    Not 2k beds. 2k bed covers. You still needed your own bed.

      I thought I read about beds also being stuck in a reclined position.

        That version is significantly more expensive. Still requires you to bring your own mattress lol

  Nothing needs to be, but I do like to monitor door status and temperature for my fridge and deep freezers with home assistant.

    Have these functions actually proved useful? I think I’ve had maybe one fridge failure in my entire lifetime that resulted in a complete loss of contents.

      The door monitor mostly helps when a kid walks off leaving it open thinking they closed it.

      The freezer temperature monitoring has saved the contents several times. A breaker had tripped once and I didn’t notice, it let me know that I needed a generator during a power outage, and one of the kids snuck an ice cream and left the lid wide open.

      So yeah, it’s been useful. It’s not needed 99% of the time.

        An alarm that beeps when the door is left open more than X minutes (say, 2 minutes) only requires a stupidly simple circuit and about $5 in parts.

        No smarts needed (though it’s probably cheaper to make it with a microcontroller than have the timer circuit be done with discrete parts).

      The only time I've ever lost anything from a fridge was when an apartment complex preemptively cleared out the last of our belongings before we finished moving out.

      And that was 30 years ago.

    To Home Assistant! The cause of, and solution to, all of life’s problems.
