The article discusses expectations for smart home announcements at the upcoming IFA tech show in Berlin. While companies may unveil new smart speakers, cameras and robot vacuums, the smart home remains fragmented as the Matter interoperability standard has yet to fully deliver on integrating devices. The author argues the industry needs to provide more utility than novelty by allowing different smart devices to work together seamlessly. Examples mentioned include lights notifying users of doorbell activity or a robot vacuum taking on multiple household chores autonomously. Overall, the smart home needs solutions that are essential rather than just novel if consumers are to see the value beyond the initial cool factor.
Bro you would shit your pants at the automation I have setup in my house. Automatic blinds, HVAC, lights, motion sensors, door locks, all open source and local network only. Hell, half the stuff isn’t even on wifi.
Home assistant is a lifestyle
If it works for you and you’re happy with it, then ignore the haters (like me) and enjoy! 👍
