  • In this episode I’m looking at smart home technology. From remote controls to the Clapper, we’ll find out where it began and where it’s headed. I’m also joined by none other than Bill Gates about how climate change and optimizing energy usage play a part in revolutionizing our homes.

You make everything seem so easy with your laid back presentations. No loud talking or waving your hands, no bragging, nothing except presenting a product or an idea that makes it ok to set the remote down until you are through. Keep up the great job.

I can also turn on any song on the internet using my voice, skip songs while I'm in the shower, change the volume etc without touching anything. My lights actually are programmed to turn off and on at different times and when my phone is at different locations so I don't even need to use my voice most the time. Also thermostats are smart now so they can be handled with just your voice or location. Some TVs can be used with a voice assistant. Blinds can be rolled up or down with your voice. You can basically control anything you'd have your butler control for you with smart technology these days.

      @@Joseph-C I worked for a company that implemented all sorts of home automation solutions so I'm quite familiar with this tech. Most of it are just novelties at best.
      For an average home it boils down to colorful lights, a thermostat and maybe an AC. Sure it's cool when you can turn on the lights with your voice... when and if it works. Alexa, Siri, Android... I got fed up with all of them. In most cases it was faster and easier to flip a switch. Not to mentions that it's always listening somewhere in the background.
      I really don't see much added value for an average home besides the 'wow' factor that fades away after a few weeks.

I was pretty bad at not telling teachers that they were wrong and I have always felt like Ned Flanders leftist needs were based off a very real section of society that have gone from being burnt on a stake to having to type but always having it where as the minority you are always left out.

    99% of what I want in "home automation" I get from programmable WiFi wall plugs (currently $5 each and incredibly programmable) and light switches. Once set up I hardly even use the app though voice control via Alexa/Home is somewhat useful.
    The piece of home automation I want most is electric windows.

  • @JezebelIsHongry

    Story Time.
    This is an illustration of how fast technology has moved. In 2014 I was a home integration specialist. Essentially salesperson that sold smart home and home theaters to wealthy people in Rancho Santa Fe, Cali.
    We used the Savant System. We also sold a box and subscription service...this should blow your mind...so our clients could screen current movies in their home theaters....and they signed a contract where they couldn't turn it into a small theater. Strictly home use.
    One deal...145k . Home Theater with 4k projection. Lutron Lights, sec cam, temp controlled rack room. Outdoor speakers.
    My commision? Average yearly income for Americans.
    You can order all of this from Amazon now. Your lighting will be better...and your cams will be better.
    The only thing that has yet to come is a cool feature of the Savant system. Imagjne a picture of your living room. Imagine lights on end tables. You could be at work and touch the iPad (what we used for remotes) on the pic of the lights and turn them on...same with TV and HVAC and sound system.
    But all the money for features that the average person can afford now...12k was charged for our programmer to program the system. Anyway....7 years later and all that money was waisted.....except for the family's proscenium....we had a master carpenter and interor designer..that shit was beautiful.

    IoT: Smart-outlets are great if you forget to turn off appliances, fans, etc.. I like that it reboots my internet modem daily in the middle of the night. Smart-lights are useful for lighting the home to make it look occupied and just remote control from across the room. Precautions: I never use smart devices that are cameras. I put them on their own separate network. Another thing is to put them behind a firewall.

    Really entertaining video, thanks!! Another reason why some of this older tech is still relevant today is that it isn't connected to the internet. With an X10 system like HomeMinder or Powerhouse you can remotely control almost every device in your house, including light switches and power outlets, and even change the temperature (similar to the Nest thermostat), all individually scheduled per day of the week/month. If you were away from home you could call your house and control your lights/stereo/furnace remotely. For people who aren't interested in the "internet of things," or who are leery of things like Alexa, this technology is still relevant and useful today.

    @marques some of the original remote controls for televisions used high frequency soundwaves to control the TV vs the more modern infrared and then radio waves. I remember when my brother and I figured that lifting and dropping a chain would sometimes inadvertently make the high frequency sound that would change the channel. I'm a Gen X guy and technologist and grew up with all this first level innovation and now have an extremely smart rigged home. Love this retro tech series. There are some great infographics out there that show how science fiction ideation ended up inspiring inventors to build everything they imagined.

    I think a good source of inspiration for what a smart home should do would be to look at how houses of the wealthy back in the Victorian era were managed with different butlers and servants. So a smart house should probably at most be able to make decisions for you like what food you should eat, manage itself, manage your schedule and calendar, order food to prepare for you, talk with you and have a personality of it's own, and work to minimize the amount of tasks you fulfill yourself while minimizing the cost of operating and maintaining the house.

    I bought in heavily to the X-10 system in the 1990s and 2000s. You really didn't give it due credit. While there was no internet connectivity, it was programmable, had timer randomization, and did lots of things we take for granted now like automatically turn on lights when you enter a room and do several things with one button press. There were home and away modes and you could easily load new programs and settings by connecting it to your computer. Programming was simple, straightforward, quick and reliable. It could play a chime when somebody entered your driveway or came to your front door. There were security and alarm features as well. It worked really well for a long time.
    The real cause of X-10's downfall was changing FCC regulations and the proliferation of electronics that caused interference that resulted in reliability problems. It was basically the same thing that happened to cordless landline phones. They worked well in the early years, but as more and more radio frequency tech came out it caused too much interferencance and range issues. Those issues were solved with digital tech, but by that time mobile phones were already taking over, so the cordless phones never recovered the market penetration they once had. By the time X-10 was on its way out, Wi-Fi was common and other products that were not so susceptible to interference (X-10 used RF as well as power line communication) and had Internet connectivity were on the market.
    I have to say that X-10 was far, FAR more user-friendly than Logitech's Harmony remotes. Those require proprietary software that only runs on Windows and IE and is extremly complicated, frustrating and unreliable. Once you get them set up they work fairly well, but getting to that point is a royal PITA.
