I had a humidity switch in ours a while ago (not smart) and it would turn on too much even if a shower wasn't running but our windows were open. And, enough humidity was in the air. So that didn't work out great.

It was a self contained deal not a smart switch though

I'm no facebook fanboy by any measure. I miss Forums, but everyone moved to FB groups. (at least 90% of the people/content). I am on FB, I manage my FB feed. I unfollow/unfriend "crackheads" as someone else called them. I only follow people that mainly post their own content, not forward shit, or post news etc.

I was mainly there to share public "stuff" with my remote family (both parents were 300-600 miles from us) and we had a young child (both parents first grandchild).

I now mainly use FB for groups of my interest, because that's where the people are. I also sell stuff on FB market place, because craigslist is a ghost town.

Between managing my feed/friends, using 'social fixer' browser extension and Pihole I rarely see ads on there. Certainly not on my PC. The the App can sneak in some, but I hide/report any ad I see.

It works for me. I don't live on there by any means but go there for interest groups.

I'm not sure if I've tried doing any PTZ stuff, but all the other settings for sure. The cameras I have all have SD cards so you could manage everything right from the UI and just have it record locally.

They want to connect to the mothership and destroy log files trying to get there.

All of the Amcrest "management" I do is within blue iris. I have a ptz IP4M-1041B but do not do any ptz stuff via HA. I use blue iris to send stream/alerts to HA via MQTT. This allows me to do notifications on motion. I would assume if you have location presets setup in BI you could call them from HA but that's a guess.

I messed around with presets (camera location) in blue iris a bit bit didn't have a real use case for it so I am not sure how robust it is.

I block internet access to all Amcrest cameras directly but can still access their local IP. I have access to my cameras again via blue iris which runs on a dedicated windows machine.

Been using enbrighten switches from Jasco. I use their Zwave but I think they have ZigBee too.

I use the ones that look like toggle switches over the paddle style to match the rest of the house .

I have them on all our bathroom fans too so they can be left on (steam / smell disposal) and auto shut off after 30 min.

You would think nearly half the voting population would agree and not support those that do. But here we are. Boggles the mind.

I was more aminable when I was paying $14.99 for YT Red Family plan. At $23/mo it's pretty expensive and I want new features/controls for that money

Ya, just an infrastructure where their ads have to go into blocks within the video (inserted wherever but tagged as such)

Generally an Unpopular opinion, but I think this should include creator ads (or at least an option per creator to support them by turning on their own ads).

Defaulted to off , I don't want to watch a random videos AG1 ad. That said there are a couple creators I watch I would be willing to enable theirs strictly to support them.

Because if I'm paying for ad removal it should be complete ad removal.

Meant to come here and post/see if anyone posted about this goal/game...

We were traveling the next morning and I forgot. We we're in the Baily and it was insane!! I had all but given up on a win and Acosta pulled out an Acosta! There's even a shirt with his post game comments.

We're still out of town but just setting up my macbook to my aubts TV to make sure we catch tonights game :)

Whether true or not there are back doors , as there will always be no matter where it's hosted. Unless we got access to the full source code .

But a "kill switch" doesn't address the issue. I mean while it's "killed" it does but whenever it's not, the data privacy concerns are in full swing.
