Threw $60 at a fancy smart water shutoff valve last month
Spent way too long installing it, now the app keeps saying 'offline' and I'm pretty sure I could have just turned the manual one for free. Anyone else get burned by smart home stuff that just adds more headaches?

Ditched mine for a simple timer valve, zero issues since.

Wait, did your fancy valve come with a free lesson in patience and regret? I spent $40 on a smart plug once that was supposed to turn my coffee maker on, and instead it just blinks red at me like it's judging my morning routine. I feel your pain man, nothing like paying extra for more headaches and an app that ghosts you. I always think I'm being clever with tech upgrades, then I'm just staring at a box of wires wondering why I didn't just use my hand like a normal person. My buddy keith943 sounds smart sticking with the simple timer, maybe I should take notes instead of shopping for more stuff that'll let me down.
