I'm constantly impressed by the number of things the products you've reviewed lately can do. This week we have a camera/door sensor combination that handles a tricky privacy issue. (Last week, it was a camera that also acted as a ZigBee hub.) I'm really liking that some manufacturers are getting into that "why not?" territory where things aren't simply laser-focused on a small set of functions. I also like the fact that these things don't just have extraneous features, but extra features that make sense and add to the legitimate use-cases of the products. On Baby Paul: Having been through this myself with my own child (with somewhat different specifics), I'm thinking forward to that date when Paul, the younger, will join the ranks of school children, only to quickly find out that _no_one_ understands pelvic thrusts to chants of "Home Assistant" and eventually eliciting that dreaded note home asking, "What in the world is this 'zig bee' that your child keeps mentioning on the playground?" Just be ready when some person asks with a jaundiced eye, "So this oddness is basically your fault?" to happily respond, "Why yes, it is." (You'll get points if you say it before your wife does.) Back to the subject at hand: Your reviews are amazingly complete (e.g.: the "Home Assistant" integration issue. I needed to know that.) Thanks again and I'll remember to give it a "thumbs up" this time.

While the chances of being hacked are low, there's a greater chance the Mrs or gf will throw the camera out of the window if she thinks it will record her walking around in her undies. From that angle the privacy shutter is useful. But then again, if burglars sneak in during the day or night, you really do want the camera to record everything 24x7.

Hi Paul. A question for you. Family member has asked about the most secure \ sensible way to add a camera or two so they can monitor their disabled husband while out of the house, check on carers activities etc. Obviously this needs to be secure as its very private stuff (no Chinese servers and lots of personal details needed) and can not overly complicated. Requirements are pretty simple - monitor whats going on with a live view, record option for ongoing and motion so some footage can be stored if needed and can be turned off for privacy. What would you or others on here recommend, or alternatively definitely not do !

Yeah. I love my Nest thermostats that I've had for five or so years. But, quickly figured out their geofencing has a drawback; it can't read minds. It's great that the heat or AC shuts off when both wife and I are out of the house. But, there are many times when one or both of us return home for just a short period of time. The Nests don't know that we'll be gone again shortly and start heating or cooling. It's a waste. And, contradicts their "energy saving" claims. So, what is it that I like about the Nests so much: 1) They work. 2) They've been very reliable. 3) I don't have to get off my arse and go upstairs to change the settings. 4) I can check on conditions at home when outside the house and I can change the settings if appropriate. Like a half hour out on a very cold day when coming home from a trip. It will be nice and warm when we arrive home. Actually, this applies to any scheduling features on any automation system. In today's world, our schedules are seldom all that consistent and algorithms can't accurately anticipate changes in advance most of the time.

It can store the storage over NAS and can be integrated with the HomeAssistant. I've been running multiple cameras in the house now that turn on when we are connected to a specific wifi. We aren't using the geofencing as the wifi was a better option for me since if we are in a different room it would be an easier trigger for me to set the camera to turn on automatically. Price of this device is higher though. From Malta it's at €50.
