I was at someone's house today and there was no way to set the thermostat because the internet connectivity was down.
This is the kind of crap that radicalizes you.
The thermostat was put there by the builder.
Addendum for further explanation: I was there for something work-related, and the house is vacant for the moment. You're supposed to connect the thermostat to their app, but I couldn't get the app to see the dumb thing, even after joining its own hotspot.
Really unnecessarily confusing.
It lets you sync to many types of smartwatches directly, without giving any data to the data pimps. At most, you have to do an initial sync with the corporate app, and then gadgetbridge takes over from there.
No fitbits unfortunately, but many huami and xiaomi devices, which can be had for pretty cheap. Also a couple fully open source ones like the #PineTime
With everything going on in the world, I take joy from the small things. Today, that happens to be controlling GNOME podcasts on pmOS with my PineTime. Amazing work devs!
Seriously though, is there such a thing as a Linux developer appreciation day?
