LED Solar Lights

 These: https://amzn.to/3FoGFQQ which I have mounted in my 20x20 dog pen. They light the whole thing up brightly, and I've tested them after about 11 hours and they were still bright. I also have these on my fence lining my driveway. https://amzn.to/3tskRRQ

My choice for a Plex client

 I've been using the streambar for the last 3 years.   https://amzn.to/3kLaJBw I can highly recommend it, especially paired with a subwoofer https://amzn.to/4l2wA1U and the satellite speakers for full surround sound https://amzn.to/41VD3o1

Silly Suit Cases

Using a analog doorbell with a Reolink WiFi Doorbell

 I wired this 433mhz receiver in, and paired the doorbell(s) to it. One to each channel, and wired the two chimes to the different channels. https://amzn.to/4eC2nDa DieseRC DC 12V 24V 30V Secure Remote Control Switch Universal Wireless 433Mhz rf 10A Relay Receiver Board I followed the directions to repair the keyfob, and substituted the ReoLink Doorbell. Been working since October 2023. My only complaint is that it "holds" the button down a long time (5 seconds?), but I can live with that. I also made sure i had a high power transformer (30VA) to meet the power needs. https://amzn.to/3XGABjm Maxdot Doorbell Transformer 16V 30VA.

Gen 3 Toyota Tundra (2022, 2023, 2024, 2025) Remote Starters

Everyone hates the Gen3 tundra requires a subscription for the APP to remote start. First and Foremost. You don't have to use the app. You can press the "Lock" button on the key fob 3 times, and hold down the button on the 3rd time for about 5 seconds. Your lights will flash a few times and the truck will start and run for 10 minutes. It is limited to the range of the Key fob, which isn't great. As for aftermarket, I have not used either of these, but I found them 2 weeks ago for another thread. StartX https://amzn.to/3PRHfxX MPC https://amzn.to/4arhMVQ Here is an MPC kit with the extra long range remotes https://amzn.to/40raPPR Both of these use the factory key fob out of the box. They have optional Cell Plan add ons, so you can do a remote start via an APP. They also have replacement key fobs available that give you farther range.
