Alternative platforms, Smart Homes, and Ants in my walls - Patroncast S02E26
🕑 Added 2022-07-04 11:50:26 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
I hope you're all doing OK, and welcome to all newcomers to the podcast, I appreciate the support! Here is your fresh new episode!
This week, I'll talk about:
- 01:17 Youtube's flaws and how none of the alternative platforms are really that enticing
- 15:49 Virtual assistants and smart homes, and how it seems like a mess of incompatible things
- 20:56 Completing the renovation of the sunroom, and finding there was an Ant colony living inside the walls
I hope you enjoy listening to it!
Best,
Nick

I'll look into Zigbee, thanks!

We mainly got into this when IKEA did, given how that created a sizeable market for support and second hand items.

Hardware wise we probably have Zigbee stuff from five or six different vendors (there are online lists to check compatibility with for example deconz - ala proton db) plus all the non-Zigbee stuff like our Denon audio receiver etc.
