HomeSeer’s newest Flex Sensors are now available
I’ve wondered about flood sensor placement before. As in – “what happens if I don’t put it in the right path?” The new HS-FS100-W addresses this issue with its [expandable] four foot detection cable. The family also includes a light sensor, which can be used to monitor indicator lights on equipment. If either are of interest, you can save $5 […]
Read moreCABDA Review
This was the first time I’ve had the chance to go to the CABDA expo, and as a cyclist it was great to meet and chat with the companies that make the kit I like. Much of what I saw wasn’t that relevant to the site (i.e. droolworthy wheels), but there were several things that were; with a few more […]
Read moreGocycle Electric Commuter Bicycle
I don’t know much about electric bicycles, except that they are fun to pass, so I was glad to get the chance to talk to Gocycle about their bicycles as CABDA. There are a few things that make them stand out compared to the other electric bikes out there, with the not-a-standard-bike design being the thing that most attracted me […]
Read moreInovelli Zwave+ Switch with Scenes and light support
Stumbled upon this today from Inovelli. Seems like the company is rather new and had some supply problems I like the ability to trigger a scene or routine from a button on a light switch. I also like the lights to tell me things from the bedroom. Credit to https://inovelli.com/shop/smart-light-switches/pre-order-z-wave-dimmer-switch-no-neutral-required-scenes-notifications/

So I’m very interested in their new Elevation hub. It checks all the right boxes, with Z-Wave/Zigbee radios, and Amazon Alexa/Google Home integration. Best […]
Read moreNvidia Shield TV gets even better. Now has Emby server!
The Nvidia Shield TV has had Plex server support for ages, so the news that Emby has added the fantastically flexible steamer to the list of supported sever platforms wasn’t entirely unexpected. It still came as a welcome surprise to me. Great news! We’re pleased to announce Emby Server is now available for NVIDIA Shield. Please see the Emby website […]
Read moreWahoo is working on Varia support
I recently had the chance to ride on the outskirts of Las Vegas, and while I’ve had the pleasure of interacting with the drivers there from a car before. It was a wholly different experience on my bicycle. To be fair, this concern isn’t geographically isolated; there are unsympathetic drivers everywhere. More that riding in an unfamiliar location alongside the […]
Read moreAutonomous Tech @ CES 2019
The promise of autonomous cars holds a great deal of interest for me. Both as someone who loves to drive, and someone who would love to have to actually drive the car less. For me these are discrete activities. Bit of snow on the ground, or a nice (empty) winding road, I want to have some fun. But the slog […]
Read moreSmart Toaster Thunderdome @ CES 2019
Ok… I am a sucker for fancy kitchen gadgets, and adding “smarts” to the mix only makes them more interesting. I like the idea of being able to check in my my food from another room in the house via the camera in the oven/toaster/air fryer, dehydrator, etc. Which is there, and this is the awesome part (assuming it really […]
