Comment on The Amazon Echo graveyard
sirswizzlestix@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoMultiple timers in the kitchen is a must. For those that don’t know, pro to prosumer grade kitchen gear has been doing it for years:
Those look great but a physical timer doesn’t label which timer is which nor is it available throughout the house. Why shouldn’t i see my laundry timer when I’m in the kitchen or my kitchen timer when I’m in the family room?
While I wish for a home solution, nothing matches my Apple Watch. Voice response. Any number of timers. Timers are named. Timers go with me everywhere
The time stack does up to 100db (which is really effin loud) and each of the timers has a different sound.
It’s not as perfect as an Apple Watch or a digital device that always travels either you but I can hear this timer two stories away in our house
I also have the TimeStack and it’s great. However, my one complaint is that there’s no external power switch, and therefore, seems to use up batteries quicker than it should.

I just use an app on my phone. Being able to set a timer with multiple stages is important to me for baking (I can make a custom timer that pauses at each stage of rising).
