   FYI: you should upgrade to 10gbe if your network is slow. It isn't that expensive these days: https://ben3d.ca/blog/home-network-lessons

   Congrats BetterAuth! It was the system I was considering before I rolled my own auth system around the passwordless concepts of: OPT + Passkeys + Google login. It is quite nice and simple and I've ported it to 3 separate projects now just via LLM: https://ben3d.ca/blog/passwordless-login-system If you are building a user system with a database already, adding passwordless auth is easy.

    There is one in the EcoBee Premium and we use it to automatically drive our HRV (heat recovery ventilation.). It is better to have it in the HVAC system than in your phone anyhow: https://ben3d.ca/blog/upgrading-hvac-control
