Ask HN: Keep track of home devices that need updates?
How do you keep track of your home devices that need software updates/patches? Devices such as: router, modem, camera, IoT stuff, etc.
I feel like there should be a central place to know about them and know if there is an update i need to run.

Automatically repeating todos in Things.app, that have a link to the manufacturer's web page where they list BIOS/Firmware updates. The todos are set to repeat 2 months after they were last completed.
Ubiquiti networking gear surfaces updates in their controller software and gives you one click upgrades. However it lacks a notification service other than subscribing to their forums, would be useful if it was built in.
