  1. Moved all my smart home plugs onto a modern router in hopes that this reduces the problem of them dropping off of Apple HomeKit. #HomeKit #Matter #Leviton #SmartHome

  2. Today I replaced four old timey 1960s light switches and upgraded the outlet in the main bathroom to GFCI.

    I did it in under an hour which included hunting for tools, and cleanup. #NotAnAd, but the Leviton lever edge stuff makes it so much easier/faster.

    Kind of annoying how Home Depot has exclusive distribution w/ them, though.

  3. Got most of the switches throughout the house converted or upgraded to Matter. Went with because our mechanical paddle switches already are and the aesthetics match, but damn if they aren’t big. Even with slim wire levers I had to get creative in packing all the wires behind and all around the switches in a 3 gang box.

    I sent them feedback. If companies and cram all those smarts and antennas into a watch, they can make slimmer switches.

  4. (3/5) Second Example:
    More recent and annoying.
    I just got an electrical panel replaced. Long story... But I chose a #leviton load center.
    yay! Works. But the app and web interface only show wattage usage per day, daily, weekly and year. It doesn't show hourly, it doesn't show multiple year.

  5. @badnetmask I got a pair of Zigbee extenders from IKEA that helped me with reach. Otherwise, I’ve been waiting for Matter / Thread to get settled before I buy anything else.

  10. Feeling quite satisfied with my first genuine effort at a Structured Media Center. :blobfoxdealwithit:

    This gear turns 1 fiber run from the house into 4x gigabit PoE+ Ethernet runs in the garage, suitable for WiFi access points, cameras, etc.

    This project has been a great excuse to learn fiber optic networking. Many thanks to Tom at lanshack.com/ who validated my design and sold me a pre-terminated fiber for the main run!
