About an $1,800 kitchen faucet that doesnt interface with Alexa properly.

Im liable to take the faucet and beat him with it til his legs dont work any more. The disconnect here may as well be the Grand Canyon and im Evel Knievel.

    Moen makes a device that is internet powered.

    It ties in to your incoming 3/4"-1" distribution line where it enters the house… puts usage stats on a nice pretty dashboart, and also contains a shut off to kill the house feed on the off chance you are not home and spring a leak.

    IIRC there are active security exploits for it if one were so inclined.

    Every day, further from the light. Or whatever.

      As an engineer who works with lots of data, I have so much disdain for “dashboards.” Execs spent the last 10-15 years demanding pretty pictures and numbers on a single screen, of which they comprehend very little. Now they wanna shove all that data into an AI so they don’t even have to pretend to look at it. God forbid they ask their employees in the field for their analysis.

      I feel most dashboards can be replaced by a single message to the project manager: “yo is shit fucked today?” “nah” “ok cool”
