WiFi is out but the electricity is still on, Alexa can still turn things on and off. I am not sure that it can still run the routines or keep the groups sorted out without contacting the mother ship.
I hear my dinner calling.
