pointless - i have 5 day full history. if I pay £10 more per year I get 30 day event history only.
if I pay £60 more per year I get 30 day full history.
i'd rather stay on my current package.
Yeah i'm not too keen on this "event history recording" even if it is only 30 days. If i wanted event history recording i would have gone for the inferior ring doorbell.
Anyone using hue light strips to light landing in evening?
Now my son is toilet trained he gets up in the night. I'm wanting to put 2 strips to light the floor up slightly so he doesn't bump or trip in pitch black if he gets out of bed.
Not sure how to mount and hide them. Dint just want 2 light strips stuck to the walls.
Our landing is wall on one side and baluster on other side.
Anyone got any pics or ideas for stealth mounting?
For stealth mounting, i would just stick a strip under the balustrade, and then a motion sensor on the ceiling. If you weren't too fussed about the look + faff of installation, you could just as easily put a smart bulb in the landing light and have a motion sensor dim that when activated.
Currently pricing things up for my first property, I have left my missus to the interior decorating and then I have a budget for the "tech". Currently looking at going for;
- Nest Hello
- Google Wifi Router + Point (Will be going with Virgin and the superhub is trash!)
- Nest Thermostat
- Nest Hub (in Kitchen)
- Nest Protect
For CCTV I am thinking of a Reolink system as I have one installed at my parents house and its been solid and the Nest cameras are very expensive.
Still looking into 'security', not too sure if to go for a "smart" system or one of the more traditional systems.
Depending on how smart you intend to go, the Nest API is now closed down until Google decides what they wish to do with it. So Nest is more of a closed system now, there are a few hacks to get components working but it's not completely smooth and requires some tinkering.
