It started off promising enough. Dozens of tiny, colorful birds were drawn to my garden just a few weeks after I mounted a $350 $269 Kiwibit Bird Feeder 2 Pro. “Looks like Great Tit!” read the first AI-driven alert sent to my phone. “Looks like Eurasian Blue Tit!” read another. I chuckled, still waiting for […]

Alexa Plus is better at running my home, but it’s not ready to run my life

Amazon, Amazon Alexa, Digital Marketing, Reviews, SEO Tips, Smart Home Reviews, Tech, Technology /
Of all the things Alexa Plus can do, I never expected it to make me cry. Since my son left for college, the Echo Show in my office has been making then-and-now photo montages: the toddler with his first tennis racket next to the captain of his varsity team; me hugging him as a tween […]

Hands-free unlocking is the future of smart locks. The best smart home tech removes friction, and having your door unlock for you as you walk up is as frictionless as it gets – no passcodes to remember, no need to have a free hand to wave, press, or poke at the lock. One way to […]

Baking sourdough bread is inherently old-fashioned, relying on natural fermentation and wild yeast instead of the simple, predictable commercial stuff. So it might sound anathema to bring a gadget into the mix. The trick to the Sourdough Sidekick – backed and branded by King Arthur flour – is that it promises to automate the boring […]

Digital Marketing, Reviews, SEO Tips, Smart Home, Smart Home Reviews, Tech, Technology /
I’ve been a fan of Philips Hue smart lights since the early days. It’s one of the few staples in my ever-changing smart home. However, when the Bridge Pro launched late last year, it wasn’t immediately obvious why I should upgrade. The signature feature, MotionAware – which turns your lights into motion sensors – is […]
