I've told my wife that if all my projects fail I'll just fall back to making a smart home.
But I can only dream of making a smarthome as badass as the original smarthome in Northumberland.

Android Authority: Months after the promised change, Google Home is as unreliable as it ever was. “Hundreds of users are still complaining about Gemini, or Assistant, or both on Reddit. Commands that don’t work, routines that refuse to execute, mishearing, mis-executing, black-box troubleshooting when something fails, and on top of it all, a Gemini AI that is as good as throwing a ball at a […]

Question to everybody using LED strips in their homes: where do you buy the strips? Most Amazon stuff looks like crap, and most brands are hilariously overpriced and come with tons of features I really don't need, like their proprietary smart home integration. 🤔

"In the early 2000s, mesh networks were on the verge of being everywhere and connecting everything. Daisy-chaining many devices like beads on a string would “accommodate hundreds or thousands of nodes” and provide “low, up-front cost, easy network maintenance, robustness, and reliable service coverage,” according to mesh-networking forecasts from 2004 and 2005, respectively.
But it would take over two decades to get there. During that time, a range of mesh protocols and standards emerged, each claiming to be the solution—only to flame out or splinter into new incompatibilities.
In 2026, mesh networks that can work together in real-world settings are finally arriving. But rather than a single dominant standard that could power all variety of mesh networks, three separate but interoperable technologies are instead reaching maturity more or less simultaneously: Thread 1.4, a mesh standard for low-power smart-home devices; the Wi-Fi 7 standard for high-bandwidth computing; and the smart-home protocol Matter, which acts as a translator, so devices on different mesh networks can talk to one another. Together, these three provide the beginnings of compatibility and interoperability that has eluded mesh proponents for so long.
However, this multistandard compromise may well only be a way station. “I expect that one mesh technology will eat all the others eventually, possibly incorporating them,” said Mihail Sichitiu, professor of electrical and computer engineering at North Carolina State University, in Raleigh. “Maybe not immediately, but eventually. Looking at how other things evolved, it’s just a matter of time.”"

Android Authority: I built my smart home with Google; here’s how it fell apart. “That was 2019 or so. We’re in 2025, and boy, what a difference six years make! I’ve moved countries, bought a new house, and expanded my smart home setup to several dozen items interspersed in a dozen or so apps. I tried to stick with Google Home for the longest time as the one link between it all, but it all […]

The Verge: Nest is dead, long live Google Home. “The fact that one of the world’s largest tech companies took over three years to move a handful of devices into a new app is, frankly, astonishing. Combined with the slow, painful death of Nest hardware, you’d be forgiven for thinking Google had given up on the smart home. But, with a major Gemini-infused Google Home hardware announcement […]
