We put 2 strands of warm white LEDs on the corn plant today and removed the strand of cool white leds. I went over to Lowes and picked up another smart things outlet. We now have three outlets on the back porch. I was able to make a smart things group by making a virtual switch inside smart things which Alexa recognized. The group of 3 trees can now be turned on and off via voice. "Alexa turn on the porch trees", etc. I evaluated Imperihome today for home automation but instead decided on using Home Assistant on a Raspberry Pi.
I went to Home Depot and used my 10% off coupon and bought a battery operated impact wrench to help with the trailer hitch. Unfortunately it didn't work out. I don't have enough 1/2 inch extensions for my impact sockets. I also do not have any metric sockets, only a set of standard ones. I used the manual ratchet to remove the bolts and then used a hydraulic jack to jack up the hitch assembly so I could bolt it in place. The job went well. Later in the evening I ordered a keyless chuck adapter for a half inch drive so i can use the impact wrench as a drill or driver. Drill bits or driver bits for deck screws could be used in the chuck giving me two tools for the deck next year instead of changing back and froth from drill bit to driver bit. Dinner was the bacon and chicken wrap sandwich wrap again from Cooking Light. Libbie is still under the weather with a bad cough and cold.
