Skip to primary content. Skip to secondary content. I bought a Smart-me Plug. About a year ago. Here some thoughts:. Setup was very simple and straight-forward. The app looks a bit outdated – definitely no Material design. Especially the graphs could be a lot nicer (interaction, zooming, filtering). The temperature sensor worked initially – but after a couple of months showed values with an offset (e.g. 13 C instead of 20 C). I got the unit replaced in the end. Running Apps & Services.

When trying to install sun-java6-jdk on a Debian server (Lenny), I noticed that it automatically installs libnss-mdns as well as avahi-daemon. I’ve got no idea why it would do that as Avahi. Is the free implementation of Apple’s zeroconf which allows automatic detection of local network devices.
