Conversation of Things #3 - Kent Dickson and Yonomi's Smart Home Vision

Joe Dugandzic — Sat, 26 Aug 2017 05:58:23 +0000

For this episode, I welcomed Yonomi Co-founder and CEO Kent Dickson to the show. (Although he actually was on Smarter Home Life about a year ago, but he's technically new to the "CoT') He shares what's new with Yonomi, and I even get him to tease a few things that are coming soon to their namesake home automation app. Also, he gives me all the connected details on Thin Cloud, their new service that gives IoT device makers a solid cloud platform on which their products and services can communicate...without breaking the bank. Plus, all about what's coming next for the smart home: Is it artificial intelligence, more buttons or perhaps helpful robots? Check out this episode in audio-only or video format below for the insightful discussion.

Conversation of Things #2 - Dr. John Barentine and Preserving The Night Sky

Joe Dugandzic — Fri, 28 Jul 2017 20:29:29 +0000

My super-smart and longtime friend Dr. John Barentine from the International Dark-Sky Association joins me to talk about how lighting affects the night sky and the health and well-being of both humans and many other species across our planet. Whether it’s too much blue light that we’re staring at during nighttime hours or the over-abundance of light in our cities, light pollution is a real thing and the IDA is working to educate the public on how to reduce it. We also chat about how smart lighting from the home automation world is making its ways into cities and street lighting, along with what the future holds for lighting beyond the current LED revolution.
