- 57 minutes 39 secondsHome: On #157 – Pondering HomeKit with Jeff Butts from The Mac Observer
Jeff Butts, Managing Editor at The Mac Observer joins us. We ponder why Signify would want to get into the security game (and why consumers would want them to), discuss some updates on previously reported news, and dive into a discussion about the current state of HomeKit. New architectures, Shortcuts, and Matter…and what’s with this Works with Apple Home thing? It’s all getting kind of messy.

28 August 2023, 5:00 am - 42 minutes 59 secondsHome: On #156 – The Accessible Smarthome with Dustin Boggus
MyHomeKithome YouTuber and podcast host Dustin Boggus joins Richard to talk about accessibility in the smarthome. Sure, it’s fun and futuristic to have lights and digital assistants that obey your commands and react to your presence…but what if your ability to work and live safely in your own environment depended upon it? Dustin shares his experiences with specific technologies and products and shares some thoughts about what more the industry could be doing. Oh, and this episode was recorded some time ago, so we also talk about some now … fairly old industry news.

Richard once again joins other hosts from the Technology.FM podcasts to share in their annual tradition of the fireside chat. What caught their attention this year, what do they think will be big next year, and how did they fare with last year’s predictions? As always, this special DMZ mix offers fewer ums, fewer digital assistant triggers, and–perhaps most importantly–blocks Mike’s valiant attempt to trick your Echo into sending something very expensive to your home.

Chamberlain killed its overpriced, unreliable HomeKit Home Bridge, Tado has a money-saving program that might actually use more energy, Lutron adds to its Caséta lineup, and everyone’s getting into Matter (hopefully).
