We 3Rings

I was off the grid yesterday as I was back in Wales seeing how mum was after her fall. Dad's not a lot of use in, or out, of a crisis these days. If he wrote a weblog it would contain the same entry repeated every day indefinitely.

Hive announcing plans last week to expand from central heating control to sockets, bulbs and motion detectors reminded me of the 3rings plug which lets you know - via an inbuilt mobile phone - when an appliance hasn't been used for a while..

I might put it on their telly rather than the kettle but I think the idea is sound as a way of flagging that something might be going wrong.
