Smarthome Geek Out

Smarthome Geek Out

Author: Carl Franklin and Richard Campbell December 17, 2015 Duration: 1:00:58
Time for the Smart Home Geek Out! Carl and Richard chat about what the house of the future is like.

When thinking of what smart homes can become, it helps to think like a developer - have an array of sensors that measure the state of the home, its environment, contents and people. Then write code - get all those things talking to each other! Today we're starting to have connected homes, where different elements communicate with us. What will it take to get them communicating with each other? And while we're at it - here's the $5000 draw!
