Studied Smartthings some more. I'm convinced it would be less complicated to skip Smartthings for the IR and only use the Alexa to Openhab bridge for the IR Arduino. Went to Quickpass at the airport and picked up a transponder and also made an initial $20 account deposit. The thing needs 24 hours to activate so it won't be available tomorrow if I drive to Sarasota tomorrow. I may go down on Thursday or possibly go down half way tomorrow. My review was accepted at TER and now I have a free account for 2 weeks. I also canceled the Texture account yesterday and they offered my 4 months of Texture for $5 a month. I went for the offer it was such a good deal.
Dinner tonight was a flatout bread wrap with eggplant, onion, zucchini and parmesan-mozarella cheeses. This is very good. Afterwards we went to Brewsters and got two waffle cones. During this afternoon I tied up the tomato and pepper plants. For some reason 1 box of zinnia plants is dying. There were nice banana peppers on the pepper plants. I had my first pepper BLT of the season for lunch. It was yummy.
I was pleasantly surprised looking at the portfolio values after the disastrous Brexit vote which caused markets to drop. The individual and IRA protfolios hit new all time highs today.
