Gavin Campbell with Home Assistant’s Local Voice AI, mmWave Sensors, Zigbee vs. Z-Wave, 3D Printing and Smart Lawn Watering–HGG588 - a podcast by Jim Collison

Gavin Campbell joins me this week as we talk about how Home Assistant introduces a local voice assistant with wake words. Gavin is enthusiastic about mmWave sensors, Aqara FP2, which can detect people, even when stationary. Zigbee vs. Z-Wave gets a mention as Gavin upgrades to the Zooz ZST39 Z-Wave 800 controller. 3D printing is a recent interest, used for creating smart shutter controllers. Gavin’s year-long experiment with smart lawn watering is summarized, along with enhancements to his pool using temperature and water level sensors. All that and a quick update on CEDIA. Thanks for listening! Full show notes, transcriptions
