    0:11 CES = Consumer Electronics Show

    • @brightboxstudio
      @brightboxstudio Рік тому

      Well…not really. Traditionally, you are right, and we can call the show whatever we want. But legally, they recently changed the name to “CES”. If you look at the CES Media Kit on the CES website, it says “PLEASE NOTE: The official name of the global technology event is ‘CES®.’ Please do not use ‘Consumer Electronics Show’ or "International CES" to refer to the event.” So, the way he said it took the professional approach, following CES media guidelines.
      Like some other shows and companies, they decided to make the trademark exclusively about the initialism, not the original words behind it. If you go to the CES home page or About page, and you search for “Consumer Electronics Show”, that phrase is not found. NAB did the same thing, their show is now officially “the NAB Show” not National Association of Broadcasters Show. Yeah, it’s kinda weird, but it is definitely a thing.
      One source says the rebrand is because the show had expanded beyond consumer electronics, now including automotive OEM electronics and such.

    Loved the video and the products/vendors you opted to review. I often feel like the CES review videos are presented at a frenetic pace for various reasons. Others go far to into the weeds and make it feel like we’re reading the vendor materials in the video. You’ve nailed the middle ground there. I didn’t once look at the time or sections because I was constantly engaged with the review without feeling like we were too deep in the minutia. Well done.

    I'm still somewhat confused.... If I get SwitchBot Hub 2 when it comes out, and SwitchBot Blind Tilt... is that enough to bring those blinds into HomeKit? I don't understand why there's a specific list of devices that goes with the Hub 2 announcement.

    • @HomeKitAuthority
      @HomeKitAuthority  Рік тому

      Switch will support all support categories in HomeKit. But it’s going to be a phased release starting with the curtain controller

    Is there any clarity whether the E1 USB hub will be getting Matter?
    I bought that one in a pinch recently and have another two weeks I can return it… but Matter is the only reason I’d need the bigger, pricier hub.

    I was pretty excited about the new Nanoleaf essentials lights coming out, but then I realized that since it's Matter only and does not have official HomeKit certification, it won't have HomeKit's adaptive lighting. That kinda puts a damper on the products for me because currently, I don't think there's any way to automate in HomeKit using Nanoleaf's own circadian rhythm feature in their app. Guess I might stick with Philips Hue 🤷‍♂(I wouldn't really care if it was just a desk lamp but I'm going to be installing recessed lights in my ceiling soon and having adaptive lighting is a big feature for me, so learning Nanoleafs recessed lights won't be able to do it natively kinda sucks)
