also got some generic smart plugs

this might be a controversial opinion but "smart" stuff that's just "it's connected to wifi so you can turn it on/off with voice or your phone" is fine and cool and good, it's when it tries to actually be "smart" that it turns into shit

(* and of course all the crap that's wholly tied to a single cloud provider and then vanishes)

@Xkeeper oh! i like messing with lan-only smart stuff too~

it's both kinda fun, but also cool being able to decrease my mental load by making my stuff act the way i like without needing to do it manually

it's not bad for getting into healthy routines too, which is huge for me since i can't maintain routines to save my life
