After years of neglect, the connected home ecosystem is getting the business equivalent of a fresh coat of paint, new window treatments, and a fix for its leaky roof.
Iโll get to the details of Rokuโs potentially neighbood-changing plans to power connected homes, Samsungโs Galaxy S23 smart home compatibility expansion, and signs of progress with Matter smart home standard thatโs supported by Amazon, Apple, Google, Samsung, and others.
To me, this spate of connected home activity brings me back to 2018. Expectations were high then. The American home was on the cusp of having all our electronic gear, gadgets, appliances, and entertainment systems seamlessly interacting from bed to kitchen to living room to garage.
