(Edited this post to aggregate links to new stuff…Thank you to all who contribute!) CES is just underway. I thought a thread for new stuff and announcements would be good. Two so far that I thought this group might like. Chamberlain Notifi - LED light, camera and doorbell in one. Uses power from l…

I hear you on the “non-geek factor.” But I guess I was really talking about people in the Smart Things community. These are people who want to connect it to their IoT and communicate with other devices. That means ANY connected thermostat can be programmed to emulate a good majority of Nests better …

[image] Lupismaximus: The thing that I think Nest brings for a lot of common folks is presence detection and remote administration. It is the first thermostat to have these feature and have the ability to turn down the thermostat, to a desired set point, when you are away Sorry, incorrect st…

[image] malthus86: ANY connected thermostat can be programmed to emulate a good majority of Nests better features for much less money and within this community, these are people who are going to do it. Totally agree with this. I have one of the earlier smart thermostats - Filtrete 3M-50. I in…

The ecobee 3 with 5 remote sensors is in the end more expensive than a nest, but it has an open api and the remote sensors actually allow it to operate in “learning/smart” mode. My temps have never been this stable throughout the house before. They are promising to open the data from the remote sens…

@darrylb So predictable. My comment was in response to @malthus86 , regarding his questioning of Nest. Look… someone is always going to say someone did something sooner than the other. Apple had the first successful personal computer, prior to IBM PC coming out. Guess who sold more units? Sony …

Okay, to get off the Nest and back to the CES announcements, were there any pricing or pictures of new products? I don’t recall seeing any.

And the official blog article with a different box picture: [image] New Hardware, Premium Services, and Integrations To kick off this year’s International Consumer Electronics Show, SmartThings CEO, Alex Hawkinson, joined Samsung’s president and CEO, BK Yoon, on stage to deliver an openin…

Looks fairly solid, liking the improvements, but from that article there are a lot of “maybes” and unknowns for a product hitting shelves in a couple months!

When Boy Genius Report connected his Somfy shades , they worked “wonderfully.” When I connect mine, they show up as dimmers and ignore my commands half of the time. What did BGR do differently? I tried @chriswood1001 ’s custom device type, but it’s kinda confusing: It toggles between the MY position …
