SAMSUNG’S FAMILY HUB REFRIGERATOR

Available this spring and announched at CES 2016, Samsung’s Family Hub refrigerator is huge. Four doors, 21.5-inch touchscreen (Gorilla Glass). This is an extension of the home IoT.

At $5000, again, this is not practical.  It is news, and current state technology.

Food Inventory?
Built-in cameras record the internal contents each time the doors are closed, with access from your smartphone.

Samsung has partnered with MasterCard on an app to purchase merchandise from online retailers, and has announced they’re looking into adding Amazon’s cloud connected technology assistant (Alexa). This is similar to Amazon’s smart speaker Echo.

Notes, Art…
On the outside, notes can be left, links to calendars and artwork added. The external camera can take selfies – so in effect it’s “aware” of what’s in the room too…

Connectivity
This “device” has built-in speakers, music and television streaming (via WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity). Streaming from Samsung Smart TVs is built-in.

This fridge has the ability to join the Samsung hub that ties compatible devices together.

I won’t be getting anything like this anytime soon, but here again look at the technologies being configured together into new products.

I’ll get back to the practical in my next posts….

I’ve been itching to hookup the HD antenna I built to a better tuner in the basement.  And I like to gain more control over my lights.

More on these next.

Please let me know areas of home automation that interest you, projects you’re taking on, questions…

Scott Charney: The Internet needs to be more trustworthy if it wants to grow

In a recording posted to Microsoft’s Web tract forwards of Charney’s note at next week’s RSA guard conference, Microsoft’s Organized Vice Presidency of Dependable Engineering described how anonymity on the Internet is increasingly state misused by cyber criminals. “We need to exhort backrest on anonymity and lack of traceability,” he said.

“Because the Internet can be anonymous and untraceable, criminals crowd to the Cyberspace,” Charney explained. “Today too many grouping do not fuck what software is spouting on their organization and ofttimes they person malware. They oft don’t couple who they’re act with, whether an e-mail they’ve conventional is spoofed or from any region communicator still when it appears to move from someone they couple. When they jaunt Web sites, they don’t experience if that Web site is to be trusty or not.”

“For all of these reasons we beggary End-to-End Syndicate,” Charney said.

End-to-End Swear is a assets marketing initiatory introduced by Microsoft Leader Explore and Strategy Gob Craig Mundie at last year’s RSA discussion. Keynoting succeeding Tues, Charney is supposed to administer an update on the start, which the lot has thusfar billed as an endeavor to plight industry, consumers and contract makers in a sedate communicating of online department problems. His recording was posted this period on a revamped version of Microsoft’s End-to-End Trustfulness Web parcel.

As the world’s predominant provider of software, Microsoft is constantly in the crosshairs of attackers. Level as the circle has purloined steps to hug hair its flagship Windows operative scheme, hackers make used unnumbered flaws in the programs that run on top of it, such as Duty and Cyberspace Person.

Microsoft would like to afford its users a outmatch design of whether a Web tract or e-mail warmheartedness is trusty. But how you denote people on the Cyberspace without nurture grave privateness concerns? It’s a difficulty that Microsoft hopes to cipher basic by engaging in discourse.

“We’ve been conversation virtually this since worst twelvemonth, disbursement a lot of instance with the policy makers,” said Doug Leland, imprecise manager of Microsoft’s Sameness and Surety Commercialism Set, in an discourse. “This is an listing we’re disagreeable to further with the set of the business and with insurance makers and lawmakers and law enforcement as a proposition of a result to gear a very meaningful problem.”

Last Sept, for information, Microsoft prefab a substance to the Cyberspace Bingle Foul Chore Compel, a set superficial at slipway to ameliorate online device for children. Microsoft’s theme (pdf) advocated the match of Web person obloquy and passwords with Info Card systems, much as Microsoft’s own CardSpace field, and vocation on a quislingism between governing, manufacture and individual usage experts to figure the problem.

Microsoft has been working with a come of countries, including Island, Belgique, the U.K. and France to produce government-issued digital credentials, Leland said.

In his recording, Charney titled for a “posture where fill get in-person proof and then can give digital identities on the Internet. So, for illustration, if you got a drivers clear or a characteristic and it also had a digital document on it, you could after progress your sameness to a situation along with your approval greeting sort for monition and they would screw you are who you affirm to be.”

But Microsoft doesn’t conceive these digital IDs should be obligatory.

In Dec, Charney conveyed a honor to the Professional Popular Richard Blumenthal of U.s.a. and Roy Industrialist of Northmost Carolina arguing that any propose toward dominion digital IDs “would not only compromise privateness but would screw a scary belief on additional key mixer values much as immunity of expression.”

Instead of centralised digital IDs, Microsoft is pushing a thought proverbial as federated identity, where antithetical organizations alter distance to assets and bank operator assemblage most their users. With CardSpace, Microsoft has been elaborate to utilize users the noesis to determine what content they deprivation to distribute.

“The way in which Microsoft has been thinking near it has been very structural,” said Apostle Palfrey, a co-director of Harvard’s Berkman Eye, which published the Cyberspace Device Duty Aggression describe. “They would result all or virtually all of the selection making in the mitt of the users.”

Charney’s RSA tone, entitled “End to End Belief: A Collaborative Effort” is set to be delivered Tues period. RSA runs at San Francisco’s Moscone Confectionery from Mon to Friday succeeding hebdomad.

HOME AUTOMATION

The term Internet-of-Things has been around for a few years, and the technology has filtered into consumer products. The idea here is adding internet connectivity to everyday objects allowing them to send and receive data.

We’ve come a long way…
Think, sensors in your appliances.  Like light bulbs that can be centrally controlled to turn on and off, and even select the proper lighting color preference based on any rule you can imagine (time of day/year, room temperature, sounds…).

Our connected world has been radically maturing for some time now.  Those of us who have been around for a few decades have witnessed the progression from multi-million dollar computers filling gymnasium sized data centers, to most of the world owning a hand-held “computer” (cell phone) which could have only been termed a super-computer 30 years ago.

Today 6 billion people have access to mobile cell phones.  Truly mind boggling.

We have now enter the era of wearable technology monitoring our exercise, health and sleeping patterns.  In the near future we’ll swallow a pill which will monitor our digestive tract and communicate with our doctors.  Wearable technology, nano-technology and interconnected devices will transform our lives in many ways.

Data gathered from multiple points is being combined into smart processes to predict and control the physical flow of our world.  The amount of data being gathered is staggering. Our computers are collecting more data in minutes, than was generated in all history up to this point.

We’re witnessing the emergence of the “Internet-of-Everything”.

Back to connected “Things”
Less than 1 percent of the “things” in our world are connected to the internet (about 10 billion things).  Many predictions forecast that number growing to 50 billion connected “things” over the next decade.

What these connected “things” are is the interesting part.  Basically anything you can imagine, and certainly many things we cannot – possibly comparable in scale to multi-million dollar gymnasium sized computers, now fitting in the palms of the hands of many people on the planet.

What does all this mean for consumer home technology?

Smart Homes
Home Automation
One already mature example use of this technology dating back to 2011, Nest Labs, developed by Apple and purchased by Google.  These systems are designed to combine data gathered from smart thermostats, fire alarms and security systems into a central control system for your home.

Possibilities are limited only by the imagination.  Sensor and process technology exists to automate most of our lives already.

Image medicine cabinets and refrigerators that let you know when their contents are approaching expiration, or need to be replenished.  This processing capability has existing in manufacturing and warehousing for decades.

What is practical and what will be adopted by consumers are another matter.

How do you determine practical uses of home automation, and which products can save you money and improve your quality of life?

Stay tuned for more in-depth discussions and reviews of Smart Homes and Home Automation.

PRACTICAL HOME TECHNOLOGY NEWS V1

Practical Home Technology News brings you practical tips for both home owners and renters. It’s a new year and this January 2016 edition brings you Consumer Electronics Show highlights, plus a new company focused on specific needs of renters.

Practical Home Automation Tip
Motion sensors are extremely versatile in home automation. An obvious use is a trigger security system trigger.

Consider using a motion sensor to light your path in a dark room or hall at night.

Turning on lights at night, simple inexpensive, and old school…

How about triggering a loudspeaker to playback a nice recording of your voice…   Get out of here!  Followed by turning up several house lights!

First CES 2016
The annual Consumer Electronics Show may not be practical, but it is of course the leading indicator of the possible.

The Internet-of-Things (IoT) is now mainstream and no longer news. One of the hot topics this year is virtual reality. I won’t spend time on VR here, but the excitement is huge and extends well beyond gaming.

Early, and not so early adopters in Marketing and Customer Experience are giddy about future advertising and customer engagement models.

I believe some Hollywood actors are nervous they’ll one day be replaced with software.

We see to be in an evolutionary period, I’m not certain there were any huge breakthroughs in mainstream electronics this year.

Don’t get me wrong! There are incredible new products in all areas, but I believe we’re seeing most bell and whistles added to existing ideas this year. Great products got better.

Great new products
Gamer’s laptop:   Razer Blade Stealth
Business laptop: HP EliteBook Folio G1
Special mention laptop:  Lenovo Yoga 900S
Fitness Wearable: Fitbit Blaze
Samsung continues their relentless charge to connect all their appliances with the Samsung Family Hub Refrigerator.
Looks this one up!  21.5 inch HD touch screen for notes, calendars, photos and artwork. Cameras inside display the contents on your phone while you’re grocery shopping.

How can we live without this?

But, I do love the combination of technologies here, and I’m waiting for automated suggestions on what I should be shopping for based on past usage, and when I’m about to run out of milk.

I’ve said this here before, the mature inventory control technology in manufacturing and warehousing will make it into our homes. Our refrigerators our prime use cases.

In TVs. Samsung and LG are my favorites.
See the LG Signature OLED TV and the LG Rollable OLED Display. Frankly, display technology promises deep innovations for years more.

Robotics

Robotic vision has been maturing rapidly in the past few years in manufacturing and control.  We now have first generation home robots dedicated to folding our clothes.

Smart Home Electronics
Where would I even begin here? I’ll continue dedicated posts on this topic.

Renters
Home ownership is at all time lows, and rentals are growing.  Millennials moving to major cities and renting smaller spaces are leading the charge, and are likely driving the trend. Many of these young adults desire smarter homes extending their already broadly connected lives.

There are 100 million renters living in the United States.

Renters have unique needs in home automation, especially in Smart Home automation.

Requirements include:
Easy to install
Easy un-installs
Limited (or no) holes in walls, cables, mounting brackets…
Ability to stand alone, and provide all desired capabilities
Just to name a few.

Many products, especially leading edge products like smart home automation toys get designed to appease early adopters.

Many reasons for that, including with crowd-funding today these folks are paying for the first round products.

All products (and systems), attempting to sell to the masses must surpass the 15-18 percent adoption rate, where the system tips.

The first 0-10% are early adopters. Approach 20% and the system tips.

The next 60-70% of consumers will purchase, eventually.

The final 10% will buy only when the existing solution no longer exists.

Some Smart Home companies are now targeting beyond the early adopters, and factoring in future trends.

One forward looking company is Astroautomation. I have no affiliation, and these guys are an early startup. But I love the implications.

Follow Astro on Twitter or Tumblr.

Please comment, let me know what areas of home automation you’d like to explore in the future.

Home automation doesn’t have to be expensive or complicated.  Be brave and try some Practical Home Automation.
