I got a Level Lock Plus from the Best Buy deal for Christmas, and finally got around to installing it around late Feb (my older house had smaller holes that I had to drill out to fit.) The original Duracell CR2 battery that came with it just died which means I got about 6 months of battery life, which is about what I was expecting based on the published specs.

FWIW, I have had the Connect wifi bridge connected for about 3 of those months now, and use touch to lock at 1min. Everything else is default or turned off. I didn’t get the Matter firmware update as I didn’t know about it or the expiration date until it was too late, if it wasn’t already too late for that purchase anyway.

It’s pollen season in the PNW and the cedar trees especially have been dumping their love dust all over my vehicles. Wash mitts are fine for body panels, but don’t really get in the cracks and crevices and nooks and crannies very well. What’s your preferred tool or method to get into the creases and panel gaps and places where body trim meets paint, etc, where pollen tends to collect?

Is there a recommended medium-to-long bristle, paint safe, scrubber brush I can use to get into there? Power washing helps too, but sometimes you need a bit more direct contact agitation if there have been a few cycles of pollen and rain.

I’m looking to update my home network and want to move to Ubiquiti. My current setup is an Xfinity modem, connected to an older 802.11ac router with a gigabit switch, connected directly to my WFH computer and some smart home hubs and a PiHole. But my router is struggling with the number of devices on my network (lots of smart home/IoT,) plus I now have a few WiFi 7 devices and Xfinity recently bumped my internet speed up to 2gb, which I can’t currently take advantage of.

My thought is to replace my old router with a UDR7, and depending on how well its WiFi reaches, I might need an extender or two to get coverage on the currently weak coverage areas of my home. My problem is that my house

Shouldn’t that be 3:30pm Sunday, the start of Super Bowl LX?

It’s not in EST (why would it,) which would be 6:30pm, or even UTC which would be 1:30pm.

My Battery Cam Pro battery doesn’t appear to be able to charge anymore. The cam and battery are only about 18 months old, and the battery has only been charged three times. The six month battery life is good, but the 18 month battery lifespan is not. This time the charging light came on but after a week and multiple charging attempts, in camera, usb-c directly, different cords, different 2A+ chargers, the battery life only dwindled from 7% to now 0%.

Did I get a dud? Any hacks to get it charging again? Are there any aftermarket replacements worth mentioning?

I was hoping the BCP might go on sale again for prime day, but now I’m debating if I should invest in another cam and its quest

I got a Battery Cam Pro almost a year ago. I’ve been pretty happy with the cam and the battery life, getting 4-6 months of life between charges. Yesterday it was down under 10% so I brought the battery inside to charge via the USB port.

After 6 hours the Charging light was still lit, but not the Full light. I had to switch to charge my phone (which this charger can do in about an hour.) I plugged it back in this morning and it’s probably been charging for another 6 hours but still isn’t reporting full.

How long does it take you to charge your Battery Cam Pro battery? After a few charges, does it still show Full or do you just assume it’s good enough after X hours?

Maybe a spy/action/thriller type movie, probably from the 90s or early 2000s, and contemporary, not sci-fi. The protagonist is going through a security line, like at an airport, or maybe at a courthouse. He is trying to avoid attracting scrutiny to himself, or maybe is trying to sneak something through the x-ray machine or metal detector. As a distraction, he starts obnoxiously talking to the person in front of him in line and manages to slap a bumper-sticker like sticker or two onto the person's briefcase. Maybe the sticker was advertising the protagonist’s fake cover business or something like that, but it was innocuous text or images. Maybe like a tech company?
