jong commented on [Back Order] OXO Good Grips Tongs, 16-Inch Length, Stainless Steel $17 + Delivery ($0 with Prime/ $59 Spend) @ Amazon AU
I think Aldi had these the other month, and nobody bought them, and so there was a pile of them at my local the other month.

I haven't seen any such complaints, and have about six LIFX lights. Are you sure it's not your WiFi dropping out?

These work with Home Assistant (once you add them to your wifi network).

I've tried this stuff; it's awful, although not as bad as their pre-mix cola. It tastes like my mate's first attempt at All-Bran whisky.

They make decent kindling for starting BBQs after you've used them. Give 'em a quick rinse, then leave them somewhere to dry.

Aldi had these about a month back, but I think they were nearer $3 - so that's a good price.

It's claiming it still has 64 minutes runtime left, as of this second. I would expect it to notice if the battery was dead.
