She couldve planted that herself to make livestream more interesting with some sentimental drama.
Interesting that your first thought upon reading something like this is that it could have been faked, complete with reason. I think that says more about you than that it does about the person described in the story.

I have a (mostly) DYI smart-home, I mean, DYI as in "a Frankenstein of vendors and devices glued together by Zigbee, MQTT and Home Assistant", with some hard-deps on it in a couple of rooms and that gave me some bad nights when thinking about "what if I sell the home one day?" but reading the threads here I feel reassured: they will probably just rip it away and put some low-tech solution and call it a day.
Is it possible to rip off the devices and use it at your new location?
I will probably create this as a wiki or github for my home with markdown files. Thanks for the inspiration. Cheers!
For example, the fridge will continue to run on its UPS for another 18 hours. After that, items to be saved need to be moved to a portable fridge and plugged into the 12 volt outlet of the electric car.

Maybe consider not questioning motives or disposition ? My first thought was that it was staged. The lack of critical thinking in todays world is appalling and enables the exploitation of the vulnerable.

Talking about preferences I hate motion sensor lights I usually rather to walk in dark and get my eyes used to darkness. I still turn on lights when I get to bathroom or I get a glass of water in the end but somehow it feels better if I turn it on at the destination. Other thing is I hade all kinds of status LEDs - it is just insane with the bright ones. I know it is nice for quick troubleshooting during the day to k…
I use electrical tape to tape over bright LEDs, especially ones in the bedroom. The light generally will still be visible and you can add layers to get the brightness you desire. The tape also comes in many colors so you can match the device you are fixing.
This didn’t happen to me but to a friend. She lives in an old home and has a neverending list of projects, many of which she took up during the pandemic. She would often livestream her rehab at nights just to connect to people as she worked. One night she was streaming the teardown of a bathroom wall. There, in between the walls, was a clipboard with some notes. She slowly took the clipboard up and started reading. O…
My uncle lives in an old house in Lodi. He took down some kitchen walls for a major remodel. Somehow, a bunch of letters from the 1920s had slipped between the cracks and got stuck in the wall. It was a bunch of heartwarming, innocent correspondence between the family members now living in California and the ones who stayed back in Oklahoma (or somewhere like that). Uncle chokes up every time he reads those letters.
