Kevin talks about the first NB-IoT tracker for the U.S., a new Bluetooth security flaw, and how Google’s cloud differs from AWS in his experience connecting our voicemail hotline to the cloud. We discuss Google’s news related to edge computing and several pieces of doorbell news before talking about a few recent articles that show how far the smart home has to come. This week I was at Google’s cloud event in San Francisco while Kevin swapped out his video doorbells. Your new fridge absolutely needs a camera.

I dumped smart devices and Kevin sumped subscriptions.

Tenants have the right to avoid the smart home.

Guest: Michael Wolf, the creator of the Smart Kitchen Summit and the publisher of The Spoon Hosts: Stacey Higginbotham and Kevin Tofel We end with a discussion about the Wirecutter’s shocking (to us) review of the June oven. He then goes through all the major appliances and explains which features I should look for when I’m shopping for new white goods in the next 18 months or so. We talk first about the state of the smart kitchen and where various appliance manufacturers are in adopting connectivity. Our guest this week is Michael Wolf, the creator of the Smart Kitchen Summit and publisher of The Spoon, which covers food tech. Abode launched a new hub with 4G cellular and improved Z-wave security. In our voicemail, we answer a question about finding smart lights that are equivalent to 100-watt bulbs. There’s also a new gateway for the abode security system, a setback for Microsoft’s Cortana and Kevin’s rediscovery of Node-RED. (Here’s a hack of the device on GitHub.) From there we talk about various device and subscription cleanses and new low-power Wi-Fi chips. Kevin and I discovered the name of the company behind the service and cover some of the challenges associated with the proposition.

The discussion was sparked by a series of tweets. This week’s podcast kicks off with a discussion about property owners forcing smart apartments on renters.
