Somehow Best Buy popped this option into my inbox. Sevenhugs remote. It looks very interesting and appealing. The ability to control Sonos, Hue and with a little finagling probably my Hubitat hub. It appears it uses little pods around the room to tell what your aiming at. I do wish it was a little bigger and wasn’t all touchscreen. I […]

As someone who derives significant value from the slew of guided workout sessions available on YouTube. The idea behind a virtual personal trainer is incredibly appealing, mostly because it’s relatively cheap ($30/three-months), and is always available. Or, well, any time/place you have your phone, and I imagine an internet connection. Having the feedback on form (which as anyone who has […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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/

I had a chance to chat with Hubitat at CES a few weeks ago and was very impressed with their home automation controller. What impressed me more, was their approach and passion for doing things right. 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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
