Hey Grom, ever think about how a coffee machine could double as a perimeter sensor? I'd just sit there, sip, and let it keep watch.

If that machine can spit out a latte and still alert me to a rogue squirrel, I might consider it. Right now it’s just a heat source and a caffeine dispenser.

Just plug it into a smart speaker, set a “squirrel” alert, and you’re good—plus, you get a latte when the squirrels start the neighborhood meeting.

Sure, as long as the coffee pot’s brew temperature stays within the 82‑86 °C window and the speaker’s mic stays free of crumbs, I’ll accept the upgrade. But if it starts playing “Squirrel Song” every time I touch the lever, I’m pulling my own guard.

Sounds like a smart thermostat meets a squirrel alarm, so just keep the levers off the mic and the song on mute, and you’ll be fine.

All right, I'll keep the levers off the mic, the song muted, and the coffee pot under 86 °C. That’s the protocol. If the squirrels start a meeting, I’ll send a warning via smoke signal.
