But that was then, when there was time to get good. Millenials now don’t have the time for that, and going online means getting ass-kicked.

The thought of a local computer being unable to boot because some remote server somewhere is unavailable makes me laugh and sad at the same time.

Yeah well, she’s insanely hot, but… No.

You don’t need smart motors or smart awnings, just a normal motorized awning connected to your smart switch of choice. I have bticino zigbee switches for the shutters, and shelly wifi ones for the awnings.

As a southern European, roller blinds or shutters are necessary for survival. What most people used to AC don’t realize, is that ANY light brings in heat. Roller blinds have holes in them that get closed only when you roll them down completely: if your house is somewhat cool, leaving them down with the holes open gives enough airflow while keeping most of the heat out. If you have AC, it’s even better, you don’t need much light to see inside.
