The Level locks are quite slow to react.

And then I have a mix of door sensors. Some doors have the Eve Home door sensors and some have Aqara door sensors. Both work about the same, but the Eve sensors are more geared toward an Apple ecosystem. The status light I have is also an Aqara and acts as a hub for the door sensors, so if you're going to get the same light I have, stick with the Aqara door sensors. They're quite a bit cheaper anyway and they use a more commonly found battery.

Aqara also makes smart door locks, but I've never used them.
Nice. Thanks for the reply and details.

In true used car fashion, one thing turns into another and many well why I'm in heres later I just ordered way too many parts. Think the wife just rolls her eyes at this point. The Mini should be in pretty good shape once I'm done.

I love it. I'm a big fan of super automatic machines. Our first was a Jura Capresso and this is now our second Gaggia. Actually, it's our third Gaggia. I liked our previous one so much I bought another one to use at work. And I'm thinking about repeating that with this new one.

If you haven't already done so, spend some time watching machine videos on Whole Latte Love. They will help you make a solid decision.


EDIT: Something to consider...
These machines, generally speaking, don't like dark roasted, oily beans. Some will tolerate them but only if you set the grinder to its coarsest setting but then it'll make terrible espresso. I'd suggest you first determine what beverage you'll make most frequently using your preferred roast and brand of beans and then selecting the machine that best suits those scenarios.

I'm about to start running PoE cable through the soffits and maybe some Cat 6 in the walls. This should make things a bit easier. (He claimed naively. )

Just arrived. Fairly hefty and it came with a full-size screwdriver to attach the one screw to the handle. IKEA, please take note.

Guess what I'm making for breakfast tomorrow...

600 Lumens LED REDLITHIUM USB Low-Profile Hard Hat Headlamp. My nephew had one up at the cabin this weekend. Incredibly comfortable on my bald head, and so bright even *I* could see.
