Seasonal power cord through 1/2in HWC

[DonyaQuick]

To update this thread (the first post of which is almost 3 years old now) on what I'm using these days for extension cords to heated waterers in my runs, I now use 3D-printed parts any time I need an extension cord to go through the HWC. I much prefer just having a cord with a little play in it passing through a material like HWC. I never really was happy with the amount of force I had to put on the plastic plug sometimes due to the bit of give/wiggle that's present in a large HWC panel.

And in a couple instances where I have needed to put a cord through wood or some other thick material, then I do still use one of the plastic plug-to-short-cord things I posted before, since they can be anchored very securely. I just didn't like how those held into HWC; really felt like it needed an adapter to hold well on that material and never got around to making one, but they do great through thicker materials very well.

The hub space app is so lacking. It won't show the plugs individually in alexa. So you can't just say "hey alexa turn on the kennel lights" because all it shows if the device itself. Instead of "kennel lights" and "coop lights". No you have to make a routine that says ""hey alexa turn on the kennel lights". I makes no sense.

I have to admit that I stubbornly refuse to speak to any technology in my home...except to potentially curse at it for malfunctioning lol. So the Alexa compatibility thing isn't one I've run into.
