You're not wrong, but just hear me out, though. So here it is. I go to Amazon. I'm like, this is going to be freaking great. And I don't remember what the cost was, but it was under $100, which, granted, for a Switch is a lot of, well, you can get a $3 dumb Switch, and so $100 is a lot of money for a Switch, but this would be perfect. But it sold out. So I said, okay, fine.

I'll go to the actual HomeSeer website. I will buy one. No, it sold out there, too. So, apparently, I cannot get one of these, and I'm really sad about it, even though I think you're right, John, that ultimately the permitting process would deny me. What was it? With prejudice? Thank you. There it is.

I don't know that it would. It's been lightly discussed, but the thought of having an automatically updatable calendar was met with enthusiasm because... I think I've talked about this in the past.

I print, at the beginning of the month, a physical calendar and put it on the kitchen, or excuse me, on the refrigerator, just because I like, both of us actually, like having a vague notion of what we're doing, and we can always write stuff on there if we want. The system of record is 100% our shared Apple calendar, but having a glanceable thing in the kitchen is kind of nice.

Now, I don't think we'll be mounting the terminal on the refrigerator, although I guess we technically could since it's battery-powered. I don't know. We'll see what happens when we get there, but... But one way or another, this is irrelevant because I can't put my hands on one of these Homes here, HSWX300s. Then a ton of people recommended the Innovelli Smart Dimmer.

And in fact, people are recommending that in the chat right now. This is way more popular in terms of the number of recommendations I got. However, it's not exactly what I want. It's close, but it's not exactly there. And it does have a light, like an LED light bar on the side of it. It's a switch with a light bar on the side as opposed to individual LEDs.

And it wasn't until, well, Drew Stevens, who is the same one who recommended the homes here, recommended this as well. And then David Minima pointed out to me, no, no, no. Yes, it's presented as one LED bar, but there's actually several addressable LEDs in there. But the thing of it is, is that they're all in like one shroud or lens or what have you.

So I don't really love this, although a lot of people reached out and said the novella is very, very good. So we'll see what happens. Again, the Historical Commission, I think, has opinions about this. And naturally, I want to appease the Historical Commission.
