Hace unos meses cambié en casa el switch principal, ya sabes, ese que permite que todo siga funcionando aunque me quede sin Internet, el router se apague o la ONT decida morir. También es quién reparte el DHCP en mi red y, ahora, el que reparte alimentación PoE a varios elementos de casa. Te cuento el cambio y lo que puede estar por venir.

Me apetecía finalizar la semana haciendo un repaso a las últimas noticias relativas al mundillo de las empresas de telecomunicaciones de España. En las últimas semanas se han movido varias cosas en Movistar, MásOrange, Vodafone… e ¡incluso en Starlink! que me apetecía comentar.

La integración de las cámaras con HomeKit Secure Video (HKSV) es muy buena y funciona genial, hasta que nos vamos de casa y quedan invitados dentro de ella. Ahí todo se convierte en un infierno de notificaciones. La alternativa podría ser Home Assistant, pero ahí siento que me quedo a medias. ¿Tienes tú la solución?

Cuando hice el cambio de NAS, ya te conté que había aprovechado para modificar algunas cosas en la forma de monitorizar mi red y los distintos dispositivos de las casas de la familia. Te hablé de Beszel en un episodio anterior y aquí te cuento sobre UpTime Kuma, que es la otra pata de mi sistema actual.

Apple ha terminado su semana de renovación de productos con el esperado portátil barato. Un equipo al que le han recortado algunas cosas y que lleva un A18 Pro para costar solamente 600 € si eres estudiante.

Estas Navidades llegó a casa de mis padres una nueva barra de sonido Sonos Arc Ultra, con lo cual he tenido la oportunidad de compararla con mi Arc normal. Te cuento las diferencias técnicas que hay entre ellas y también mis sensaciones al probar las dos. ¿Merece la pena la nueva versión de la mejor barra de Sonos?

Apple sigue con su semana grande de actualización de productos y hoy le ha tocado el turno a los portátiles y a las pantallas. Chip M5 para todos y versiones Pro y Max para los que quieremos más potencia. La sorpresa quizás haya estado en la versión XDR de su pantalla más capaz.

In this episode of "Smart Home Insider," host Andrew is joined by guest Nelson Henry to dive into the latest developments in smart home technology.

They also explore the new Aliro standard for digital keys, its implications for smart locks, and the potential for increased interoperability across devices and ecosystems.

Un agente del FBI ya en retirada se enfrenta, junto con su unidad especial, a un ladrón padre de familia que tiene muy poca cabeza. Esta serie, de gran calidad técnica, va de menos a más.

En este jueves domótico te traigo la reseña del renovado Termostato de Netatmo, cuya versión original tengo en casa desde hace años. Su nuevo diseño es mucho más elegante y sin los problemas de la pantalla de tinta electrónica anterior. Además, dispone de dos nuevos botones para desatar comportamientos al llegar o marcharnos de casa. Sin duda una buena actualización, pero también tiene sus fallos.

On this week's show we review the Aqara FP2 Presence Sensor and ask are expensive audio wires bananas? We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news.  News: Netflix is about to stop working on some older smart TVs and consoles Another Cable TV Network Announces It Will Shut Down in April Broadband Usage Jumps by 9.9% in Q4 Peacock Strikes Gold With Outsized Olympics, Super Bowl Audiences Other: Neil Blanchard  "transmission line"Designs Aqara FP2 Presence Sensor Review The Aqara Presence Sensor FP2 (Buy Now $83) is a game-changer for smart home enthusiasts. Its standout feature is the ability to divide a room of 40㎡ or ~430 sq ft into multiple (up to 30) distinct zones using advanced mmWave radar technology. This allows for some really cool home automations like triggering kitchen lights when someone enters the boundary. This effectively allows one sensor to act like up to 30 allowing personalized scenes based on exact positions far beyond what standard motion sensors can do. Features:

On this week's show we discuss the details of Ara's new home's layout offering his perspectives on his choices for network, home theater, whole home audio and smart home functionality.  We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: Kodak Luma 500 - Review Launch date, channel list for YouTube TV sports plan revealed Sony, the pioneer of Blu-ray Disc recorders, to pull plug on sales Price concerns remain the leading reason for streaming cancelations Other:  IKEA Smart Home Without Dirigera: Homey Pro, Home Assistant, HomeKit, Google, Alexa & Aqara Ara's New Home Design (Network, Smart Home, and AV) Last week Ara was out in Franklin TN meeting with electricians and security contractors to prewire his house with everything he needs to make adding smart home devices and A/V a snap. So what did he do? But first an email from longtime listener Jorge Beltran with some recommendations. Jorge's email  Guys: I am listening to the latest episode on a train delay in freezing NJ.  I heard the question about sound bar vs 3.1 system vs full surround. I advocate that if money permits and a remodel situation allows it, I would significantly recommend trying to install 5.1, 7.2, or you name it. I have a full theater with 11.2 in the basement that we enjoy and I adore. But we keep watching more and more in the family room next to the kitchen for whatever reason.  And I do enjoy a lot having a surround setup there too and kept adding to it (it was pre wired on a remodel). There was a high WAF in that room, so I went with in-walls for fronts and in-ceiling for rear surround and a couple more for front ATMOS.  Yes, the surrounds and ceiling speakers are not at the ideal locations but they really, really add to the experience, even for the super bowl ambiance.   A friend of mine just upgraded his whole house and used KEF on-walls, very thin, good looking, placed a bit higher and almost looked like a decoration in a more contemporary home.  The wife gave them a big approval.  I checked after looking at my wife's face but are out of my price range. For you Ara, another friend, a latin party guy, installed 6 speakers on vaulted ceilings in the family room next to a kitchen and surrounded by windows, and they work really great. Thus, my vote for Ara is to add ceiling speakers on his vault for surround effects.  Ask the builder to wire them and box them out like a traditional speaker and place them on the rafters.  You build so many speaker boxes already, this one can be made of MDF.  Even better, build your own speaker out of parts, install it on the rafters just below the sheetrock, add a grill and you have the best sounding and looking in-walls ever. Last one, a builder friend just added in walls / in ceilings that go behind the sheetrock.  I have not seen them yet.  No excuses gents. Sending a CafPow for the extra spackle. Jorge Ara's Setup Wifi and Network decision - Ubiquiti Dream Wi-Fi 6 $350 & Ubiquiti Networks UniFi 7 Pro Access Point (POE) $180 Cameras, doorbell, motion sensors - Aqara 4MP Camera Hub G5 Pro PoE  $190 & Aqara Smart Doorbell Camera G410  $130 & Aqara Presence Sensor FP2, mmWave Radar Wired Smart Motion Sensor $58 Light switches - Lutron Caseta Original Smart Dimmer Switch Kit w/ Hub $115. I am only having the company install one or two, I will do the rest as I learn our new routine and decide which switches need automation. I will make use of lamp modules as I prefer those types of lights to recessed lights.  Whole Home Audio - Ara to build/buy speakers and connect to the network via ethernet cables using WiiM Amp: Multiroom Streaming Amplifier $300 TV and Home Theater - For the family room I will use a large format TV with a soundbar. Right now I am leaning towards Sonos Beam Gen 2 and their wireless subwoofer (Sonos Sub 4 $760). For my theater in an upstairs den I will do a traditional setup with atmos. It will consist of an UST, Receiver, and 7.1.2 speakers. Eventually I will build out a more formal theater in the basement. If I live long enough LOL No traditional Cable RG6

On this week's show: Ring's Super Bowl ad creeps everyone out with AI dog-finding (and maybe people-tracking) technology, TI drops $7.5 billion on Silicon Labs in a bold smart home chip move, Apple kills the old HomeKit just in time for Valentine's 2026, and SwitchBot dreams big with AI agents and RTSP cameras in a mystery lunchbox-shaped hub. Plus: a pick of the week, project updates, and so much more!
