Thinking about a conversation I was having with an acquaintance years ago. He was a friend of a friend and we were talking about food. I forget the exact phrasing but I brought up loving avocados. He said “what’s that?” I was a bit surprised and explained. He responded “OH thats crazy I thought that was one of those made up words”. The statement was like a flashbang I had to contemplate for a few minutes. PERSONAL STORIES ONLY, DO NOT INCLUDE A STATEMENT FROM A CELEBRITY OR POLITICIAN.
LOL. Meanwhile I’m scheming to replace the switch in their bathroom with a motion sensor, because my housemates will just routinely stink up the entire hallway and shuffle back to bed. Like the switch is RIGHT THERE?! C’MON‽
Home automation master race checking in. Do it. I had the same issue so I replaced the switch with a relay paired with sensors for motion, humidity and, ahem, volatile organic compounds (eg stink, stenk, stunk and stank). It solved a number of issues.
That sounds AWESOME. I was just thinking of those little replacement motion sensor switches you sometimes see in public buildings but this sounds way cooler.
…Also sounds perfect for my other wishlist project: To make a vent system like this for the litter box to siphon all that inevitable dust and stank. X_X A sensor relay like that sounds PERFECT.
Not to be a mega newb but, know where I might start to look for something like this? 😅
