As others have said - I set up my whole house with Zooz z-wave switches (mostly ZEN72 and ZEN77) a couple years back. Very solid - started out on SmartThings, now on Home Assistant. I think my average cost was about ~$22/switch, cheaper than many alternatives. By default they show a small green light when the light is off, but it can be customized to different colors, or off all together. Loving my decision more and more as I keep seeing more news about issues with cloud connected devices and companies.
Testing on my iPhone 15 pro - I couldn't find it in the app store with a search but I looked up the developer and was able to download it there. Working so far, first image took a while (a few minutes, as the app warned me), but subsequent images were a bit faster (~1.5 minutes). Phone does get pretty warm though.
100% agree - I now have 2 EV's as our primary vehicles. They are amazing for normal trips, as I charge them in our garage. But every time I go on a road trip I get a bit of anxiety. I have to pre-plan charging locations on the route, many times I've had issues (all chargers full, multiple not working). It's not for the faint of heart, as filling up at plentiful gas stations doesn't require any thinking. I wouldn't recommend EV's for my older family members, especially if they plan on taking longer drives. If running errands, commuting to work, they are fantastic. While I think the criticism is fair, gas infrastructure has had a huge headstart, so I think we'll continue to see improvements in charging infrastructure and range, which should remediate most of these problems. I still think we're in a bit of the early adopter phase, unless your variables are controlled. Edit : After reading other comments, I think part of my issue was that my first EV was our Audi, Tesla seems to remediate some of these issues with their network. Looking forward to taking a roadtrip with my Tesla and comparing the experience, but I think the point still stands for many EV companies and the consumer experience.
