Roborock Saros 10 Review: 22,000Pa of Robot Vacuum Domination

The AC Infinity Room to Room Fan 8" moves air between adjacent rooms quietly and intelligently with temperature-controlled automation. It is the cheapest fix for hot office or server room problems.

The Philips Hue A19 White and Color Ambiance bulb remains the gold standard for smart lighting. Reliable, expandable, and integrated with literally every smart home platform that exists.

Home Assistant 2026.4 drops today with the feature IR blaster owners have been begging for: native infrared remote control support. No more custom integrations, no more Broadlink workarounds, no more HACS dependencies. IR devices are now first-class citizens in HA. Combined with improved climate entity handling and media player controls, this is a release that makes your dumb devices smart without replacing them.

The Aqara U100 delivers genuine Apple Home Key support and reliable fingerprint unlocking in a weatherproof package. While installation can be tricky and the app experience is inconsistent, it's one of the few locks that truly works seamlessly with HomeKit.

The Govee H5179 is a budget-friendly WiFi temperature and humidity sensor that offers remote monitoring and free cloud storage for 2 years. In this review, we test its accuracy, app experience, and how it stacks up against alternatives like SensorPush and Govee's Bluetooth models.

I have taken the UniFi Travel Router on multiple trips now, including a recent New Orleans trip where I set up a UniFi G6 Instant camera for hotel room security through Teleport VPN. The hardware is phenomenal for $79, the Teleport integration is magic, but hotel WiFi captive portal reauthentication killed my setup after 6-8 hours. One software update could make this a 10/10 product.

Home Assistant 2026.3 is the most user-friendly release in recent memory. The visual automation editor finally makes complex automations accessible to non-YAML warriors, and the voice assistant pipeline improvements make Assist genuinely competitive with Alexa for basic commands. This is the release you show your skeptical spouse to prove HA is not just for nerds.

The first Home Assistant release of 2026 focuses on polish and performance. As someone running HA on dedicated hardware managing 200+ entities across UniFi, Nest, Hue, and Z-Wave devices, this update delivered noticeable speed improvements in the dashboard and energy management that actually matters for my monthly reporting.
