    What’s up with cities (in the US) not having the facilities for this? I know it’s not a perfect solution but everyone I see walking their dog in Los Angeles has these compostable bags.

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but it sounds like Europe does (generally speaking). Is it a matter of laziness or something else on our part?



  • Z-Wave. I could never get it working quite right despite purchasing highly recommended Aeotec stuff.

    The MultiSensor 7s and door sensors would always report a battery level of 100%, fall off the network, and do other crazy stuff. I spent a year with a Z-Stick 7 before finally bailing a buying a fifth generation stick.

    Firmware updates would take weeks because they just wouldn’t install. Constantly factory resetting them never fixed anything either.

    I really hate to say it, but Zigbee ended up working much better despite living in a 2.4GHz interference hell hole.


  • I feel the same, but my anger is scoped to cloud-connected “smart” things.

    Like you, I can’t stand my iRobot gear. My Roomba hasn’t updated its map in over a year because it always has “some problems” (probably due to pushing everything to the jank us-east-1 data center).

    On the other hand my recent Aqara gear is very nice but it took me time to finally call it quits on Z-Wave beforehand.
