Classy area

I'd say it's less to do with the area and more to do with moronic kids

I used to live in a classy area too - the kids nicked the wireless doorbell and hid behind a wall and kept pressing it for a laugh - of course, we just switched the bell off and that spoiled their fun - but it highlights the risk of having an expensive doorbell though.

The missus has got a bit spooked by a break-in in the next street, so I've been given permission to buy some Nest Cameras and Hue bulbs

Oh, and a Google Home Hub to control it all from. Exciting times!

For the bedroom?

For the cat's bedroom....

Not sure I want google listening to my cats bedroom habits

We've both got Google Assistant on our phones so that genie is well and truly out of the bottle. In fact we were discussing what we could do with the lights last night, and 10 minutes later the wife was getting adverts on Facebook for a competing product.....

Well. basically, our phones are listening devices. When we accept usage of the microphone, we make ourselves available to being listened in on, or so I've heard.

You can set a minimum temperature. So if you like a toasty 19.8 degrees and think your cat will cope with 15 degrees, you just set 15 as your minimum. It really is fantastic!

Seriously, what the f. 19.8 == toasty?

I'm looking at the digital thermometer now, it shows 24.2, and i'm comfortable. If it goes below 23, that's chilly.
