My wage doesn’t have a cost of goods sold line item. If I take in $5b and make $5.5b in revenue, $300m is > 1/2 of my net profit

Not multistage, but it’s a heat pump with auxiliary heat. I have multiple zones controlled by dampers, too, soni have two of these thermostats.

I bought a Honeywell Z-Wave thermostat because I have a more complicated HVAC setup than the typical American home. It was one of the few I could find that was compliant with a home automation protocol that didn’t require something that announced its existence to the Internet. It’s been solidly reliable, replacing my dead Nest thermostat.

If Google assistant ends up dying this is the way I’ll be going with. I’ve already got HA up, I’m just using stuff that predates my HA setup.

No need for this. A Z-Wave or Zigbee thermostat does the same thing.

I have three lights that were wired to one switch. With smart bulbs, I can individually turn them on and off or dim them. No “dumb” solution exists for homes that were wired in a stupid way. This isn’t a niche application, it’s a common reality.

You burning out is a process failure. Work normal hours and let shit fail 🤷‍♂️. Say the reduction in hours is “health related” so they can’t pry.

Forgot about this one. I loved this phone back in the day. Remember when it would say DROID when you booted it up?

The LG Env2 would have been the perfect smartphone form factor, change my view.
