I've been having problems with my devices, though. The reliability sucks, they lock up all the time.

Additionally, the OLED screen needs to shut down in the dark. I added a VEML lithgt sensor to my devices for that.

The light strip they added to the new devices is fun. You get a free nightlight too.

Interesting. I have been running three of their devices of different generations in my house for several years now with no hangs.

No idea why. I tried to change the power supply, and even slightly overvolt the power (to 6V from nominal 5V).

I haven't had any issues with lock-ups.

The LEDs and screens can be adjusted (or turned off) on a schedule with the latest firmware.
