上次講到用乜嘢App好。如果想建設一個多元化嘅Home Automation setup我會建議利用一個Hub. 現時DIY市場我會建議利用Samsung Smartthings. 佢support Zigbee,Z-Wave 同Wifi. 用一個app可以控制屋外同屋外所有嘅devices.

咁多單一獨立App，用邊個好？

呢一個毛巾架係用燈曲制。亦都可以通過手機程式同埋聲控控制開關。
This towel heater electrical input is wired to the wall. The switch is away from the installation point but can still be controlled via the mobile app and by voice.

我屋企裝咗兩個熱毛巾架。我鍾意沖完涼就有熱毛巾。但係如果你沖涼嗰時至開，沖完涼條毛巾係唔會夠熱。用個手機app set咗每日下午四點半就開着。我個女放學返嚟沖涼就會有熱毛巾。毛巾架係裝咗係一個13A嘅插蘇，中間按一個Smartplug就做到。可以set到有埋Notification。

So, I have two towel heaters at home. It is convenient to have the towels hot when you get out of the shower. But it takes a while to heat up the towels. So with the mobile app, you can preset the heater to turn on earlier, as with the one in my daughter’s bathroom. The towels are hot when she comes back from school. Place a Smartplug between the 13A socket and the towel heater’s plug and use the app to set up a routine. You also get notification that this has happened.

So I want to change the direction of this page. Want to give some more personal examples of how home automation has simplified my and my family’s life. Hopefully it will help you to consider how to leverage new technologies in your life.

Smarthomes still aren’t very smart, and voice assistants don’t truly understand you. Beyond using groups, you should name your devices carefully to avoid overlap, hard to remember names, and confusion—both for you and your voice assistant.

Online plus offline calling. Maybe one can try Skype out to landline.

Who’d have thought Microsoft and Amazon would become two new best friends. But that is just what has happened, as both companies have collaborated to officially bring Skype to Alexa devices. This integration allows for not just answering calls with a single voice command, but owners of these smart...
