This is why I run away from any "smart home" stuff. "Smart" light switch? No thanks, I'll walk up to the wall and flip a switch. Works every time, no apps, no login, no updates.
I thought electrical receptacles with built-in USB charging slots were a bad idea, and with stuff now moving to USB-C I'm afraid I was right.
I really don't want the wiring in my house going obsolete after a few years.
- adhesive_wombat 5y agoI don't like home automation either, but it's not really rewiring to swap a faceplate. Just annoying and a little wasteful of what is probably still a functional device. My single one it kitchen isn't obsolete yet: it's kind of outclassed by more recent fast-chargers for some phones, but all chargers I have that have a removable cable are still USB-A at the power socket end.
