Amazon just revealed their new smart lock, and here's my initial take on what will definitely be a very popular device for Ring camera owners...

[Automate Your Life @AutomateYouLife]

Aliro support in Google and on Android base. Took a while, but...

[Anish Kattukaran @AnishKattukaran]

Pretty excited to see @GoogleHome roll out support for home keys in @GoogleWallet!

This means you can tap your @Android phone to quickly and securely unlock compatible smart locks.

Oh and here's a pro tip: If both your phone and lock support Aliro Ultra-Wideband, you can unlock your door automatically as you walk up to it. Magic!

Check how it works: https://t.co/fBeBYnMBVQ

Nice update actually

[Aqara @AqaraSmarthouse]

Camera updates are on the way!

Our Aqara product team has started a new thread on the Aqara Forum sharing the firmware update plan for our cameras. Here’s what’s coming:

Camera Hub G350: ONVIF support is in development and will arrive with the next firmware update.

Doorbell Camera G400: Local facial recognition is coming, for faster responses in your automations. It’s expected around the end of November.

Doorbell Camera Hub G410: When someone rings the bell, the Aqara Home app will pop up a video call, starting with the next app version.

The best part? The team is taking your requests. Leave your feature ideas in the thread, and they’ll be prioritized based on community feedback.

Direct from Claude. A Home Assistant OS ready design. Wild stuff coming to our world of smart tech. Watch that video.

[Claude @claudeai]

During pre-release testing, Claude Fable 5.2 and Claude Mythos 5.2 worked on ambitious projects in many different fields. Here are a few.

From a one-paragraph prompt, Fable 5.2 designed three working electronic devices, including this home voice assistant hub.

@Quanta74 Ahahahaha yeah this is about 4 years behind schedule. But here it is!

[Automate Your Life @AutomateYouLife]

Wait.

[Panos Panay @panos_panay]

Introducing Ring Robotics, a new category of autonomous security launching with two products: Ring Drone Cam and Ring Rover Cam.

I’m so pumped to share what the team has been working on. Incredibly cool technology that puts security in motion. Details here: https://t.co/Wu97iz0pRI

@KSchneider24 Poor rover

What if?

[Magic Wonders @itsmagicwonders]

What if a magic wand actually worked? 🪄

Meet Wand One: an interactive wand to make your life more magical.

It's more than a product. We're building a world where imagination becomes interaction.

✨ Follow us on Kickstarter and be part of the magic: https://t.co/rBlQBFkC6J

People are so confused as to what the pricing is and what they get. Cloud AI has a major issue. Just read the comments.

[Claude @claudeai]

We’re renaming our Max plans:

Max 5x → Max
Max 20x → Ultra

Max is still $100/month, and Ultra is still $200. If you’re a subscriber, there’s nothing you need to do.

We’re also removing the 5-hour limit for verified Ultra accounts, starting today with most existing subscribers. Newer accounts keep a temporary limit until they’re verified, which helps us prevent fraud and abuse. You'll get an email when it's removed.

Weekly limits remain unchanged. View our plans here: https://t.co/niRpyGF5Me

@JashSayani Wait what??

[Automate Your Life @AutomateYouLife]

The comments say it all

[Panos Panay @panos_panay]

[Automate Your Life @AutomateYouLife]

@ConquerDivision It got rough in spots. Sometimes deservedly so though.

[Automate Your Life @AutomateYouLife]

The most interesting release this time imo.

But isn’t that the Echo Spot?

[Panos Panay @panos_panay]

This is one of my favorite launches today. Our new Echo Time was built for better sleep.

Set your alarm so it can detect when you’re in a light sleep and gradually start waking you up at the best time.

I’ve been missing this in New York this week! A loud phone alarm in a dark hotel room is tough after getting used to the wake-up experience on the Echo Time.

Sweet

[Franck Nijhof | Home Assistant & Smart Home @Frenck]

This might be the biggest thing I've shipped in Home Assistant. And also the most boring one.

HACS is now built in, as the Marketplace. If we did it right, you'll barely notice.

I wrote down how I look at it, and why it's called that 👇

[Automate Your Life @AutomateYouLife]

@Mericamemed Nailed every generation

[Automate Your Life @AutomateYouLife]

@RobertJBye I would, but I'm still reading the last response. It'll be a few days. ;)

[Automate Your Life @AutomateYouLife]

The funniest thread of all time.

[Porsche @Porsche]

Mission S.

Authentic. Consistent. Timeless.

A glimpse into the future - shaped by our heritage. Mid-engine architecture. A focus on the driver and the driving experience.

Call it a love letter.

[Automate Your Life @AutomateYouLife]

Well, I bought @Apple Homeview. I feel like Canada is too expensive.

$450 to go pick it up from a store. Woof.
