Bought a cheap knock-off door lock sensor kit online. Wasted $120 and a whole Saturday morning.

I used to think that was silly, but @danielm15 is right about the time tax on cheap tech.

My buddy had the same thing happen with a smart plug set. Spent like two hours trying to get the app to connect, and it just never saw the devices. He ended up throwing the whole box in a drawer out of pure frustration. Honestly feels like that cheap tech is just a total time tax on top of the money. You're better off waiting for a name brand to go on sale, even if it costs a bit more up front.

Man, that stings. @martin.tyler, is the "time tax" really worth it just to save a few bucks up front?
