You need to think about the average consumer. You first have to time sync. Then you have to program it. Do you remember VCRs? 9/10 people could not program their VCR. Oh yeah, and when the power goes out and you forget to reset the clock your schedule is no longer correct.
And with that, you still have no dynamic control.
- nottorp 3y ago> the power goes out and you forget to reset the clock Btw what's with that crap in 2024? Alarm clock manufacturers have mostly learned to put in a slot for a backup battery for the time, why can't anyone else learn that? My coffee maker can be programmed to start at a certain hour - with some difficulty :) - but if the power goes out it loses the clock. It wasn't the cheapest, they had enough BoM to put in something that detects when it needs descaling for example. So why the hell not a battery slot too?
