So I got a knock on my door today and it was a company called clear result. I live in a development and they were saying they’re from Meted (Electric company in the area) and they are installing more energy, efficient lightbulbs in the houses, giving out nightlights, and installing power strips. They even attempted to open my door and had one of the maintenance men unlock the door for them but waited to enter. After being worn down and getting a call from the property manager to allow them in, I only let them change my iridescent lightbulbs on the first floor to their LED provided, but I also let them put in this power strip that they claimed was a sensor to turn the TV off automatically after a certain amount of time. Now I immediately took this power strip and replaced it with my original but my questions is really, what kind of government or private company overstep is this? This isn’t really housing it’s a regular development and they’re doing every single house and this scares me for soooo many reasons. I just wanted some like minded people’s opinions. Like how is that not a camera?! Sensor my @$$!!!

I wouldn’t even have let them change the lightbulbs…
Hello, I’m from Clear Result and we found this post. Please do not unplug or remove the devices, it could create dangerous conditions and/or an UNclear result. Thank you and please go about your day normally.
Also would like to mention the one that plugged my power strip into their new one as if that’s not a fire hazard in and of itself 😒
Those auto shut off things piss me off, but not nearly as much as some pushy asshole trying to come into my house by turning the knob when I haven’t opened it myself.
Idk where you live, but around here, that could easily get someone killed by projectile.
I wouldn’t trust any of that stuff, especially if the entire neighborhood hadn’t been given written notice ahead of time.
My phone was bugged way back in the 90s by a real phone company employee who also hid illegal bugs for the cops. I told him that I hadn’t contacted the phone company and he said it had to do with the neighbor’s phone upstairs. I stupidly let him in. Didn’t put two and two together for a long time, well after I moved out of that apartment.
Certainly a waste of taxpayer money paying crews to come out, unless it’s thinly veiled FBI surveillance. Certainly attempted breaking and entering. I’d have called the police.
