Homey, Dwelling Assistant and AI in your Good Dwelling

I had the pleasure of catching up with sensible dwelling professional David Webster a couple of days in the past and we talked a few bunch of fascinating issues.

For those who occur to observe the video (under) or take heed to the podcast episode, my apologies for the out-of-sync audio. It appears like I’m consistently speaking excessive of David and he’s very sluggish to reply. The reality is, my file ended up being 1 second shorter than his file. No concept why, nevertheless it’s fairly annoying. I’ll attempt to use a unique platform to file my subsequent dialog.

Anyway, we had a great chat and David talked about how he got here to begin utilizing Homey, a number of the frustrations that he’s had together with his system repeatedly crashing and the way if he was ever to modify to a different system, it might most likely be Dwelling Assistant.

Regardless of the numerous information and expertise distinction, David and I even have a good quantity in widespread.

Nonetheless, I do suppose I’ll take the leap in some unspecified time in the future – simply not going anytime quickly.

AI for the Good Dwelling

David talked about how a strong use case for AI is likely to be the power for a lay individual to create “computerized automations” simply by utilizing their voice. I’ll admit, that does sound fairly unimaginable.
