I have a RoboRock S4 Max. It lives under my bed. It struggles with all the cat toys. I do so much cleanup so that it can run, it often feels like I'm not even saving effort. Also my house has a stupid layout, so it feels fairly expensive to purchase for 2.5 rooms and not even have a mopping feature.

• Is it easier or harder to find Valetudo compatible devices, and flash them?
• Are they better at mopping?
• Are they better at not smearing pet poop?
• Are they better at not messing up rugs? Mine dumps cat hair on the bath mats
• Are they getting cheaper or is it still a crazy luxury to have one for each floor?

I have a 5gal corny keg that I plan on only using for bubbly water. I am very lazy and want to have flavor already in the keg, so that any random guest can come over and serve themselves something equivalent to La Croix without having to think about it at all, let alone measure things out or deal with fresh juice going bad. I want to frontload all the effort at the filling stage.

We all drink tons and tons of cans of carbonated, flavored, zero calorie water. We don't need sweetener.

What brands and products are worth looking into, for flavoring an entire 5 gal keg at a time?

I'm not concerned with doors being left open, or else I would just use contact sensors. I want to see what temps different fridge settings go to and how much variance in temp there is across the day.

I don't have BT set up with HA and I don't want something proprietary like Yolink which requires the cloud and a hub. I definitely am not drilling a hole in any of my appliances. And I'm too old and lame to build my own devices.

So what are my best options? Are there super thin ribbon devices that slip under the door insulation? Are there wifi/ZB/ZW devices that don't suck?

I swear I used to have one when I first bought it, but after some updates and switching apps it's gone. I'd be happy to install one if that's an option.

TicWatch 5 running WearOS 4.0. Weather is stuck at 30F and 40% phone battery. I've tried multiple watch faces.

The wife goes to serve it and it sounded too Russian for me to even spell it.

Maybe I'm too old to learn new things but it doesn't seem to ever do what I want.

Say you have 1,000,000 automations, so manually searching is not feasible. You have a notification group which includes your newest phone. But you didn't always have this notification group, and you used to call notify.my_phone_2019. It's now the year 2100 and you know you have several automations still pointing to notify.my_phone_2019 rather than notify.notification_group (which currently has my_phone_2100 in it).

How can you go about finding these outdated references? The phone was burnt in a fire from the WWIII bombings, and the device no longer appears in HA. But references to it still litter your automations.
