Adding smart features to objects that don't need em is the most "Damn, who asked?" thing about modern times.
its the new way to get people to upgrade appliances because they think its better. once you replace a built to last for life appliance with a built to break in 5-10 your in the customer/repair database for life.
I remember we used to make jokes about this when I was a kid... figured it would be mostly pointless to make your home smart.
The one thing I've always said and I will keep on continue to say it: Things that aren't originally "smartified" in some way, shape, or form should never and I mean NEVER should be turned into a "smart device".
@@Suzuki_Hiakura I mean, tbf. It is mostly pointless to make your home "smart". The "smarthome" industry is such a cluster fk of a mess that it's not even funny, nor sad. It's just infuriating, even as an outsider.
Especially when those devices lack an on/off button. Even if it is something you may want to control remotely, why tf would you remove the on/off button??? "Oh boy, I sure love having to fish out my smartphone and take the time to navigate it when I want to turn this device on when I'm right next to it!" says nobody.

"Nobody's going to hack it because it's just a water heater" is exactly the mentality that hackers will notice and *exploit.*

i just wanted to buy a Nintendo Gamecube for less than $80 so i bought a broken one for $40 after watching Ross’ older repair videos.
A microscope, a hot air station, and soldering station, and DIY fumigator, and a multimeter later and my room is filled with 20 broken gamecubes in the fix queue 🤷
i am obsessed, thanks Ross
Another option is to get a Nintendo Wii which also plays GameCube games. I've been using it to play MVP baseball 2005, offline single player all day
That's so cool to hear! Happy you got the console you wanted and lifelong gratification knowing you fixed it yourself
I hope the DIY fumigator is decent, aside from health issues the smell of burnt old electronics can stay in your nose for days.

I hated HOAs so much that I moved to the middle of the woods where there aren't even building permits.
Yep. I will NEVER live in an HOA. Ever. I'll live in a tent first.

No building permits sounds like Atlantis. A utopia that doesn't exist.
Unrestricted property outside town. I own some, it's a thing. Texas, but varies between states. Look out for city creeping out to annex. Good local real estate agent or attorney, at least a consultation.
I moved to the middle of an industrial area where there are only 3 houses and they predate the town by about 50 years or more. There are building permits but no electrical or plumbing permits/inspection. And because I'm in an industrial area, I can use power tools whenever or as much as I want even in the middle of the night and nobody will complain.
"How do you know I had a late breakfast?" "Your toaster tweeted about it."
I love all my “dumb” devices, especially the mechanical ones that can be fixed with simple parts vs the two that require replacement “assemblies” when their electronic parts die.
i was forced to buy one of those. I hooked a scope to every sensor and monitored the dishwasher. board ever dies, it gets an arduino to fix it. If a button dies, I'll add an IC2 connection so I can send a button was pushed signal.
They need to make devices fiber so I don't broadcast any EMF noise as well.
This is why I love my iPods. No smart tech in them at all, no wifi connection; all within my control. I own them, not the other way around
@@ambiarock590 - Most smart devices don't require a WiFi or internet connection to operate. When my mother needed a bigger TV because her eyesight was getting worse, getting a non-smart TV was nigh impossible (and would have cost more if I could have found one).

That was a scene in the decades-old horror movie entitled _Pulse._ Not the newer one that has nothing to do with it, but the older movie in which electricity was behaving like some villain looking to harm people. Of course those old retro water heaters likely were not even capable of heating that fast, having a big tank of water, but why let that stand in the way of scary scenes in a horror movie?
Maybe the more likely scenario is that you can't get your water above luke-warm due to the latest enviro-wacko "climate emergency" BS.

Conveniently, electric kettles are apparently not an uncommon cause of house fires either.
I'm fed up with tech we don't neither want, nor need. I don't care if I run out of rutabagas and I sure as hell don't need my fridge to remind me of it.
To me our pursuit of convenience has gone too far. Why do I need to pay tons of money to have a fridge that reminds me when I'm out of something? Being able to handle inconveniences is a good thing and I don't need tons of devices to handle every single issue
@@ambiarock590 They arent even providing convenience anymore, Its just abuse now
It isn't for anybody's own good or convenience.. it is for monitoring, the tyrrannical surveillance state.
Contrived problems, so companies can offer contrived solutions, so they can siphon more money away from us. That's all it is.
The end goal is for large corporations and government to have complete control over every facet of their lives . Our politicians who live like gluttonous kings will lecture you on how you're destroying the planet by taking a ten minute hot shower every day, and they'll be able to control it with tech like this. They want to create a population that's too miserable and demoralized and has too much of a slave mentality to fight back.
As a plumber, and Rinnai tech, I can confirm the wifi thing. However, in my experience thus far, it's been 100% optional, BUT they hide that detail deep in the install manual to discourage "cave-man" mode. I've also come across it on pellet wood stoves. A pellet wood stove, used in a remote mountain retreat cabin, no cell service and no satellite internet, i sarcastically say "where there is superb internet...."
Currently shopping for a replacement window air conditioner. Guy in the store could not understand my major requirement being: it MUST not be a "smart" device. Why in gods name do you need an air conditioner that is connected to the internet? It's bizarre. And every single one that is "dumb" is also cheaper, so it's a bonus.
So it can be controlled remotely (such as when on the road or at work). Back before I retired, I had more than one occasion where I needed to turn on or off the A/C depending on the weather. Thermostats only regulate temperature, they don't anticipate it. Also, schedules can change. Someone might have their A/C temp set high while away from home, and want to adjust it back to normal if returning home earlier than expected, or might have it set to normal, but will be greatly delayed and want to bump it up high.
If you don't have see a need for one, that's fine, but not everyone is you. Before I had smart units, I controlled mine with energy monitoring smart plugs. (Part of the reason for energy monitoring was to try and avoid shutting them down while the compressor was running).
*So that for homes lacking "smart-connected meters" your electric company may turn your HVAC off at their discretion, not yours. With the 3-letter agencies approval, of course.*
I remember how stunned was the guy that tried to sell me smart lightbulbs. I told him that I need dumb lightbulbs, controlled by switch, not by router. It seemed like it was out of mental ability to understand. He looked like me, when I tried to understand quantum physics, you know? "Yeah, I can understand some of those words, but together they make no sense at all" face.
I happily took "dumb" LED lightbulbs, they work (they don't have adjustable color, but... I don't really mind) and they last years. That is all what I want from a lightbulb. Light.
@@simonspacek3670 - One place I found a smart light (or actually a smart socket) useful is in my dining room. That is because my home has the kitchen counter and dining room lights on the same switch, and I rarely need the dining room light on. I made certain I got a smart socket that preserved the last power state (rather than defaulting to "on" when power is first applied, as is often the default for smart lighting devices). That now means I can keep that dining light off, but still turn it on when necessary.
It also came with a nice remote that is powered by the kinetic energy of pressing the button instead of a battery.
I tried a similar setup for a second light in my bathroom, but unfortunately, that fixture turned out to be a "default to on" type.😥
@@blackrifle6736 - With a smart meter, the choice would be your whole home or nothing.
Remotely controllable central A/C compressor cut-outs were thing well before smart devices existed. Electric companies typically offered some type of credit to get people to let them be installed. If there were any localities that ever made that type of device mandatory, I haven't heard or read about it.

20-30 years ago, I wondered why home automation was rare. 5 years ago, I wondered why so much home automation was appearing. Now the answer is clear: Because the way it was done 20-30 years ago didn't give manufacturers a way to screw you over like they can now.
this is not home automation, period.
Home automation is under your, the owners, control and connected to the controller, not the internet, the controller being connected to the internet is not a good idea either, at least use a vpn for that.
but for that you'd need a static ip, or a service which i don't recommend either.

You do not need upgraded plumbing. Just a pressure-balanced valve, so that when the pressure of the cold water drops, it compensates by adjusting the hot water flow to match.
Why do people want to keep going in the direction towards the dystopia of cyber punk? It's like they want to pay a rental fee for everything they have dispite buying it at full price and having to pay all repair fees if it's repairable at all.
I get the doomed feeling for society at large in not only this area of life.
Remember the days when you used to wait to let a repairman in your home to service and/or diagnose your water heater? You had to open the door to invite them in, like vampires. Now the water heater itself syphons your data perpetually, like a vampire, only it has its foot in the door at all times.

The idea of vampiric appliances is really funny. What can we do with it?
Far as I can tell, "Smart" tech is just bad. The designers don't seem to care AT ALL if the item works properly. They also make sure contacting a real human being is nearly impossible. They KNOW people want to complain, so they make it as hard and time consuming as possible. I want my nokia flip phone back! And there IS a reason for all this: GREED. And as a long time AT&T customer, I'd be completely insane to hook ANY kind of essential service to their internet. 15 yrs of dropouts and "cannot connect to the internet" for 5-10 minutes EVERY TIME IT RAINS teaches me to do without the internet quite often.
the only innovation left is innovating new subscriptions.
When I see "smart" on anything I see it as a disposable product.
When the server goes away, or when the company decides "It's out of date!" You have to buy another product.
They sell smart tech as a convenience, but it won't last. I just replaced a 1995 water heater in my home, if I bought a smart water heater will that work in 30 years? No way.

I bought a late 90's car. cost me under $1000. Did an engine rebuild on it. Cost me about $4000. Now I have a car with no dumb tech that will last the rest of my life and it only cost me $5000. Car is cheap to run and very little can break down on it, because it just doesn't have the nonsense modern cars come with.
A car for under $1000, huh? What world are you in?
@@quietreader4190you gotta know how to turn a wrench at those prices
apphanrlt those kinda cars now only go up in value, bought my escape for 2500, its now with 6500 as a resale. No wifi installed.
@quietreader4190 $1000 is pretty reasonable for a used car from the 1990s with 150,000-200,000 miles.
That's why I plan on keeping my 2007 Ranger that I paid $600 for lmao
What do you think sets AMS120X apart from other projects? It seems to be dominating discussions lately
A colleague was playing with some connected lights. They could be setup in a way that when you receive an app 'light on' or 'light off'. And that turns the light on/off. So anyone that has you on WhatsApp/your number, and knows that command can turn on/off your lights willynilly. Brilliant SW engineering.... He turned that function off right quick...
A water heater is something you almost never adjust settings on except maybe when you first move in to a place, so having a dial that requires physically changing makes the most sense. I've never even heard of anyone adjusting it after moving in somewhere.
Same. This is just plain bizarre.
For my tank water heater I'll turn the heat down when I'm on vacation away from the house. That's it though.
@@divinecomedian2 - Is there is a reason you don't turn if off completely when away?
One reason I could see for this is if one has a small tank, but sometimes needs more hot water. The way to do that with an undersize tank is to crank up the temperature (thereby mixing a smaller quantity of hotter water). One wouldn't want to run it at that temperature all the time, however. For a tankless water heater, changing the temp uses less energy than mixing hot water with cold to lower the temperature.
@@divinecomedian2
On the old gas water heaters, all you had to do was walk over to the heater and turn the temperature knob to Vacation. Apparently that was just too simple. Had to make it complicated.
Thank you so much for this...I am a plumbing contractor and have hated this feature for a long time. It began as a sells gimmick, and now its just garbage. This going to become another way that they can deny warranties.
I remember when insurance companies were offering reduced rates if the installed a monitoring system in your car. Now their colluding with gm.
I am sure that AMS120X will go 100x just like you said
As someone who has recently been flashing 'smart' devices to make them local only, or even creating my own devices, I love adding smart features to devices that don't really need it, just because I can.
I certainly don't consider a device that needs to connect to someone else's server to be smart, though.

It gets way worse than that. There are millions of 'smart' switches, plugs, lights etc. that are getting OTA updates from their manufacturers in China, who in turn are fully controlled by the CCP. If they wanted, they could covertly update all the devices to turn on at a specific time and cause a massive blackout, if not worse. Not to mention all those robotic vacuums, gardeners, etc. that come with a hefty battery and who are one OTA FW update away from disabling their over-charge protection to cause millions of home fires...

One of the most important channels on CZcams. Keep your work up
Always separate your home network into two: one for internet-connected devices and another for offline devices. Unfortunately, most ISP-provided routers don't support this. Consider upgrading to a router that allows multiple networks or VLANs.
Most IoT devices will also work fine in network isolation mode (where devices can only see the internet, not other devices on the network). The guest network on some routers operate in that mode by default.
I mentioned this story here multiple times, but I will do it again. Some years ago I was a tech support for one company in US. And I got a call from a guy who needed to set his home printer to print some documents (it was common thing, usually that was 10-15 minutes call with everything). He unpacked the printer, turned it on and there the fun began. First of all, I told him NOT to connect it to Wi-Fi, because it will not communicate with his computer, when the computer is on VPN (we didn't have split). Cool, no problem. Connected by cable. First error - "cannot install driver without Wi-Fi connection". Fine, let's connect to Wi-Fi. It connected, we installed driver, all good. Print test page... and nothing. Printer showed message that it cannot print, because it is not configured on all devices connected to that network. Easy, let's disconnect it from Wi-Fi. No, cannot print, not connected to Wi-Fi. So, he decided to enable it on all other devices (he had to print something that day). So, his personal laptop. His phone. Family tablet. Wife's phone and work laptop. Their daughter's phone and laptop. And the printer said "no, not everything connected" again. At least it showed him what wasn't connected. Some Samsung device. He was confused, because he had no phone or TV from Samsung. Samsung "model_number" not connected to printer. One quick Google search revealed that it was their fridge. That printer was refusing to print, because it was not connected to a fridge.
He said that he enabled it, printed those few papers he needed and packed that printer back in the box.
I like having smart features. I don't like being forced to use them.
Exactly! This is why Louis likes to call them anti-features (like the cloud in some cases)
Yes. I don't have any "smart" things, but I like what they can do.
I feel the same about smart TVs. the ability (if you want to use it) to steam youtube videos for example without the need for external devices is great to have. If they just added a switch to it that made it A dumb TV I would be more than happy to buy A smart TV.
Yeah, my LG washing machine supports steam and many other programs, but only through an app. And the LG app doesn't want to connect to the washing machine, it always fails... -_-

It's easy to 'punk' your neighbours if they have wi-fi connected devices. You simply set up a router with the same ssid and mac address, but with a different password (not hard if you don't know the neighbours). Switching it on will cause random failures as the devices get confused. They then get charged for call-outs to fix something that isn't broken. Just use discretion to avoid being caught.
Only problem is that once the neighbors turn off their wifi, they're going to be extremely curious about why their Internet is still on.
@@stavinaircaeruleum2275 It never connects as the passwords won't match unless you somehow manage to guess it by accident (highly unlikely), but it causes devices to disconnect; or it did last time I tried it - I used a card in promiscuous mode to monitor connections, and saw them all drop (network file server in offices across the street, just as a test for a few minutes).
Joke's on them, i'm off grid with a fully analog solar water heater, and if there's no sun i got a big pot and a stove or fireplace.

@rustymustard7798 it's getting to the point you can't just skip it. If your TV breaks your only option is a new smart TV or digging through used TVs to find one that is not a smart TV. The same is getting true for refrigerators and garagedoor openers. I built a new house in 2021 and I had to go out of my way to find a non-smart non-program able thermostat.

Friendly reminder to change your water heater anode rod 🙂
Never mind the gas bill, they could boil the water in the pipes and then burn the house down.
Unless it allows setting the thermostat outside of normal limits, that won't happen anymore than if someone physically accessed the water heater and turned the temp up to the max (typically 160F, which is still far below boiling).
There are multiple fail-safes on all modern water heaters.
@@MattyEngland If their entire API is wide open, then who knows what can be done? Assuming it would fail-safe is just an assumption.

Becoming an electrician and network tech so I can be aggressively technophobic while creating offline device networks. My dream is a home AI that can be run from a server in the basement
What's next? A Wi-Fi controlled massager with a zero day for Louis Rossman?
Windows Recall with a zero day...
Already exists....

Aww that's wonderful. What a nice gift!!

Waiting for the adult toy connected to the internet
My apartment complex installed smart locks, thermostats, and public wi-fi in my apartment without my consent, then raised my rent for it 🤣 It's currently storming in my area, and my smarthome app is telling me it can't adjust my air conditioning or unlock my front door because the power is fluctuating. Yes, I can do it manually, but it's yet another reason why I didn't want this. I love tech, I build computers for fun, but this is wild 🤣
It's an unwanted escape room.
Mine tried, I ripped it all and put back the old stuff. Never said a thing to me.
Your landlord, who owns the building, had these things installed. It has nothing to do with your.. consent. You certainly don't need to consent to something that isn't yours. It's not your building, you rent it. Save up, buy your own place, and install whatever hardware you desire.
@SirenaSpades oh for sure, I agree with you. It mostly amused me, though, because they clearly have no clue what they're doing. I can access all of my neighbors' devices through the community internet, and someone is sending out viruses through it regularly 🤣 I was more commenting on the fact that this is how everything is headed, unfortunately. I miss the "good old days" of losing my keys 🤣
@@SirenaSpades Fundamentally, unwanted 'smart devices' are equivalent to unwanted CCTV/surveillance cameras inside your home.
It's not 'better' just because it's not piped directly into the Landlord's spank station. Renting or not, that's not okay, at all.
Sadly, our courts are so purposefully backwards, I doubt that precedent will be set anytime soon.
But Y tho?
If only Canada had this for the truckers. Forget freezing bank accounts, freezing showers is the ultimate punishment.
Yet there are some people that purposely take cold showers.
@@lonniemcclure4538 and there are people that vote for Trudeau. People do dumb sh!t. What’s your point?
@@AlexSmith-gr4hp - My point was there would be some people that wouldn't be bothered by it, so it falls short of the "ultimate punishment".
Basically, for some, it would be the "Joke's On You, I'm Into That Shit" internet meme.
Something tells me they will be replacing that water heater in 3 months because the fancy heating thing breaks
My friend bought a new water heater. Not even a year old. Pilot went out. Replaced the pilot, thermostat broke, it shot water out into his back yard because it was over filling. Finally, they replaced it with a pilot from an old water heater with turn dials instead of that digital shit. Works great now. Electronics ruin shit
You sound as if you've never had a mechanical thermostat fail. If so, your experience is not mine. In contrast, I have yet to have an electronic one fail. Both of us together still don't provide enough data points to prove one is worse than the other.
