    That's great. I recently got a pet feeder from them. My main criteria was that it works with ZigBee and home assistant.

    Every other I have tried ends up failing with communication with their back ends, inevitably leading to a piece of unmaintainable trash.

    Aqara worked immediately out of the box. Connected to my home assistant within minutes.

    Wait 5 seconds to enjoy the scenery.

    Anyway, like I thought earlier. I should definitely solve the puzzle like this.

    The benefit is also it's curse. It's all open, so there can be a bunch of names and a bunch of apps. Nobody agrees what the best app is.

    But once you get your own ecosystem set up, it is amazing.

    Which is a huge hurdle for new people 😬

    Something doesn't work in a particular piece of software. "Don't they test their program?". "All they need to do is X, obviously they don't know how to code!".

    Sometimes it isn't as easy as you think.

    This isn't strictly no context, but it blew me away and I wanted to share it anyway.

    I started D&D with the family over quarantine. They had a quest to clear the goblins out of a mine. They got inside and dealt with most of them. They over powered three of them and tied them up, so that they could be interrogated.

    My 9 year old then decides he wants to murder them.

    Our faces when we realised our child was a murderhobo.

    And just to piggyback on this comment, I'm an Android developer and we this information is critical for determining similarities for bug solving.

    You would not believe how often there is a bug caused by a specific model of phone. That connection you can only know if you log that for every crash you get.

    I like to think of myself as a very experienced CDDA player, and there's a lot of good tips in here. A lot I had no idea about. Thank you 😊
