They released a compliance car (BZ4x) built with Subaru. From what I've read it sucks and essentially just performs the same function as the PT Cruiser and Chevy HHR did back in the day. I'm sure this'll be retained for the future when they have a proper lineup of EVs though.

Guess what, bud, you can power basically anything with electricity too. Electricity even powers hydrogen vehicles!

Hydrogen has the same benefit as batteries, just minus any mining to begin with.

Hydrogen is currently produced from natural gas which is mined from the earth.

BEVs are the result of huge subsidies. They are not really in demand by most people. A lot of this debate is within a cluster of out-of-touch rich people.

Obviously written by someone with very little knowledge of the topic. Every form of fuel is subsidized whether that be fossil fuels, electric, or hydrogen. How about, at the very least, you take two seconds to Google things before you speak of them.

I'd bet 0% of the people you're 'debating' with have any issue with hydrogen vehicle development. Everyone is taking issue with you and your ridiculous, uninformed comments.

If your goal is to solve climate change then why are you spending all this energy bickering about how you think hydrogen cars are better than EVs? Everyone driving a hydrogen car isn't going to solve climate change.

Massive repair bills like you would have with an ICE engine and transmission or hydrogen fuel cell. Turns out vehicles, regardless of what they're powered with, are expensive to fix.

In reality, the future will be hydrogen cars,

In what reality? They've been developing these for years and haven't made much headway. Fossil fuels are finite while lithium batteries can be recycled over and over. What exactly is unsustainable about them?

Sorry, but no amount of lying to yourself will make BEVs a viable technology

If they aren't a viable technology, then how are there millions of them on the road currently?

Have you not heard of flooding?

This is basic stuff, I don't know why people don't get this.

Perhaps it's the other way around?

Why not list even a single one of these incredible achievements?

I'll bet they didn't want to create the acronym without the N so they just found a fifth company to throw in there.

First they'll cancel Prodigy and then next thing you know they might cancel TNG or DS9. It's a slippery slope!

So you recently watched the movie instead?

What about other people who don't drive cars or will never use police or fire services? Their tax money is paying for things they won't (but you will) use too. Driving a car is a choice.

Furthermore, your 'developing land for public use" comment is off-base too considering your local government will likely build roads and other infrastructure to said property paid for with tax money. So once again, other people are paying for services that benefit you.

Finally, if you're unwilling to pay for education, does that mean you are willing to pay more for jails and prisons? That's likely where a generation of kids who don't receive an education will end up. Do you think your tax money is better invested there and do you think jails will produce more productive members of society than school would?

Seems odd to put individual external drives into a RAID array.

No since this isn't currently a covered condition so these people wouldn't be eligible for this completely voluntary program currently.

I'll have to dive into again now that I have an idea of devices to look into. It's definitely possible that I just don't have things configured correctly.

Thanks for the reply. The Relish player looks like a good candidate though for the price I can try out the Ikea Sonos Bookshelf speaker mentioned in the other reply integrated with HA like you suggested. It might even be perfect to set it up with a scene controller like this provided I can get the Spotify/Spotcast integrations working properly.

Can you not just use the HomeKit integration directly in HA? I don't have any Wyze devices but I have several (like TVs) that have added themselves to Home Assistant via the HomeKit integration.

Don't skip out on Z-wave too. They're typically more expensive devices, but they use less power and are more reliable. You'll obviously need a separate Z-wave transmitter/receiver but they're under $30. You might also buy a couple USB extension cables so you can move both the Zigbee and Z-wave transmitters away from the ports since with some setups you can run into signal interference from the ports themselves.

Thanks for the recommendation! If I were to queue up the playlist and leave the speaker on, it'd stay on that playlist and be available at any time? That sounds perfect for what I need.

It's not so much of a hassle as it is a danger and I don't think places like Circle K or your local corner store should be penalized for selling a perfectly legal product nor should their untrained employees be forced to handle potentially dangerous materials. If anything, the manufacturers of these products should be penalized and forced to come up with a solution to the problem.
