Richard’s Smart Home 2024 Update

Adam checks in with Richard about his smart home acquisitions from the past year, including new lighting solutions from Inovelli and Legrand, a smart outlet from Leviton, and the Nest Learning Thermostat v4. They also discuss the Mill Food Recycler, which turns food scraps into something resembling coffee grounds. Those grounds can then be composted, used as fertilizer, or shipped back to Mill to be turned into chicken feed. If you want a Mill of your own, you can get $200 off using Richard's referral link.

Adam and Richard talk about the state of AI in the smart home, including fridges with computer vision and how Josh.ai is trying to fix voice-controlled home automation.

Is Kaleidescape Really the "Ultimate Movie Platform?"

Adam has been testing the Kaleidescape home theater movie platform, and on our last episode, he interviewed the company's director of technical marketing, Andre Floyd. Today, Richard interviews Adam about what he's learned from using the so-called "ultimate movie platform," who should definitely use it, and who might want to think twice before investing in it. They discuss ease of setup, movie selection, converting DVDs to digital titles, parental controls, pricing, and more. Kaleidescape provided Adam the hardware to try it out, but at the end of the interview, he explains whether or not he would pay full MSRP to have this in his home theater.
