  • It integrates very well. The only thing that doesn’t work is reading the state of the siren. You can turn it on or off, but you can’t see whether it’s on or off. Everything else works great. I have some outside cameras and some inside ones, and they all connect to the Home Hub or whatever they call it, and that connects to Home Assistant.

    All of my cameras have their own SD cards, and the Home Hub has its own SD card. According to the docs, this means they’ll record in both places, but I haven’t checked.

    A really nice thing about them is you don’t need to make an account. The app works by pairing with the devices, and you’re done. You can stream video from anywhere, no account needed.








  • Flying bugs often can’t fly when their wings are wet. They go in for a drink, get wet, then can’t get out. If there were some dirt on the edge, they could swim out and dry off, but a glass isn’t made of dirt, so it’s harder to get a grip on vertical glass or glazed drinkware.

    Wine and sweet drinks are even worse, because the bugs are attracted to the scent, and they often don’t have as much surface tension as water, which means the bug can’t just land on it, and when they fall in the liquid fills their respiratory system (basically little holes in their exoskeleton).








  • You have to completely immerse yourself in Spanish content if you want to learn it quickly. Switch your phone and PC to Spanish. Start only watching Spanish language videos and shows. Read only Spanish language news. Listen to only Spanish language music. The only time you should hear or see English is when you’re communicating with someone who doesn’t speak Spanish.

    That’s the fastest way (without moving to a Spanish speaking country).
