Ik was de pop-ups, reclames en trackers van Datumprikker helemaal zat, dus bouwde ik zelf een alternatief. Altijd gratis, geen reclame, geen account, geen tracking. En open source, zodat dat ook zo blijft. Plan je volgende etentje, vergadering of borrel eens met Prikkert.nl!

Neato cloud shutdown is the latest example of a failed company bricking smart products

9to5mac.comNeato cloud shutdown is the latest example of a failed company bricking smart productsThe Neato cloud server needed to keep the shuttered company’s robot vacuum cleaners running is being closed down three years earlier than promised, turning the smart devices into dumb ones. The parent company had initially promised that the MyNeato app would continue working until 2028, but has now backtracked on this and is ceasing support before the end of this year.

I’ve modified a spare IKEA button with Zigbee for this 😱, sends short and long presses to HA. Great idea! I somehow really needed this, now I need some idea what hitting the button actually does…
