The Hubitat product was "local first" before I ever heard of Home Assistant. I don't have experience with Home Assistant but I can say Hubitiat has almost never let me down, either a local device or web connector if you have to. I wish Ring doorbell and other closed source products would open up.

About 9 years ago, I submitted this as a joke to OnStar when I worked for GM. So it is prior work.

Just had to be said (because some guy said windmills cause cancer, just by hearing them).

I don't need a lot, can I just have a little? If so how do I get on the list?

I'm neither rich or trendy and I don't have this problem. You bought into a closed ecosystem, they have you by the pocket book and are not going to let go.

These are companies that don't want experienced (read over 38) or expensive workers. They want people who are cheap and beholden to them.

Paying Amazon for anything just makes me feel dirty. They underpay their workers and treat them like robots, cheat (legally of course) on their taxes and are running small businesses out of existence. But we do it anyway. I wish I could stop, but you can't find a lot of that stuff anywhere else for the same price. It I can I do try to buy direct online after checking local small businesses...

I think if Facepalm had not shut Trump down they would have been seen as accessories to the crime of incitement. Even if they are not able to be charged for it.

Sounds less like someone needs a civics lesson. The "three branches" of American government includes the judiciary. Currently the SCOTUS is controlled by conservative judges (some would argue the only thing that trump actually accomplished).

This is the only Sanders I would vote for... (Never thought I would agree with Garth on anything) https://www.freep.com/story/sp...

APPLE = Evil? or just millennia Just saying, they are very into everything being about themselves. They defer when They take the path of least resistance for everything and Morals are a thing-you-old-people-do. #### Things they do that is evil (even if not always illegal) They don't admit they make mistakes or try to fix what they did. (Faulty screens or keyboards) They don't stand up for what is right, just because it might cause some friction. (Anything to do with China) They use slave labor (essentially) and disguise/avoid knowing about it by saying (someone else does that not us, but they pay that someone) Tax cheats/avoiders (nuff said) They prevent any repairing anything they build as often as possible. I don't buy their stuff because I'm neither rich or trendy...

Nuff Said

Didn't anyone hear about this before? http://www.spreadingsantorum.c... If you know how it works of course you can "manipulate" it. How is this news?

Whoever wrote this statement is either looking for someone to beat them down, troll them mightily or they just have waaayyy to high of an opinion of themselves. Seriously. I think troubleshooting and fire-fighting IT problems is a lot more fun challenging than creating the problems with his poorly written code.

What else do you call them? That's what they are...
