Hover hand to avoid fingerprints. Smart.

From now until then you're invincible.

I've used one for podcasts, definitely. But even for music, they may be poor quality generally but they're significantly better than a phone speaker, and much better than a phone speaker ten feet away through glass or plastic.

Pick Ocon as the third and Netflix will pay handsomely. 🍿

You could even just take the switch apart and rewire it to an IO pin, and then actually control the bulb socket with a relay. In that case you could have it truly integrated and nobody would notice a difference.

I guess I mean anything nearly guaranteed to risk grievous injury like getting hit by a bus or something. If I can still use the 7.5mil after the day's over I'll do it all.

They see impeachment count as a political issue ever since Trump was rightfully impeached twice. Now they can't be the only party with a president impeached so many times.

Well yeah. I guess if you want to DIY a solution there's a lot more you can do. My issue is building a polished finished product rather than exposed wires and a switch, since I have the wife approval factor to consider now. So it's easiest for me to buy a smart outlet and a button or switch vs wiring up my own solution and trying to 3d print a case these days.

I'm a big guy so my weight in gold is pretty compelling tbh.

I'd probably do anything not deadly or grievously injuring for $7.5M in gold in one day.

I started off WiFi and ended up on zigbee for the most part. The major downside of wifi is how many devices are cloud/proprietary but it sounds like you're using esphome so that's not an issue. I definitely like my zigbee devices as they also tend to be slightly cheaper, but starting with WiFi is an easy progression definitely.

Getting a USB zigbee device is about all you need to get up and running and adding to your mesh, which I definitely recommend eventually.

The only real way I've found of doing stuff like this is another smart button or switch nearby. I use my buttons for whole groups of lights and toggles based on current state and whether you short/long/double click the button.
