Oh it's not as bad as your making it. My water sensors were only about $20 - $30 shipped and I mean if you're going to make an order you might as well get that $30 z wave extender so the fence gate sensors I spent $40 on have good coverage. I pair those with about $100 in temperature and humidity sensors for the attic, garage and freezers. I mean I needed to justify the SDR I picked up for like $45 you know. My $20 garage opener has also made life that much simpler. Wait how much have I spent already?
Heh infrastructure from 150 years ago is vastly different than infrastructure today. 150 years ago you didn't have buried electricity lines, telecom lines and fiber, robust water and sewage solutions. Those things need regular service and replacement. If your population goes down that means your revenue to pay for those things go down as well.
Fairly certain I've had both versions working on our steam deck. It's pretty straight forward like you're saying.
Watched a video on them a week or two ago and they had the Principal talking about how they had two separate contracts for them. Sounded like they're both employed as individual employees.
Same with stuff that needs to be frozen or refrigerated. Makes it that much easier to put things away when you're back home.
