August x Airbnb - The smart way to rent out your home

By
One of the biggest trends coming out this year for all you travel addicts out there? Smart home tech . And while these automated appliances and home fixtures may seem far from the realm of travel, we’ve found that they’re surprisingly not—especially if you’re interested in turning your home into a vacation rental. If there’s only one “smart” home tool that you invest in before creating your AirBnB host profile, make it Yves Behar’s beautifully designed smart lock,  August . Here’s how it works. The August lock system attaches to nearly any kind of existing lock structure. Once installed, use August’s companion app to give “keys” to anyone you’d like—they simply need to download the app, enable Bluetooth, and have their phone within a few feet of your door to be let in. One of our favourite features? The lock is only visible from inside your apartment, keeping the exterior keyhole intact. That means nobody needs to know you’re running a high-tech home, and you still

WHY THE F**** am I not (vol. 2) MARK ZUCKERBERG?

By
Mark Zuckerberg hates Nickelback- but only his Smart Home knows! Lately we from Smart Home Weekly were talking about Bill Gates Smart Home and we became a little bit jealous. As we like to dream we decided to have a look into the home of the next Billionaire! When Mark Zuckerberg tells Jarvis – his artificial intelligence Smart Home device to play some music it will most likely play the Red Hot Chili Peppers. When someone in Marks house would ever have the idea of requesting Nickelback, Jarvis would answer the following: “I’m sorry, Mark, I’m afraid I can’t do that. There are no good Nickelback songs.” When Mr. Facebook then wants to leave the house he wouldn’t do so without the opinion of his personal dresser. Of course this is also Jarvis! At the same time this intelligent device already arranged Marks breakfast, lunch or dinner because she know what her “client” wants. Maybe this is why Mark is not using Alexa: #SmartHome #MarkZuckerberg #sma

Um zu verhindern, dass dies ein weiteres Mal passiert, können Sie jetzt Ihr Aquarium fernsteuern. Vieles der Technik, die in einem Aquarium eingebaut ist, kann auch ferngesteuert oder umprogrammiert werden. Damit sind die Fische während Ihrer Sommerferien gut versorgt. Unter anderem ist es möglich, Temperatur, Wasserstand, Sauerstoff- oder CO2-Gehalt, Licht und Futter zu überwachen und aus der Ferne zu regulieren. Besonders bequem ist es hierbei, sein Aquarium via Smartphone fernzusteuern. Egal ob Fischteich oder Aquarium, mit verschiedenen Smart Home-Lösungssystemen regeln Sie den Sauerstoffgehalt, die Wasserqualität und die Fütterung über eine Smartphone-App  - vorausgesetzt die entsprechenden Sensoren oder Geräte sind im Becken installiert.

By
Generation Babyboomers? Diese Zeiten sind vorbei.. Millennials haben vor lauter Cluberöffnungen und Yoga Kursen wirklich keine Zeit mehr für sowas wie Kinder. Welch ein Zeitraub!

Nur weil meine French Bulldog mir nicht halb so viel Arbeit beschert wie ein Kind, heißt das nicht, dass unsere geliebten Vierbeiner uns egal sind! Besorgte Hunde Eltern können ihr zu Hause im Handumdrehen in ein hundefreundliches Smart Home verwandeln! Sogenannte „Tracker“ verfolgen Deinen Weggefährten nicht nur per GPS. Die Sensoren merken auch wie sich dein Hung fühlt. Mittels des Herzschlags kann das Herrchen erkennen, ob das Tier glücklich oder aufgeregt ist. So kann sogar festgestellt werden, ob Gefahr droht!

The problem is well-known to all pet owners around the world: the desk at work is overcrowded and overtime is on. The four-legged friend is waiting at home and is hungry. Nowadays this problem can be overcome thanks to smart home technology. The smart home device Petnet could be the new gadget that makes life easier for pet owners and animals. The Petnet "Feeder" is controlled via WIFI and can be operated from anywhere in the world via smartphone (iOS and Android). A simple click in Petnet's mobile application allows you to feed your pet while you're away. Motor driven, a portion of feed is left from the reservoir into a bowl that is available to the animal. Using the app, the holder can specify with precise tablespoon-units how much food should be given to the animal. The reservoir tank holds 2.3 or 4.6 liters capacity and so far it can only be administered dry food. Petnet can remember the feeding times and feed on a regular basis. Furthermore,

They can learn your habits and adjust your home based o
