Just bought a house from \~1905, walls are plaster. 5 rooms have this brick facade glued up. When I rip it off it pops the painted layer off the plaster. I haven’t pulled down 3 of the 5 walls yet. Anyone with experience, what would you do to return these walls to normal after removing facade? Don’t hold back, give me materials, tools, methods, safety concerns, anything. I’m willing to pay for the right tools and materials to do this correctly. Thx

I have a smart button in my kids room. I want this button to turn the light on and off between 5am and 5pm, but I want the button to NOT turn the light on between 5pm and 5am. I thought the time-based settings in the screenshot would work, but the light turns on like normal even during the evening setting. Why is this happening? Any ideas on how to achieve my desire of button not turning light on during certain time?

I just set up a new bulb and smart button in my son’s room. I set up an automation on the smart button that prevents the button from turning on the light during the night (he has been waking up to read in the middle of the night). However, I’m worried that he will be able to bypass this automation by flipping the normal light switch. Basically I want the bulb to always default to “off” when power is restored. I think the answer might be on this screenshot. I tried “custom” but it doesn’t allow “off” as an option. How can I make sure the light doesn’t activate during the night? Without doing something nuclear like removing the wall switch.
