About

I translate hidden fees, power choices, and storage tradeoffs into realistic monthly and annual totals for renters, homeowners, and shop owners.

Background

My aunt nearly canceled her doorbell after the third surprise cloud fee hike. I rebuilt her setup with local storage and a basic plan, then tracked two winters of battery buys and subscription renewals. Her total fell by half, and she stopped dreading the monthly email with the new ‘promo’ price.

Perspective

I down-rank gear that requires subscriptions for basic usefulness or event history.
