I thought smart breakers were just a gimmick until my boss put them in a 12-unit Reno job

We wired a whole apartment building with them last year, and I figured they'd be a headache to program. But being able to check each unit's load from my phone saved us three callbacks in the first month alone. One tenant kept tripping a circuit with a space heater, and we fixed it with a remote reset. Anyone else using these on bigger jobs now?

Man, I feel called out lol. I was totally in the "overpriced gadget" camp until a job proved me wrong.

Same thing happened to me last year on a site survey. My old laser measure died and I had to borrow a coworker's iPad with lidar. Finished the whole floor plan in like twenty minutes, something that would have taken half a day. Totally changed my mind about the tech being just for show.
