On this week’s Internet of Things Podcast, Kevin and Stacey discuss the Essential Phone from Andy Rubin’s new company that features teases a new connected home assistant. Kevin and I discuss what we know, and Kevin also explains a surprise decision he’s made regarding Google (here’s the link he mentions during the show). We also discuss Apple’s potential AI chips, ARM’s new designs and a way to add capacitive touch to wood! Finally, I share my WeMo dimmer switch thoughts.
Bret Greenstein, VP of Watson IoT for Consumer Business at IBM, is our guest. He shares a bit about Watson and IoT, but his biggest service might be his help breaking down how analytics, machine learning and AI all relate.
Hi Stacy, this is Tony big fan enjoy your podcast and also listen to you on TWiG.
My comment/question is about the Wemo dimmer that you talked about on this show, vs the Leviton dimmer, also no hub required, I think you mentioned that you said you reviewed which I cannot find?
I know you like the Lutron, but I am afraid that my wife will not like the complexity compared to the Decora style paddle switch.
I would be interested on your thoughts on the Leviton, I know Leo asked you to review cameras on TWiG maybe review smart switches/hub no hub also.
Thanks, Tony
