We are gradually becoming a smart(er) house. There’s the Google device upstairs, the Sonos One\/Spotify thing downstairs, the light thing over there (points), the other light thing over there (points), and the voice-activated stuff in the car. Now the latest smart thing to arrive in the house is a tracker. It didn’t cost us anything, we bought a new phone direct from Samsung and they gave us the tracker as a thank you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was tempted to attach it to our roving spaniel and let him loose in the field, but a tracker wouldn’t help keep him safe. I don’t need to attach it to the non-roving spaniel. It would just tell me she’s upstairs in bed or the other side of the dogflap waiting for us to go into the garden to throw the ball for her. I considered attaching it to our roving cat – the one who frequently disappears for weeks on end – but although it’s a small device, it’s too large to hang it around a cat’s neck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So it’s attached to the Ninja. I suppose I’d better start using it a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Still won’t have a smart meter in the house though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
