Tell me why I need one of these things again?

Apple is looking to release a home "hub" device powered by Siri AI, a new TV set-top box, and refreshed HomePod mini. Look for the Apple TV and HomePod mini this fall and the home hub between October and early next year.

The super duper feature is facial recognition, enabling the hub to identify who’s looking at the display, determine their distance and personalize the interface in real time. Yawn!!! 🥱

This looks to be an interesting project!

secluso/core: A privacy-preserving home security camera that uses advanced end-to-end encryption and is consumer-friendly: no mucking about in a terminal unless you WANT to.

Bring your own #RaspberryPi camera, or pre-order one of theirs at secluso.com The cameras are limited to 1080p, however, so the image quality will be GOOD, but not GREAT.

Residential fire safety requires physical validation, not just passive hardware deployment. Standard piezo-electric smoke alarms operating at 3 kHz often fail to trigger arousal in sleeping children due to deep-wave sleep cycles.

Ring vs Nest Doorbell: Which Wins?

Ring wins by a small margin for most people, especially if your home already leans on Alexa or you expect to add more cameras later. Nest still does better in some areas, like smarter alerts and cleaner night video on models such as the Nest Doorbell Battery.

Finally cancelled our Telus “Home Security" plan. We have our own webcams that are nicer anyway and fully controlled by us for free. Versus their cloud system for $21/mo (actually $41/mo but we had -20 in discounts promotions)

We had originally got it on a bundle or something...

Just have to remove the Telus camera from our outside area and pack it up to send back. They threaten to charge you $100 if you don’t send it back by their 'deadline’.

Customer Service. It's a thing...
