    You should make an automation that will let your kids leave a message. This would show up as a mail icon on your stream deck that you could press and listen to the messages when you had free time. This would also help if your kids forget what they want to tell you.

    I was thinking a video doorbell. You can get apartment kits for many that allow them to be installed temporarily, then program the button. A press just sends a flag to the streamdeck, a press and hold begins recording. If they press the button and it sends the flag, then you know they need attention. Press and hold let's them "share secrets" or tell you something they think you need to know.

    Thanks! Usually smart devices that use a lot of bandwidth (cameras uploading to the cloud) are the main culprits. You will probably be fine with that router. Once you start getting way past 100 devices and your router is needing to be re-booted every week, then you will know it's time to upgrade the router.
