but as the Matter standard doesn’t yet support energy monitoring, users are limited to basic features like on and off and scheduling

- from this link

Granted the article is almost a year old. But I just didn’t realize that Matter now supports energy monitoring. Somehow I just missed that news.

I know I’m not necessarily the target audience for this. But it feels too expensive. 6x the price of Cloudflare R2, almost 13x the price of Wasabi. Even iCloud storage is $0.99 for 50 GB with a 5 GB free tier. But again, I know I’m not necessarily the target audience as I have a lot of technical skills that maybe average users don’t have.

If you ever get around to building an API, and are interested in partnerships, let me know. Maybe there is a possibility for integration into !echo@eventfrontier.com 😉.

I wish it worked on more webpages. But totally agree.

What? I’m not following. Steam isn’t federating with anyone. This is about having a link to an external site. Nothing more. Has nothing to do with federation directly.

That is so bad. They clearly don’t understand the appeal of decentralized systems…

Submitted!

Just added to my todo list. Hopefully I’ll get around to this today! Thanks!!

Thanks so much! 🎉 Native is the only way to go imo 😝. I’ll make a PR this weekend.

Might also have some comments on the Lemmy API eventually, but I’ll save those for a later date haha.

Thanks for all you do for Lemmy.

Check back in 24 hours or so. If it still isn’t available, please let me know.

What is your region?

Just posted there. Thanks!

At this point it’s like, why not use Ethernet?

Good feedback. This is meant to be extremely initial. I absolutely understand the hesitation to collecting PII. TestFlight does capture a lot of this data automatically when you sign up using a link anyways. Once it gets into beta (or even later alpha stages) I plan on releasing a public link that doesn’t require an application. I really appreciate your honest feedback tho, and I’ll definitely take it into consideration and consider alternatives in the coming days. Thanks again!

Feels like this would just be adding on a centralized feature to a system designed to be decentralized. If anything, it should be based on a decentralized system like Bitcoin or something.

Personally, that isn’t how I think about a smart home system. There isn’t a need to do major changes until maybe you need to get it replaced anyways. Starting with things like lights, a few shades, door sensors, are good ways to start. The biggest question is what do you want to get out of it?

The craziest thing is that Elon’s tweets are still completely visible.

So if you were moving to another home or apartment, is it a reasonable strategy to stop paying rent at your current home while you’re looking for a new place? Of course not. Same idea here.
