As I’ve been reviewing my wiring plans for our new home build, it occurred to me that audio wiring is part of that overall plan, with integrated smart devices. We’ll have surround sound in our new home, including individual app and voice audio control in individual rooms as well as synced throughout the house - and outdoors. I’m excited about that as it’s a new home feature for us. And with the opportunity to run wire during construction we can do it right.
Dyson already makes robot vacuums that can clean up floors. They're working on robots to do a number of other household chores, as well. The company is looking to hire engineers to join their robotics team, with a goal of developing an autonomous device capable of household chores and other tasks. This is certainly welcome news for anyone who'd like to regain a few hours of their time every week.
The smart home company Insteon has vanished. The entire company seems to have abruptly shut down just before the weekend, breaking users' cloud-dependent smart-home setups without warning. Users say the service has been down for three days now despite the company status page saying, "All Services Online." The company forums are down, and no one is replying to users on social media.
Part of the grilling process involves babysitting whatever you're cooking. But this smart grilling hub from Weber lessens the load, acting as a step-by-step assistant that sends notifications to your phone for every step in the process. So instead of making your next cook a full-time job, delegate to the Weber Connect for flip & serve notifications and alerts when the meat is at its peak — all while you take in the game or multi-task in the yard.
