It’s always disappointing when something neat goes away, and I would definitely classify the Human Hex muscle oxygen sensor in that group. In some ways, it could be a better indicator that heart rate for most of what we use heart rate for; whether running or cycling. Ultimately, I can also see why they weren’t able to make it though.

Resonado‘s Flat Core speaker is definitely more on the “interesting technology that I hope to see come to market” side of things than we usually cover, but given the potential to create really neat speaker shapes, I think it’s worth a mention. They do seem to be more focused on mobile (e.g. laptop, phones, tablets, etc) than home, or home […]

Even though I don’t own a Tesla, I am a fan*. Not always of the behavior of the company (case in point), and certainly not the fellow that runs it. More of what they are doing on a macro scale to the auto industry, and how they are doing it. They drive innovation by creating a premium product, at a […]

The Ubiquiti Unifi Dream Machine Pro (UDM-Pro) came out of Early Access (closed BETA) recently, and now anyone with $379 + tax + shipping can buy one. But the TLDR, is that Ubiquiti has rushed this device to market. Not only is it lacking many of the features of the USG lineup, it also has many bugs and issues. Unless […]

With a 4K (UHD) front and 1080p rear camera, 2.4/5GHz Wi-Fi, cloud connectivity, GPS, and HEVC recording up to 25Mbps (front) + 10Mbps (rear), the Blackvue DR900S-2CH is a top end dashcam. Does the high end feature set justify the higher MSRP (around $500) vs Blackvue’s other offerings? Thanks to Blackvue (Pittasoft) for providing the review sample.

While I wouldn’t dream of smarting up my house without the unified experience a home automation controller (HAC) provides, I can see that not everyone wants to take that step. Devices like the HALO, which connect directly to your Wi-Fi and use an app, are a great way to get some of the benefits of a smart lock on your […]

I imagine that many people have been eagerly awaiting the release of the Unifi Dream Machine Pro (UDM-Pro). I would definetly include myself in the bunch (actually made sure to place my order before writing this post :P), although it wasn’t access to Unifi Protect, or all the Cloud-key stuff built in, so much as the upgraded CPU – which […]

The Zooz ZEN25 Double Plug enables control via a Z-Wave home automation controller for two 120V AC devices. It also has a non-controllable USB outlet (why?).

I haven’t played with ANGi, but it seems like a solid concept with clunky execution. Which, apparently, has improved slightly this morning. DCR has the skinny. Wahoo and Specialized have announced a new integration that lets Wahoo users automatically start and stop the Specialized ANGi helmet live tracking and crash detection features, directly from their Wahoo ELEMNT/BOLT/ROAM computers. This integration […]
