It would add to the cost Not when that added functionality is included in the chip that does everything. 2. Where did they put the remote? Trivially fixed by having something you can put the remote in that is stuck to the wall in the kitchen. |

Senile Ozzie Troll Alert!
On Tue, 23 Oct 2018 03:09:30 +1100, cantankerous trolling senile geezer Rot
Speed blabbered, again: 1. It would add to the cost Not when that added functionality is included in the chip that does everything. 2. Where did they put the remote? Trivially fixed by having something you can put the remote in that is stuck to the wall in the kitchen. Senile Ozzietard has ALL the answers, AGAIN! LOL -- Sqwertz to Rot Speed: "This is just a hunch, but I'm betting you're kinda an argumentative asshole. MID: |

Additional cost stupid and uses quite a bit of valuable barrery power for wireless, but I guess you don't understand such things. well if they won't pay a few quid for a manual switch I doubt they'd pay much more for a remote control version, How odd that they do with the TV and DVD player etc. Nothing odd about it TVs cost far more than smoke alarms. Who spend £300 on a smoke alarm with a free remote ? |

A few peanuts here adn there soon mounts up. It's how some make a profit selling cheap stackign high, a few peanuts on the price of something can be the differnce between profit and loss. Do you know how much it cost to develop an app, of course you don't do you. stupid and uses quite a bit of valuable barrery power for wireless, Wrong, as always. Right as always . |
