Podcast: These are the features that matter in the smart kitchen

January 24, 2019 by Stacey Higginbotham Leave a Comment

Abode launched a new hub with 4G cellular and improved Z-wave security.

This week’s podcast kicks off with a discussion about property owners forcing smart apartments on renters. The discussion was sparked by a series of tweets. Kevin and I discovered the name of the company behind the service and cover some of the challenges associated with the proposition. (Here’s a hack of the device on GitHub.) From there we talk about various device and subscription cleanses and new low-power Wi-Fi chips. There’s also a new gateway for the abode security system, a setback for Microsoft’s Cortana and Kevin’s rediscovery of Node-RED. In our voicemail, we answer a question about finding smart lights that are equivalent to 100-watt bulbs.

Our guest this week is Michael Wolf, the creator of the Smart Kitchen Summit and publisher of The Spoon, which covers food tech. We talk first about the state of the smart kitchen and where various appliance manufacturers are in adopting connectivity. He then goes through all the major appliances and explains which features I should look for when I’m shopping for new white goods in the next 18 months or so, and if you’re needing any of your kitchen appliances repaired to look into sites such as https://www.appliancerepairinmurfreesboro.com/. We end with a discussion about the Wirecutter’s shocking (to us) review of the June oven. There’s a lot to talk about.
