Why a Proper Smart Home Needs a Hub If you’ve ever gone down the rabbit hole of smart home gadgets, you’ve probably run across devices that require a “hub.” You might think, “Why would I buy something that requires additional hardware?” I think you should seriously consider a hub. When I first got started with smart home stuff, I shared that same thought. I bought a few light switches and bulbs that worked over Wi-Fi, no additional equipment required. Over time, my smart- ish home evolved into a full-fledged smart home. That’s where hubs really shine. Two Ways to Build a Smart Home
Google introduces Matter protocol for smart home devices, adds WebRTC support and more Google has announced 4 new updates to their smart home ecosystem that will improve the experience for users. These updates include two new protocols that will improve compatibility and user experience, improved Home & Away Routines, and the Google smart home directory. One of the new protocols introduced is called Matter, which was co-developed by Google and other tech companies. Support for Matter will be added to Android and Nest devices, and will enable simpler setup and interoperable control for Matter-certified products. The second protocol added is WebRTC, which will improve live video and audio-streaming experience by reducing latency between security cameras, video doorbells, smart displays and mobile devices. Some of the many manufacturers that will also support WebRTC include Arlo, Logitech, Netatmo and Wyze.
Android Community April 15, 2021 While most people will most likely answer calls on their mobile devices, those who have smart speakers and smart displays also have the option to take the calls from those devices. Last year, we got “presence sensing” for Home & Away Routines but now we’re getting another option that lets your devices take calls only when you’re actually at home. The latest Google Home update brings an “only ring when home” feature so whoever is trying to call you will not be routed to your home devices. 9 to 5 Google shares that Google Home version 2.36 has started rolling out to users. The only notable new feature for this update is that it brought the “Only ring when home” option. Basically what it does is that it will not send your calls to your smart speakers or smart displays when it determines that you and your phone are not at home. The app will determine if you are Home or Away and if you are the former, you’ll be able to receive calls on your home devices. But if it’s the latter, you’ll only get the call on your smartphone.
JC Torres - Apr 14, 2021, 12:52am CDT We call some products “smart” mostly due to the abilities they have that sometimes go beyond our own skills, at least when it comes to getting information from the Internet. There are times, however, when smart assistants and smart devices don’t actually behave that smartly, like things we take for granted because of human behavior or common sense. It is only recently, for example, that these smart speakers and displays have started to adjust their behavior depending on whether there’s anyone around in the first place, like ringing them only when you’re around to actually answer a call.
