Andrew Hale: IT Talk & Other Topics

I bought the MyQ kit for my garage door. Then I returned it. While making my garage door "smart" isn't my highest priority, the MyQ kit had a few pros on paper. 

As the title suggests, I'm installing the Ring Alarm + Retrofit kit in my new-construction home. All of the guides I found online for installing the Retrofit kit were about moving zones from your old alarm panel. Being a new house, there is no existing panel to start with, so I wanted to document my install in hopes that it helps someone else.
