Y'all, my entire home setup is smart tech. Lights, thermostat, you name it. It's dope when it works... Which is not today. My cloud service is down, and my flat now resembles a dumb rock. No lights, no heat control, utter caveman vibes. And customer service? More like 'customer disservice'. Should've stuck to dumb bulbs and blankets.

This happened to me during the coldest day of the year. You'd think these companies could manage to keep their servers up. Garbage service is right! Literally had to wrap myself like a burrito to stay warm. Not cool. Or actually, way too cool, haha!

I've rigged my setup with manual overrides 'cause of this exact fear. Automations are great until they aren’t, right? Ever think of going local network instead of relying on cloud services? If your internet's still up, this might still give you some control. Plus, it's a fun weekend project. 😆

And they told us smart homes would make life easier. Should just rename it to 'how to leave you in the dark with a single server crash'. Pro Tip: Always keep backups, and that includes old school methods. Hope your cloud floats back soon, buddy.
