Now I never have to think about the porch lights again.
Just today I replaced my master bathroom closet light switch with a zigbee smart switch that will automatically turn off when nobody is in there. I got tired of Mrs turning it on and finding it that way hours later.
I rigged our whole house to go into sleep mode after we’re both in bed for an hour.
Once, the cat and dog conspired to turn my whole fucking house off at 2pm.
I have wanted to do this but I’m too lazy.
long-term lazy
vs
short-term lazyThe daily struggle
I prefer the term strategic laziness
at that point, you might as well call it: efficient
Two of the four porch light bulbs were out for months before I did this.
Listen, man. If you said you’ll do something, you will. You don’t need someone reminding you every six months.
It’s also great for security. If someone goes slinking around your property, thinking it’s nice and dark, then they get close to the sensor and it’s all “SURPRISE, MOTHERFUCKER!”
