Amazon zieht Werbung bei Alexa Plus in Erwägung
Amazon-CEO Andy Jassy sieht in der verbesserten Sprachassistenz von Alexa Plus eine Gelegenheit, mehr Werbung unters Volk zu bringen – trotz Abo-Modell.
Does anyone know if Philips #hue lamps and bulbs can be paired with an Ikea #tradfri hub?
There’s lots of stuff online about pairing Tradfri bulbs with Hue hubs, but not the other way around.
Also, how is the Tradfri integration with #alexa and #homeAssistant? I’m thinking of replacing my Hue hub with a Tradfri one due to problem with Tradfri lamps on Hue hub.
I don’t even have the words…
I upgraded my #HomeAssistant Raspberry Pi 4 to a Pi 5 with an S2Pi combo PoE NVME HAT, and after installing Home Assistant and restoring from my backup and reconfiguring the static IP address in my router…
EVERYTHING WORKS LIKE I NEVER LEFT.
Even my USB-connected Zigbee and Z-WAVE controllers.
HOME ASSISTANT FOR THE WIN!!!

Smart Home Bollocks - Door Lock
My brother resides in the United Kingdom with his wife and children. Today, he completed installing FaceAge on his bedroom door, as a precautionary measure in case his kids unexpectedly enter the bedroom at an inopportune time.
Good news for #SmartHome nerds in #AotearoaNZ, there is finally a Matter (and therefore HomeKit) supported Smart Plug on the market here which is narrow enough to not occlude the plugs next door to it! And it’s only $30!
Ich brauche mal wieder ein bisschen #fedipower, also bitte nicht nur liken sonder auch boosten wenn es euch nichts ausmacht.
Ich bin derzeit auf der Suche nach einem smarten Schloss für unsere Wohnungstür. Das ganze sollte ganz ohne Cloud funktionieren oder nur Komfortfunktionen wie temporäre Schlüssel sollten davon abhängen. Das Ding sollte ohne Herstellercloud also kein E-Schrott werden.
Ausserdem sollte es möglich sein ein Keypad, NFC Reader o.ä. zu nutzen damit auch Kinder ohne Smartphone das ganze öffnen können.
Eure Vorschläge?

New bonus episode!
I asked roboticists what type of #robot they'd like in their household. We had a bit of a giggle discussing the future potential and current limitations of home robots!

What kind of home robot would you choose?
> there are rumblings of a #lawsuit, because #Google clearly isn't delivering the smooth and integrated #smarthome experience you might expect if you've picked up one of its #GoogleHome or #GoogleNest devices.
In der Test-Zeitschrift der Stiftung Warentest 8/2025 wurden #Smarthome Systeme getestet. Dazu habe ich folgenden Leserbrief geschrieben:
Sie merken an, dass die AVM-Lösung nur per Webbrowser vollumfänglich einzurichten sei und werten das System ab. Mag sein, dass man es kritisieren kann, wenn Apps nicht den vollen Funktionsumfang bieten, aber die Erreichbarkeit und volle Wartbarkeit lokaler Geräte und Dienste per Webbrowser (von jedem Gerät wie Desktop, Laptop, Smartphone, etc.) ist ein absolutes Qualitätskriterium und sollte positiv in die Wertung eingehen.
Bei Somfy und anderen gibt es einen #Appzwang als "Pluspunkt" in der Wertung?!
Einen App-Zwang gibt es nicht nur bei Smart-Home-Systemen, sondern vielen anderen Gerätegattungen und Online-Diensten (selbst bei der ePA).

Your "smart" home just got a lot less smart! 
Futurehome customers who bought devices expecting lifetime functionality now face a $117/year subscription fee or their gadgets become expensive paperweights. Nothing says "future of tech" like turning purchased hardware into rental agreements! 
Ring denies breach after users report suspicious logins from unusual devices in various locations worldwide, leading them to believe their accounts had been hacked.
A two-year study of six families living with smart home technologies (SHT) suggests that the commercial failure (so far) of this technology is due in part to internal resistance within the families, whose members have different interests, skills, and roles in the familial power structure.
The discussion suggests that similar resistance effects may apply to the adoption of AI, robots, and self-driving cars.

Man kann nur optimieren, was man messen kann! Aus diesem Grund "überwache" ich auch unseren Stromzähler um super komfortabel den Stromverbrauch im Blick zu haben:
