I would like to raise people's awareness of a thing I discovered to actually exist yesterday which has in the ~5 mins since I installed it proven very convenient
It's a switchbot
It's a Bluetooth enabled device that *manually* turns your lights on or off. Physically.
No wiring no subscription no mic no WiFi no hub no nothing. Just the thing and an app. You can still use the switch as a manual switch as well. I've been complaining about wanting something like this for years and only ever finding like Alexa enabled smart switch replacements.
Just stick it to your lightswitch and enjoy never having to get off the sofa to turn the lights on/off again.

Up until a few months ago there was a back door app that would connect to MyQ (the Liftmaster garage door app) and Alexa. It allowed Alexa voice-control routines to open/close a Liftmaster garage door.
That 3rd party app went bankrupt and Liftmaster, hoping to sell their own home automation hub, continue to refuse full integration with Alexa. The odds of liftmaster displacing Alexa or Apple Home are less than zero, but Liftmaster is resolute.
I really like the automation of Alexa routines though so I mounted the circuit boards of two openers next to two switchbots. If you look closely you will see a small lever extend from the switchbot and press the opener.
Now when we tell Alexa we are leaving she turns on the garage lights, opens the garage door and then 3 minutes later she turns off all the lights, locks the door and sets the alarm.
6月14日の午前4時頃(日本時間)から、Amazon Web Services(AWS)のクラウドサービスで障害が発生した。AWSによれば、障害が発生したのはUS-EAST-1リージョンだった。現在は復旧している。その影響でニューヨーク州の交通当局やAP通信のウェブサイトなどにも影響が出ていた。インターネットの障害追跡サイト「ダウンディテクター」によると、サービスにアクセスできないとの報告が一時1万2000件に上ったとされる。最初の障害報告から数時間後にAmazon側は大部分が復旧したと発表した(読売新聞、ロイター、ITmedia、Data Center Café)。
ロイターの報道によれば、アマゾン側話は障害の原因として、プログラムの実行を可能にするクラウドサービス「AWS Lambda」の容量管理サブシステムの異常が原因だったという。ITmediaの記事によると、今回の障害では、スマートホームデバイス「SwitchBot」やロボット掃除機の「ルンバ」、マクドナルドのアプリが正常に作動しないなどの報告も出ていた。SwitchBotデバイスの多くは、スマートフォンの専用アプリからBluetooth経由で直接操作できるが、インターネット接続が必要な一部機能に影響が出るとのこと。
