Add a remote control to your devices : Simpler way to control your home

 

If you are like me I am a bit ehem.. efficient and  do not want to get up to turn on the Floor lamps I have in our bedroom or in the living room,  the simplest way possible with out needing to get up, asking some one to do it for you, or setup a Smart home is by using a device like

Power plugs with IR remote control by Dewenwils

Features are

  • It can add a Remote Control to any device  that is already on the on position by default . I use it to control Floor lamps on the Bed room and Living room (range is pretty good, I can still control it from the Bedroom 😁 ), the Projector, the Humidifier, Electric fans, Christmas lights (placed it on an extension cord to to turn on or off multiple devices at once and TV's to make sure it is not still on and still consuming power (Disclosure the plug will still consume power as it is always waiting for signal but I believe it is not too high). 
  • It has 2 remote control so if you have a significant other, they also have control, or you can place it on a different location if needed
  • In a serious note it could also help those who have mobility issues control other stuff in the house in a simple way
  • Can reach multiple rooms.
  • If you ever decide to setup a Smart Home, you can integrate it to Alexa by purchasing a Broadlink RM pro and you can control it via voice , routines  and the remote will still work (This is my current setup, will  post about this later)
  • One of the best things I bought. No Cap!

    Avoid getting Burned: Shower head that shows the water temperature

    Have you ever burned your face off when taking a shower, 

    Scalded off the few remaining hair follicle that was bravely clinging 

    to your scalp moments before you decided that it is now time for a 

    bath.  

    The sad part you even checked the water was just right  but a few 

    minutes after  the shower  decided luke warm is not enough and 

    boiling temp might be better.

    Shower head that lights up depending on the temperature, 

    by Cobbe 


    WARNING!

    It takes a few seconds for the color to change to represent it's actual temperature so 

    just because it is green means its not too hot. 

    Let the water running for a few seconds and still test the water temp manually

    You have been WARNED!

    Green is Cold

    Purple  is ranging from Luke Warm, Warm and sometimes a bit HOT.

    Red as you might expect is HOT or close to BOILING


    You will still need to manually check the temperature if it is to your  liking to be safe, but at least if  you see the FLAMING RED LED lights hopefully the thoughts that would enter your head  would  be 

     "Gosh going to the Emergency Room while in my Birthday suite due to skin burns is  not really a good idea." 

    Other positives are


    • Easy installation (No tools needed and the Teflon tape was included

    • No batteries needed

    • It also has filters that might help with scalp or skin irritation

    • Water pressure is good

    • Good value for the price
