Amazing, thank you so much! This gives me a great starting point. I love your creativity with the diaper-counting - there's so much cool stuff that tech can do, but I especially love when it's helping out with the mundane daily tasks!
Good point, I hadn't considered the UV light impact. Thanks for the Aqara Rex, will look into it.
Hi Kiwi friends!
Does anyone have recommendations for a wireless, battery-powered smart button available in NZ (or that ships to NZ)? I'd like to use it with Home Assistant to act as a doorbell.
I can see things like this online, but the "easy to use, free app!" is off-putting... I'm after a button that has minimal capability to spy on me, and that can be integrated with HA.
Any suggestions welcome - or if anyone has any better ideas on an alternative option, go for it! We can't get mains power or PoE where I want to put the doorbell.
This is how I feel when colleagues resign from my workplace... I'm sad that I'll miss their presence at work, but ultimately happy that they're expanding their careers and moving onto bigger things.
Well, at least they used silane instead of PFAS.
I bought two tickets to a show from Ticketek (for Isaac Theatre in CHCH). It says in the email that I need to print them off but... do I reaaaally? Or can I just show them on my screen?
I'm really loving all these old-school-internet vibes, thanks for sharing! (Errors aside)
Agreed, and from the article, 3/4 of voters agree too! There's no reason why teeth should be treated so differently to the rest of healthcare.
Buddliah, ahaha, I know the pain! Thanks for the input, seems like stones are a good option.
My one concern is weeds... I'm hesitant to use weed mat but maybe it's worth it for this kind of long-term landscaping.
Very helpful, thank you! Sounds like you settled on the best solution; I'll take your learnings on board.
Kia ora e te Lemmy whānau!
We've just moved into a new build, which hasn't been landscaped, and I'm at a loss for what to do immediately next to the external walls.
I've seen a few options around town, but I haven't found a good resource for actual recommendations. I've seen:
- river stones/gravel surrounding the foundation for ~30 cm
- plants against the walls (e.g. griselinia, lancewood
- driveway (concrete/asphalt)
I know I need to direct drainage away from the foundation, but can I plant grass (or similar plants) right next to the walls? Is there a standard rulebook I can refer to?
Any help would be appreciated!
