LED Solar Lights

 These: https://amzn.to/3FoGFQQ which I have mounted in my 20x20 dog pen. They light the whole thing up brightly, and I've tested them after about 11 hours and they were still bright. I also have these on my fence lining my driveway. https://amzn.to/3tskRRQ

My choice for a Plex client

 I've been using the streambar for the last 3 years.   https://amzn.to/3kLaJBw I can highly recommend it, especially paired with a subwoofer https://amzn.to/4l2wA1U and the satellite speakers for full surround sound https://amzn.to/41VD3o1

Silly Suit Cases

 Ever walk through the airport, and wish you could ride? You mean this? https://amzn.to/3PQsA6J Personally I saw this a few days ago https://amzn.to/3xuyvrE  and didn't think it was horrible

Using a analog doorbell with a Reolink WiFi Doorbell

 I wired this 433mhz receiver in, and paired the doorbell(s) to it. One to each channel, and wired the two chimes to the different channels. https://amzn.to/4eC2nDa DieseRC DC 12V 24V 30V Secure Remote Control Switch Universal Wireless 433Mhz rf 10A Relay Receiver Board I followed the directions to repair the keyfob, and substituted the ReoLink Doorbell. Been working since October 2023. My only complaint is that it "holds" the button down a long time (5 seconds?), but I can live with that. I also made sure i had a high power transformer (30VA) to meet the power needs. https://amzn.to/3XGABjm Maxdot Doorbell Transformer 16V 30VA.

Gen 3 Toyota Tundra (2022, 2023, 2024, 2025) Remote Starters

Everyone hates the Gen3 tundra requires a subscription for the APP to remote start. First and Foremost. You don't have to use the app. You can press the "Lock" button on the key fob 3 times, and hold down the button on the 3rd time for about 5 seconds. Your lights will flash a few times and the truck will start and run for 10 minutes. It is limited to the range of the Key fob, which isn't great. As for aftermarket, I have not used either of these, but I found them 2 weeks ago for another thread. StartX https://amzn.to/3PRHfxX MPC https://amzn.to/4arhMVQ Here is an MPC kit with the extra long range remotes https://amzn.to/40raPPR Both of these use the factory key fob out of the box. They have optional Cell Plan add ons, so you can do a remote start via an APP. They also have replacement key fobs available that give you farther range.

Toyota Tundra Wireless Chargers

The wireless charger in the Gen 3 Toyota Tundra's leave a lot to be desired.  The phone either has to be in the exact perfect spot, or you have to remove your case. Here are some 3rd party one's that seem to work better: This one seems to become popular DiffCar® OEM Wireless Charger for Toyota Tundra 2024 2023 2022   It plugs into the dash cup on top of the Navigation Screen. https://amzn.to/3X6QIWa Some people just buy a 3rd party charger and 3M tape it to the wall, and use a magsafe case https://amzn.to/4kg9jbY This is most people's current favorite.   Slee Off-road's Dual Wireless Qi Phone Charger.  It replaces the stock location with an upgraded charger. https://sleeoffroad.com/products/tytun-chrgr-sq/   also offered by BeatSonic https://www.beatsonicusa.com/products/nsv-dual-wireless-10-watt-qi-phone-charger-for-2022-toyota-tundra-2023-toyota-sequoia Video on how to install it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrLyXmE3tyY EEF had the original c...
