Adding myself to the list of people thankful for all you do for us here, @JDRoberts. Your story is inspiring and enheartening!
As usual, =P I have a question for ya. This one, however, is about how you type so efficiently. I believe you mentioned above that you utilize speech to text technology? My wife is having some issues with limited mobility and associated pain in her hands/wrists/elbows and she has a job that involves a LOT of typing. I’m trying to get her interested in speech to text but my limited knowledge of the latest technology in that area is not selling her. Do you have some special software that allows you to type so naturally? Any advice in this area would be greatly appreciated.
Again, thanks for the the endless source of info good sir!
These days I just use an iPad and its built in text to speech. It’s pretty good, not perfect. That’s why you often see me put up a post and then edit it three or four times as I go back through it for errors.
You’ll also notice that the capitalization in my posts is a little random. I don’t bother to correct those usually.
When I first got sick I used an IBM product which isn’t made anymore. Then I used Dragon for a while. But now I just use the built-in options in iOS.
Here’s how a person without functional arms uses a touchscreen. (This is a Wall Street journal article from October 2014.) You’ll see most people are all IOS, and the one person who has a Samsung phone mentions that many android apps are unusable for her–she has an iPad as her tablet.
BTW, in the US most health insurance will cover a couple of visits with an occupational therapist if your doctor refers you. Those are the people who can make recommendations about easier ways to do things physically, including writing on a computer. They can do in an evaluation and then make a custom recommendation. So if your wife has seen a doctor for the pain in her arms, she can just ask the doctor for a recommendation to an occupational therapist to review the best way for her to accomplish her work at the office.
(Although the title is “occupational therapist” it refers to any accommodations for dealing with the physical world. Tools and techniques for everything from getting out of bed to brushing your teeth to typing at work. They can be really helpful both in making current tasks easier and in helping to prevent additional damage.)
Your story is inspiring, @JDRoberts, thanks for sharing it. I have an old friend I’ve known for 40+ years who’s been blind since he was a baby. Over the years I’ve helped him with adaptations for ham radio and, more recently, his computer. The technology is different sometimes (he uses a screen reader, for example), yet similar. Like you, he is highly educated and very knowledgeable! Let me add my thanks, again, for all you do for this community!
Thanks @JDRoberts for the detailed info. I will definitely share this helpful info with my wife! We’re praying things settle down again and she can go back to normal routines. But if it is what we and the doctors are suspecting, there are bound to be ongoing flare ups.
I was directed to this thread through Reddit. You’re story is wonderful and really inspiring for me.
Quick introduction: My name is Stefan, almost 28, and I ‘‘suffer’’ from a disability called Spinal Muscular Atrophy. Because I have barely any function left in my arms, or most of my muscles for that matter, you can probably imagine how thrilled I am about voice control and home automation. But I’m not here to bore you with my life story so let’s talk automation.
There are a few things I would like to be able to do myself, without assistance. But, like I mentioned, I can barely use my arms and hands. All that is left is some mobility in my index finger and thumbs. With my disability being a progressive one, voice control is a must. Therefor I ordered a Google Home yesterday. This will become my starting point to complete independence!
Hopefully you can give me some pointers and/or help me avoid some beginner mistakes, haha! What I would like to accomplish:
Use TV / Blu-rayplayer / Radio etc.
Control lights
Turn on pc
Alarm/contact in case of need (been looking at AskMyBuddy)
See who is at the door
Maybe even open door(?)
As you can see it’s almost everything you have installed. I would really appreciated any suggestions or feedback you can give. Or anyone else as well of course
Which item(s) would be the logical next step? SmartThings hub and Harmony hub?
The harmony hub at this point is essential for control of audiovisual equipment unless you want to only use chromecast. That may change in the future, but for right now harmony is just a really good low-cost solution.
Voice Options
I personally have found the Amazon echo more useful than Google home, although I have tried both. I’d recommend that you do the same And just return the one that isn’t as useful for you. Best Buy carries both.
Right now, there are a lot more integrations available with Amazon, The $49 Dot is a great way to add additional units around the home, grouping options are much more precise, and The Google Home only has two microphones and it’s designed to be placed against the wall. The echo and Dot have nine microphones all the way around the unit, which let you place it anywhere in the room and it will be able to hear you from all sides. In fact, you can use only Dot if you want to, and just connect a speaker for any place where you’re going to use it to listen to music, news, and audiobooks. The dot’s own speaker is just fine for home automation commands, but it’s a little tinny for longer pieces.
I’m not saying don’t get the Google home but I am saying try both and see which one you like best.
Home Automation Control
At this point, although it’s disappointing to say so, I don’t recommend smartthings to anyone who really needs the home automation to be reliable. Since November 2015 I have yet to go nine days without the system requiring some kind of maintenance, and since I have to pay other people to do that, even just popping the batteries on a device, I just can’t afford It. Plus I need automation that works.
So personally, I have shifted all of my critical use cases to apple’s HomeKit. I have Lutron Caseta light switches, a Philips Hue bridge and some smart bulbs as well as their motion sensors, a couple of Elgato Eve sensors, some ConnectSense pocket sockets, and a smart lock.
The Lutron Caseta and the Phillips hue also work very well with echo so I actually do most of the voice control through Alexa, but I use HomeKit for scheduling and sensor triggers. It has many fewer features than a SmartThings based system, but it’s reliable and requires almost no maintenance. I have had to do firmware updates on the lock twice in 15 months, but honestly that’s been it. Everything else is as close to “set and forget” as I’ve seen.
Most of the people that I know who require accessibility features use iOS devices anyway, and HomeKit comes free on any of the newer iPhones and iPads, so that didn’t add extra cost for me.
If for whatever reasons you don’t want to use iOS devices, there are still other systems that are more reliable than SmartThings at this point. The company is very aware of the issue and have said that they want to improve in this area, but they just aren’t there yet.
It’s true that a lot of the maintenance is just simple fiddly stuff, like rebooting a device by taking the batteries out and putting them back in, or opening the app, changing the time by one minute and saving it again to get a rule working again. So a lot of people hardly even notice this requirement. But in my situation, I notice it a lot. So I ended up bumping reliability up higher on my requirements list than I did initially.
Seeing who’s at the door
If you have the ability to physically rotate your wrist about 20°, enough to trigger an Apple Watch, and you could afford an Apple Watch, then HomeKit will very soon offer the ability to get the Camera notifications on your wrist, which from my point of view is by far the most convenient. I have a tablet mounted on my wheelchair, so I could use pretty much any video doorbell or camera at the door, it’s just that it takes four or five interactions to open the camera view and see who’s actually there. It’s OK, I just want more. So I’m expecting that to be available within the next few months based on multiple company announcements.
I’m really looking forward to that one. But I don’t know yet whether you’ll be able to clear it by voice or whether you’ll have to touch the watch face with your nose or a knuckle. It just varies by app right now. So that’s useful for some people, not for everybody. Otherwise the tablet apps are fine, they just take longer.
Emergency Notifications/Communication
Don’t use SmartThings for this. At all. It’s just not reliable enough.
I have three separate systems set up, so I have redundancy.
First, again, is the Apple Watch. Really like this. I can do handsfree voice phone calls or voice text, again just by tilting my wrist. I don’t have to touch the watch but I do have to be able to Roll my arm enough to wake up the watch. This does not require lifting your arm up off the armrest. Just rolling it forward, although you don’t have to talk as loud if you can get your head closer to the watch when you’re speaking. I use this all the time, way more than I thought I would.
Second, if you have a mobile phone on the AT&T system, there’s an Alexa skill you can use to tell the echo to send a text for you. It’s OK, not perfect. But it’s a good example of one of those integrations that right now echo Has and google Home doesn’t. You can preprogram a fixed message and do that through IFTTT, so you can do it that way with either echo or Google home, but obviously it’s not as flexible.
AskMyBuddy uses preprogrammed messages, rather than actually sending a voice text. It’s a free service, which is nice, so it’s definitely worth trying, but if you do happen to have AT&T you get a lot more flexibility with their Alexa skill.
askMyBuddy:
Your Name Sent you an alert via AskMyBuddy.net, on Amazon Echo. This alert is sent only if this person has asked for help. Please check on them now. Once again, please check on Your Name, now! Thank you
The Att skill isn’t perfect, but it’s nice to be able to send an actual message, not something pre-formatted.
Third, I do use a panic button communicator Where if the button gets pressed I get two way voice communication with someone at the medical monitoring center who has a file with all my information in it. I’ve modified this slightly so that my service dog can push the button as well. This uses cellular monitoring, so it works whether I’m at home or away. It does have a $20 a month subscription fee, but I consider that well worth it.
Anyway, there are a lot of options for emergency notification systems, just again leave SmartThings out of the mix for now until the reliability improves.
Automatic Door (physically move the door, not just unlock)
I’ve looked at these, but don’t currently have any, because my service dog opens doors for me. There aren’t any that integrate directly with smartthings anyway, and I probably wouldn’t want to do it that way because of the reliability concerns. These need to have a lot of safety features so that they don’t smash you.
Drive medical has a unit at about $300 which is basically like a roomba with a slot tray that attaches to the door so it can pull the door or push it. It’s very very slow, but works OK for interior doors. There’s basically no installation required, you just Hang it on the door so the wheels touch the floor. It has an optional $30 one button remote.
For Exterior doors there are a lot of options, but one of the most popular low-cost brands is Skylink Otodor. They have a lot of different models. You can set that up with a motion sensor on the interior, but obviously you don’t want to do that for the exterior. They sell pushbutton remotes. These have more features than the drive medical unit and can work on more kinds of floors, but installation is considerably more complicated.
If you can’t do the push button for either of these, there is a “robot finger” microbot from Naran that you can add for $49, plus you need their $89 bridge (one Bridge can handle up to 40 micro bots) to give you IFTTT access and then you’re ready for all kinds of different integrations. Including echo or Google home.
So again, there are a lot of different ways to do this, and a lot of local companies that can install automatic doors for people using wheelchairs, so it mostly just comes down to budget. The more you can spend, the more elegant the solution will be.
Buttons
I have the ability to manipulate my power wheelchair to bump into a soft button on the wall. As it happens my knee height and my dog’s nose height are about the same. So we do enjoy using some of these buttons in addition to the voice option. Not everybody will be able to do that, and some people might want to put them down at toe height instead and bump them with your foot. It just depends on your own physicality and how you fit in the chair. But I did want to just mention that as yet another option. The Logitech POP buttons are big soft buttons that work well for this.
I’m not suggesting you get one as part of the starter set up, but if you find right away that you really wish you had a button, not just voice, it’s well worth considering. But not cheap. The starter pack with one bridge and two buttons is usually just under $100.
But these are soft rubbery big buttons, almost half the size of a smart phone, so they work really well for a knee or elbow push, or a dog’s nose. I just wanted to mention them because a lot of the other switches are hard plastic and just not suitable for this kind of purpose. Voice is great, but sometimes you want a quiet option that isn’t a motion sensor.
Where to Start
At this point I recommend you start with the harmony home hub, the Phillips hue starter kit with the plain white bulbs (it comes with 2 bulbs), one Philips Hue motion sensor, and your choice of either a dot or Google home.
Just those pieces will be enough to start trying out voice controlled home automation and seeing whether it’s something that might work well for you.
If your voice slurs at all (mine does) make sure you do the voice training that’s available through the Alexa app. It makes A big difference in the ability of the device to understand you.
If you happen to have an iOS phone or tablet, you can also try HomeKit with the Phillips hue bridge. Like I said, I use both HomeKit and Alexa.
So that’s where I would start. Just the harmony is great, but having the lights and motion sensor as well give you more of a sense of the possibilities.
The harmony is a little tedious to get set up. It’s obvious what to do, they just take you through a lot of screens to get all your channels set up and everything. The physical device itself is easy, you just plug it in to power, it communicates wirelessly with both your Wi-Fi network and your AV devices. But the app is just tiring to get set up. It will be worth it, though!
The Phillips hue app is better for both the lights and the motion sensor.
Setting up the echo/dot is a breeze.
So just with those pieces you’ll have enough to play around with for a couple of weeks and get a sense of whether it’s going to be practical for you or not. Then you can start planning bigger projects!
well, those are just my first thoughts. As always, different things work for different people, and you might end up with a very different selection of devices than I would. And my main helper is my service dog, who can’t swap out the batteries in a sensor. If you have 24/7 human aides, you may be willing to put up with more unreliability in order to get fancier features. Choice is good.
Let me know if there’s anything specific I can answer.
That is really disappointing to read. I wonder if that is representative of the typical experience. I love the potential of the platform, but it’s difficult to justify investing much in it if the stability still isn’t there. Would you say that the issues are typically platform issues or things outside of the platform (i.e., Internet being flaky)?
I originally wrote a long response to this, but then realized I don’t want to turn this particular thread into a discussion of stability issues. There are already lots of threads about that in the forums. I’d like to keep this thread specifically to discuss low-cost home automation and accessibility. (Or a phase by phase approach to home automation investment.)
So instead, I’d encourage taking any follow ups on Platform reliability to one of the current threads, such as the following:
Thanks a lot for your detailed response! I can absolutely continue on from here.
Let me walk, or actually roll, through some of your suggestions per topic.
Voice Options
I understand your idea of trying both the Alexa and Google Home. Like I said I already ordered the GH which will hopefully arrive sometime this weekend. The reason I went with the GH is because I use an Android phone, make use of almost every google app and like that it is hooked up to the google search engine. Furthermore, as I am from The Netherlands, I am hoping it will eventually support the Dutch language.
So for now it is the GH but if it doesn’t work out I know the Alexa is a good alternative.
Home Automation
This is going to be a tricky one. As you point out SmartThings isn’t the most reliable choice but, like I said a few lines ago, I am using Android on my phone. The Galaxy S7 to be exact. The reason for this is the fact that I use my wheelchair’s joystick to operate my phone via a bluetooth mouse module. As far as I know Apple does not support mousing, unless you jailbreak it. So it isn’t possible for me to use Apple products at this time. This means no Homekit I’m afraid.
Do you know of any other systems I could take a look at?
Doors
Unfortunately I am unable to move my arms or wrists. When I need to change the way my arms are positioned I need help. So the Apple or any smart watch is out of the option.
I do however have my phone mounted on my chair so I should probably go that route. Do you still use the Kuna lantern? Or would you recommend a different light or doorbell?
I have an automatic swing door by Besam, looks a lot like your Skylink example. This work with an IR remote which I can’t use anymore. It would be nice if I can load this into the Harmony hub and control the door that way.
Now what?
When the GH arrives I am first going to tinker with that. Try AskMyBuddy to see how that goes for example. I’ve found that with IFTTT, Join and Tasker I should be able to turn/off on my pc via voice. Which would be great!
After that the Harmony and Hue will be next, as well as an outdoor camera or bell.
Thanks again for all your hlep and I’ll keep you posted!
I do still use the Kuna lantern and I like it a lot, but it doesn’t integrate with SmartThings in any way. And I don’t know if it’s available in Europe. But there are a lot of other options for cameras and video doorbells. Again, anything with an IFTTT channel could be integrated with Google Home, Alexa, or smartthings as all three of those have their own IFTTT channel/services. But they may be only limited features. You just have to check each channel.
For me, one of the most important things was that I be able to activate the camera at any time. Some of the video doorBells, for example, only get activated once when the motion detector triggers, you can’t check again later.
Joystick with ipad
As far as using the wheelchair joystick with an iPad or iPhone, you can definitely do that without jailbreaking the device, but it’s done differently than attaching a mouse. Most power wheelchairs have a port for “environmental controls” for exactly this purpose. Apple puts this whole topic under “switch control” in their accessibility options.
Just as an example (I don’t know if this particular unit is available in Europe), the $349 tecla shield is very popular with wheelchair users in the United States and Canada. This is a small device which communicates wirelessly with the iPad and let you connect your wheelchair’s environmental control port to it. Then you just select switch control from the iPad’s regular accessibility options and you can use your joystick to select items on the iPad screen. Unlike android, this will work with almost any app under iOS because it is part of the operating system.
The video on this page shows how the connections are made, and they even sell a separate joystick if you want to set one up to use in bed or somewhere else where you might not have your wheelchair.
Obviously, voice will be more convenient for most people, but as an accessibility option a joystick can definitely be used with Apple products, although it may require a bridge device.
IR Remote
Just about anything with an IR remote can be used with harmony. It takes a little getting used to, because you have to first set up an activity in harmony that does exactly what you want. Then you can get voice control of the activity.
Harmony has recently added a second skill to echo which now gives voice control of volume, on/off, play, and pause, regardless of the activity you are in, just like it was a button press. That is a really nice feature. I don’t think that’s available with Google home yet, except for chromecast. But I expect it will arrive eventually.
The new skill for echo is the “red skill” in the following table:
Android and Tasker and Sharptools
Tasker definitely gives you a lot of options with android, and people used to use that as a voice solution. There is a third-party app you could also add called sharptools which works specifically with SmartThings to bridge between Tasker and SmartThings. That was actually the first way that voice control was demonstrated for SmartThings about two years ago before the echo came out. It might be worth looking into as well, although I think that once you have Google home you’ll be able to use that app on your phone as well, I’m not quite sure how all that works now.
Just wanted to say really good and detailed post, I hadn’t seen this previously, I was thinking the other day how Alexa and ST would make a really good cheaper alternative to many of the other systems available as I was writing code to voice control my Roku via Alexa / ST!
@JDRoberts
I find this extremely interesting and educating to read!! I am amazed at the thought process you have and the ability to achieve everything, my hat comes off to you!
I only clicked to find out about combining some home automation devices into a single app and have learned so much more, also spent money on alot more equipment than I’d anticipated - for that my wife does not thank you!
However my aim is to automate things for comfort and as a hobby more than anything else, and this has given me a drive to do so!
I am very sorry to hear of your disability, however after reading it sounds like you are inspiring alot of people with your ingenious suggestions and solutions…
I shall keep an eye on this forum for future updates and suggestions, I wish you luck with the future phases and look forward to hearing about them!!
2019 Update, Stage 2 (Wall switches, some HVAC, a few upgrades, and a voice-activated microwave). Budget $2,000, Spent $1,800
Everything from phase 1 is pretty much the same since the last time I wrote. I did add fire TV sticks ($30 each) in two rooms because I watch Prime Video a lot and it has better control of prime video.
So phase 1 covered the smart lock, table lamps in 8 rooms, video doorbell, TV control through Logitech harmony, smart watch, Voice assistant (Echo). Budget: $1500, Spent just about that including the smart watch. Had voice control of everything plus a couple of sensors and buttons.
For phase 2 lighting, I added 4 Lutron Caseta wall switches, a Lutron SmartBridge to run the switches, and 2 more HomeKit-compatible Sensors. Plus two standalone Lutron Maestro occupancy switches, One for the laundry room and one for the utility closet. (Those don’t integrate with anything else, but they don’t need to, and they only cost $25 each.) We got everything on sale at various times, so total expenses there were under $400.
For budget reasons, we did not put Lutron switches in the rooms I don’t go into very often, because my housemates didn’t care. There is at least one table lamp with a voice controllable bulb in each room, but those were from phase 1.
I spent another $150 or so on Phillips hue sensors and switches, which work very well with HomeKit.
Both echo and HomeKit have continued to add more features, particularly for setting up simple routines, and I use those.
I didn’t do anything with the major appliances, but I did get a $60 Amazon basics microwave which works with echo, and it’s been really great. It has a nice handle on the door which is much easier for me to use than buttons, and I don’t need to touch the buttons at all because I can just use echo for that part.
Our phase 2 also included Some HVAC equipment. We got a small window air-conditioner ($250) for my room and a ceiling fan with lights ($300 on sale) for the tv room that can be each controlled with Echo. The fan also works with HomeKit. And we added an ecobee lite thermostat ($170 on sale) for the heating system that works with both. Again, we can only set up simple rules for these, but they have all been reliable with excellent voice control. So just under $1,000 with installation for the HVAC items.
I haven’t gotten anything really frivolous, i’m still using the same phone and watch, and we didn’t end up automating every switch and every outlet in every room. But I have a lot more independence than when I started and phase 2 brought the HVAC controls, Which have saved us some money because now I can adjust them as needed instead of just leaving them to run all day. I do like being able to turn the overhead lights and the yard lights on as well as the table lamps. (The Lutron switches are great!) And we stayed on budget.
I keep hoping that SmartThings will reach an MFOP of at least six months so I can start using it again, but so far it hasn’t.
2020 and Beyond
I’ll probably start shopping for phase 3 on Black Friday this year, looking towards some automated window shades, a couple of cameras, and automated sprinkler controls. But right now we’re waiting on the manufacturers to bring new products to market, in particular the IKEA window shades. So I haven’t budgeted for that yet, because I’m not sure what’s even going to be available.
Phase 4 if we get that far would be automated door openers on 3 doors, not just locks, but that’s a ways away.
Oh, I should add that I have always had a completely separate security system with a separate budget. Because I would need assistance to evacuate in case of a fire, I want my security system to be really solid. So I chose a purposebuilt system for that, and pay a monthly fee. It’s not fancy, but I am literally trusting it with my life, and there are no inexpensive home automation systems that I would do that with right now.
On the other hand, the echo has become better and better at doing intercom and phone calls and my Apple Watch, which can even be worn in the shower, can do phone calls and text messages, so I no longer have to wear a separate medical alert button. So that’s been a bonus set of features from my Home Automation system that I wasn’t expecting to get when I started all this. It’s still my Plan B for life safety emergencies, but it’s a Plan B I didn’t have before.
I should also add that I’ve only managed to keep to my budget by being very patient and waiting for the big sales: Amazon prime day in the summer, Black Friday (which these days usually means all of November), watching prices very closely between Thanksgiving and the Super Bowl.
(I keep hoping for good smart home deals at Labor Day, Presidents’ Day, and Memorial Day, when there are often good appliance and HVAC deals, but so far I’ve been better off waiting for the other sales days I mentioned. This is where camel Camel camel can be really helpful.)
I resist impulse buys of new products, and only buy from places with good returns policies.
I also keep a close eye on the deals category in this forum.
WOW!
I use Smartthings for 1 or 2 years and only now i found your testimonial when i was searching for something that hasn’t nothing to do with any of what you described (“very good search Francisco; keep going…” ) but i have to say: it was a pleasure to read; you are an example!
Things are pretty much the same basics as my last update, although we’ve added additional devices.
We did the phase 3 plan of adding automated window coverings (SwitchBot curtain bots), more cameras, and b-hyve sprinkler controls.
Also added an Olide automatic door opener, which I’m really happy with. It was more expensive than I had originally planned for, about $1200 installed, so I ended up putting it on only one door, but since all our yards interconnect, that’s enough.
The core is Alexa for voice control, Fire TV cube for home theater control, Apple Home for anything that has to be local and reliable, and still some SmartThings stuff.
Matter has given me more device candidates for use with Apple Home, which is nice. For example, I use the SwitchBot hub 2 to bring in my SwitchBot buttons and curtainbots.
I use an Aqara matter bridge to bring Zigbee sensors into SmartThings and they are much more reliable that way.
My family gave me a voice controlled Delta faucet for my birthday two years ago, and it’s been great, because until then I had to push the handles on the faucet with a wooden spoon since I couldn’t reach them from the wheelchair. I probably wouldn’t have gotten it for myself, but I’m really happy to have it. (It was about $500 from Home Depot, so still cheaper than replacing the sink with something wheelchair accessible.)
I added a sunbeam connected heated mattress pad that works with Alexa routines, and it’s also been really nice.
If I can get new devices that work with matter, that means they’ll work with Apple home, Alexa, and SmartThings out of the box, and that definitely makes my life easier. That’s not always an option, but it is the first thing I look for to see if it’s available.
I have a new housemate since my last report who doesn’t like to use voice, so we have added some additional switches and buttons, mostly ones that work with the Hue Bridge.
Apple Home has improved every year in terms of device selection and the kind of rules you can create with it. And the price of individual devices that work with it continue to come down. First Meross, then aqara, and now the selection of matter compatible.
So all in all, I would say everything has just gotten better since my last report. Filled in a few more gaps, Updated a few things. Stayed within my budget. Nothing dramatic, but I’m happy with it.
Can’t remember if I’ve discussed budget in this thread or if that’s a different thread, but anyway now I budget everything, even hubs, for an expected replacement cycle of three years, pretty much the same as a mobile phone. So I budget for $150 a month to cover everything. If I get to the end of three years and I want to keep using a device, that’s great: it just means more money in the budget for shiny new stuff.
I’m not sure if people are still interested in equipment lists or not. We live in an 1800 square-foot home, single-story, typical American suburban construction, and are three adult housemates.
If anyone is interested in seeing a full equipment list for our current core setup, just this post and I’ll do one. But I’ve already covered the basics above, so it may not be necessary, since every household’s needs will be a little different…
Ok, give me a day or two and I’ll put up the phase 1-4 equipment list.
I don’t have a specific plan for phase 5. I’d like to add an automatic gate opener and an automatic sliding glass door opener, but so far both are way outside my price range.
So I’m expecting that to be available within the next few months based on multiple company announcements.
) but i have to say: it was a pleasure to read; you are an example!
this post and I’ll do one. But I’ve already covered the basics above, so it may not be necessary, since every household’s needs will be a little different…
