Hence why I go out of my way to find non connected products for my needs.
Garage door, applicances. Light bulbs.
At the moment I have no need of cellphone wi-fi or Internet controlled applicances and fixtures. I can use traditional light switches. I can use manual clickers, I can keep track of my own groceries in my fridge. I don’t need subscriptions to operate those things, I don’t need a corporate data center to track my groceries
It’s frustrating trying to find some basic puck lights or led strips that don’t require aps to operate
That’s Really Great But Why The Fuck Write Like This?
Seriously fuck that MyQ app. It’s such a pile of crap. When they dropped interoperability they said they believed the garage door would become the hub of the connected home. Newsflash folks. No one wants their garage door app to be the hub of their connected home. They just want plain old HomeKit or Alexa support. You are insignificant in the digital world and nothing you do will ever change that.
