Smart devices are....

the stupidest thing in existence... except for me because I keep trying to make them work.

In my bedroom I have a smart light, a smart fan, 2 smart outlets. Not one of them worked on the first 1,000 attempts. The one I have now, a ceiling light, would not connect.... for 3, maybe 4 hours, of me trying everything known to man. Finally it did.... for no reason I could discern. BUT..... now if I leave it on it will go into pairing mode after about 5 minutes and when it does.... it's toast. Nothing on it will work until you remove the device then reinstall it. I hate it with the burning passion of a supernova.

I wish they'd bring back "the clapper".... something that actually worked. - JamesJM
