Cygnet button doesn't have a temperature sensor. Aqara and Smartthings buttons do. Unfortunately I'm finding my Smartthings button is...

Yep Aqara ones are the best but hard to find cheap anymore. They also have a built in temperature sensor which I only recently discovered....

Teal on Xiaomi Dreame T20 $399 (Was $799) + Delivery (Free with Kogan First) @ Kogan

Someone needs to work out how to adapt power tool batteries for these

thestig on Britax Safe-N-Sound b-Grow ClickTight+ Car Seat $619 + Delivery @ Baby Bunting

In my experience circumstances may change so going for an up to 8yr old seat and paying top dollar for it may not be the best way to go....

After my Trouver died I decided to play safe and go back to Dyson. Bought the V8 a couple hours ago from eBay. At least there's always...

tanabe88gg on Britax Safe-N-Sound b-Grow ClickTight+ Car Seat $619 + Delivery @ Baby Bunting

Hope that's /sarcasm but I can't tell... Pretty sure my low-mid price convertible seat outperforms ones that cost 4 times as much.

ilu on USB RGB LED Bluetooth + IR Control Lightstrip 1m US$3.37 (A$4.93), 2m US$4.04 (~A$5.90) Delivered @ High LED Light AliExpress

Yeah I'm going to do this. Though can't remember if it's the 44 key remote or the 24 key remote. 24 key is good as it separates on and off...

Kogan and Arlec beat these. No point paying this premium price. Not even ZigBee either

No idea why you'd buy these if you didn't have a hub. Might as well go for Tuya bulbs

Need to wait for Matter devices. Or get a home automation hub

Pretty sure this was under $50 at my local Bunnings. Had to do a double take to look whether I was reading it right. Was very tempted but...

Nothing special really. Still quite overpriced even if they were addressable RGB. A good deal would be $10 or less. Wifi RGB fairy lights...

supasaiyan on 10% off Samsung Galaxy S22 or Galaxy Tab S8 for Referee, $50 Voucher for Referrer @ Samsung Store

Took me over a month to get my S8 ultra. Kept hassling and they didn't do shit. Really quite a joke. No idea why the delay
