Extreme smart home makeover | The Vergecast

From the creator

David has a new house, and no idea what to do with it. So he taps The Verge’s Jennifer Pattison Tuohy to help him make the place a lot smarter. Jen and David go room by room, figuring out how to improve everything from his lighting to his fridge to his front door. Some of the decisions are easy, like betting on Matter. Some are more complicated: what do you do when you have a split household between Android and iOS? Some are downright existential — how much would you spend for a better cup of coffee? Jen has ideas, and a vast set of product recommendations as well. #Vergecast #Smarthome #Podcast 00:00 Intro 02:42 Setting Up the Smart Home 03:31 Designing the Smart Home: Rules and Constraints 12:13 Kitchen Gadgets and Appliances 28:22 Living Room Lighting and Controls 38:54 Debating Smart Lock and Doorbell Video 39:27 Smart Home Security Products at Home Depot 40:05 Smart Solutions for Bedrooms 47:26 Smart Lighting and Air Quality for Kids’ Rooms 53:01 Smart Home Solutions for Basements 01:04:13 Smart Home Solutions for Backyards 01:10:47 Final Thoughts and Recommendations Subscribe: http://goo.gl/G5RXGs Like The Verge on Facebook: https://goo.gl/2P1aGc Follow on Twitter: https://goo.gl/XTWX61 Follow on Instagram: https://goo.gl/7ZeLvX Follow on TikTok: http://bit.ly/42VeCVU Watch The Vergecast on YouTube: https://bit.ly/40RFRkg The Vergecast Podcast: https://bit.ly/3WQDexZ Decoder with Nilay Patel: http://apple.co/3v29nDc More about our podcasts: https://www.theverge.com
