My entire smart home decided to have a meltdown on the same day my internet went out.
It was last Tuesday. The router blinked off at 9 AM, and suddenly my 'smart' lights wouldn't turn off, the thermostat defaulted to 85 degrees, and my robot vacuum started beeping an error code from the middle of the living room. I spent 45 minutes on hold with my ISP while sweating in my own house. It made me realize how fragile all these connected gadgets are when the one thing they all depend on just quits. Has anyone else had a cascade failure like this? What's your backup plan for when the internet dies?

85 degrees?! That's brutal.

Yeah, that's just miserable to deal with (and I'm not even a fan of winter). It really saps your energy to do anything at all. Hope you've got some good AC.
