I didn’t take my ADHD medicine today. Went to go get stuff out of my car and ended up with 3 different screwdrivers on the ground trying to unscrew the garage door opener.
The sun-tanning of the plastic was pretty cool. guess it used to be white instead of yellow/tan. Didn’t know that.
Oh absolutely, my tinfoil hat gets real itchy with devices like this - even with the levels of sanity that you’ve gone through I couldn’t install one on my non existent garage.
My cameras are reolink - running on their own vlan with no internet access. I even host my own time servers for them 😅 Cameras use a local google coral for object / facial recognition and send me alerts via home assistant when I’m not home. They are powered by a POE switch in my rack which has a stupidly large UPS.
My AC have their OEM wifi dongles replaced with ESP32 devices which I manage, my access points run OpenWRT - same with my router.
Any smart globe in my house runs via my own ZigBee network - not the OEMs dongle, same with motion sensors and door sensors.
All the small things I do won’t stop a brick coming through one of my windows and someone stepping through the hole they’ve just made.
There’s always an analog hole.
