    You could then just set the timer to 2:15h. Still much easier than setting up “smart” tech. It’s like when a buddy of mine spent much money and put quite a bit of work into achieving that his smart light bulb lights up when he’s nearing the apartment door whereas I just screw in a bulb with an integrated movement sensor that achieves exactly the same thing without pairing, sending out gigabytes of data from spying on me, and costing loads of money.

      That’s really on a person by person basis. I’m a software engineer, and have already automated a lot of aspects of my life, so adding another device and a new automation took me like 10 minutes to setup.
