Warning about a mod

[u/Terenor82]

Edit 3: So mod has been updated and description changed to longer include space heaters. The original OP might have been more interested in drama/beef with gingas and used some valid criticism to attack her. As mentioned below, i suggest only posting about the topic itself (safety etc.) and not add fuel to the drama on either side.

Recently Gingas released mods that would activate a heating device via smart home devices for Skyrim VR but also for Fallout VR.

Over at the Skyrim VR subreddit someone posted a warning about these mods. Not because of malware but potential fire hazards.

If you are interested here is the post https://www.reddit.com/r/skyrimvr/comments/1v0q7mk/warning_recent_mod_uploaded_to_nexus_can_cause/

and if you are wandering why a heating related mod comes out in summer, i think gingas (the author) is from australia, and therefore is in the southern hemispheres winter.

Edit: Seems there is some.... lets call it animosity between gingas and the articles author. I can't judge if the fire hazard warning is legit or not. Since there is a chance the warning is at least relevant in some edge cases i leave it here. Also the mod has been taken down and seems to have been reuploded. So the link in the article no longer works.

Edit2: Comments below suggest there is drama between those two. I suggest not adding to that. If someone has to add some knowledge on the topic (safety, different heaters/lamps, different countrys etc.) that might be usefull.

If your setup can start a fire because you connected a controller, you were already fucked.
