    Watch those new meters, serious complaints from many about the meters over calculating the usage.

    Go to eyeonwater.com or .org and you can get
    Live data from your meter. Live being about 24hour delay.

    That doesn't mean "stairs are bad" nor does it make someone who pushes someone down the stairs any less of an asshole.

    I've handled a claim where the city shut down the water due to them detecting a leak through the standard meter before. Granted this was during winter when the water bill was 4 times higher than usual. Someone from the city came knocking and when no one answered and the house appeared abandoned they shut the water off at the street. You can imagine how pleased the landlord was to arrive back in the country after a month and walk into that mess.

    Long story short, the city CAN discover a leak and turn your water off for you, but probably after about a month too late, and only if it's winter, and you'll still have a huge water bill.

    smartthings starter package is on sale this week. $50 off the $250 price ($199 now). Decent deal if you want the included components. Amazon, smartthings website, I assume pretty much everywhere. The hub itself is still $99 but there are a couple deals out there if you just want the hub.

    Hm I haven't tried that one - looks nice, I might have to pick up a couple.

    Looks like it was down to $15 last week. Man I would have bought a bunch of them then.

    Does anyone on here have their garage controlled by a WiFi app? My wife is super paranoid about leaving the garage door open (thank goodness) and something like that would be just the thing she needs. I thought I remember someone on here had one.

    You can buy them that do it. I think mine does it but I've never bothered to set it up

    Do you mean buy a WiFi enabled opener from the get go,as opposed to retrofitting a current opener? I'll be going the retrofit direction.
