Smart homes still aren't that smart—Dom Bettinelli, Joanne Mercier, and Thomas Sanjurjo unpack what's gone wrong. Plus: streaming 24/7, Nintendo's overreach, and cheating with AI in college. With insights, laughs, and solid tech picks. The post The Smart Home Letdown: Why the Future Still Isn't Plugged In appeared first on StarQuest Media.

Sarah Michelle Gellar and Alyson Hannigan stop by to discuss their recent partnership to raise awareness about Meningococcal disease. Also, Caroline Wanga shares all the life lessons she has learned in her new memoir, “I'm Highly Percent Sure.” And, Jenn Jolly shares all the tech gadgets to make life around the house simpler, safer and smarter.

Waking up to a home that not only offers convenience, but also helps save the planet, seems to be growing more achievable, with advancements in smart home technology. So, this week on Room by Room: The Home Organization Science Insights Podcast, host Marie Stella consults built environment senior lecturer Dr. Hing-Wah Chau to find out how smart home technologies can help us go green. With over 10 years of professional architectural experience in Hong Kong, Dr. Hing-Wah Chau currently serves as course chair in architectural design, as well as senior lecturer in built environment at Victoria University. Prior to his role at Victoria University, he spent eight years teaching architectural design at the University of Melbourne, too. His research interests lie in sustainable built environment, green architecture and infrastructure, and more. In this episode, Dr. Hing-Wah Chau stresses the importance of practicing sustainability in the home, and highlights the key factors homeowners should consider when selecting smart home devices and systems.  Together, Marie and Dr. Hing-Wah Chau canvass some lesser-discussed ethical concerns of using smart home technology, such as the hidden amount of data and energy required to power smart homes. So, tune in to this episode to learn more about the environmental advantages and disadvantages of utilizing smart home technology!

We're hosting a Scent Swap at Talea in Williamsburg on May 7th from 6-9 pm. It's free with RSVP. Bring at least one fragrance to swap and enjoy bevs & snacks from our host. If your idea of home fragrance involves sticky reed diffusers, sweeping up incense ash, or $80 candles, Pura offers something for the tech-savvy, with one of the first smart home app-controlled scent diffusion devices. More sophisticated than a flower-shaped plug-in and less treacherous than a forgotten candle left burning, Pura's device is a nifty hockey puck-sized disc that holds two different scent pods and can be controlled with an app to customize scent selection, timing, and intensity. We have VP of Fragrance Trevor Davis and Chief Fragrance Experience Officer Mara Dumski to explain the intricacies of how scents are deconstructed and rebuilt for different purposes like electronic diffusion.
