Did that and it did insert well enough to charge, but there was still something in there it was loose and had to wiggle it to get it to start charging. Didn't want to be the one responsible for messing up the contacts ie they break it, they fix it. Besides I wanted to look at the apple watches since I can see better now. Before my surgeries I couldn't read anything on the watches. Now I can even read the tiny Day/Date on my current watch. I can read them now so need to decide if the functionality is worth getting one.

Also thinking about updating my old iPad Mini. It's a first generation mini and getting a little long in the tooth. One of the new ones with a pen might be nice. Also considering updating my AppleTV for the siri thing, but waiting to see what I can do with the mini I am using for Kodi and see if siri on MacOS update this fall lets me control it.

I also think it would be fun to go nuts with the home automations stuff. But they keep changing protocols and devices around and just what can be controlled with what. Would be really neat to have a central system to control everything with voice commands and sensors to have it know where you are so you could have lighting follow you around the house.

One of the basic things I would like to automate is my outside lights. Right now my garage and porch lights come on at dusk and off a dawn. I turn them off if I remember when I go to bed and the idea is to turn them back on again before dusk so they can auto on. Sometimes forget to turn them back on and don't realize it until I go or look out after dusk. Would be nice to have them come on a dusk and shut off at midnight and be able to override. Just a timer on the light switches would work.
