On the topic of Wi-Fi: then your kids must never grow up.
Let’s say there’s Mom, Dad, and two kids. Mom is watching her favorite soap opera streamed on the TV, Dad is browsing the internet (including YouTube) looking for instructions to fix the troublesome washing machine. Junior, who just turned 16, is gaming online on the PlayStation with friends, meanwhile running a group voice chat on his phone. The daughter, only 12 years old, is browsing YouTube and Instagram, all in HD of course. Her friend is sitting next to her on their phone, fully engaged.
Show me a Wi-Fi channel that wouldn’t collapse under all that traffic. Exactly for situations like this, you need one or another wired connection. The console and TV can reduce their bandwidth demand on the Wi-Fi by using Ethernet cables, freeing up space to supply the mobile devices with enough speed.
If, like Nordlys for example, you mostly have peace and quiet from the youth, then Wi-Fi alone is generally sufficient. But with kids around, it becomes a tricky issue, and it doesn’t take long for them to start blaming each other for slow internet.

And now I'm going to enjoy a scoop of ice cream.
Bye!
- Open and close the jeans button remotely via mobile device.
- Get real-time information about wear condition/dirt level.
- Create a network with my sweaters and T-shirts, as long as they are from Levis.
And now I'm going to enjoy a scoop of ice cream.
Bye!

Bye! That’s definitely debatable... no doubt. The only useful feature so far: indication if salt is missing, within the KNX visualization.

I don’t doubt that – but can I also empty the dishwasher remotely then? I really can’t think of any reason why I would want to connect my dishwasher to the internet. Refrigerator (temperature alert, door open alert), washer and dryer (they’re in the basement and let me know when they’re done), car (battery empty/charged/remote climate control)… I can imagine many reasons for other things to be onlineThat’s exactly the level manufacturers currently label as “smart.” A ton of apps for unnecessary functions without real added value. And if the coffee machine gets an app next, it’ll just have a smart plug added as well.

In the past, people spent hours experimenting with the right settings, for example, for a latte: amount of coffee, amount of milk, amount of foam, coffee temperature, milk temperature, and so on... now you simply download "recipes" and try settings from other users.

chand198623 Aug 2018 17:33And I, being silly, make filter coffee just by setting these parameters: coffee variety, grind size, amount of coffee grounds / amount of water, water temperature. Done. A little bit of trial and error, done.
Seriously though: why should I skip the enriching part of the process (figuring it out myself)? I could have all my meals delivered, but I don’t.
I don’t understand why things like coffee brewing, which you can consciously use to slow down the hectic everyday life, should be optimized with computer assistance.
Let me know if I start sounding like Karsten…
