A better home office sounds simple until you start connecting two computers, multiple displays, docks and a KVM switch. Brian Flanigan-Arthurs joins me for HGG694 to talk about what worked, what didn’t, and how Claude helped troubleshoot the setup. We also get into practical outdoor lighting, home security and a Tesla road trip that ended with a very unexpected “take over immediately” warning.
Christian Johnson returns to Home Gadget Geeks to discuss AI-powered coding, useful older PCs, local models on an RTX 3090, managed Docker hosting and the growing importance of security updates.
Erin Lawrence returns to HGG692 with IFA Berlin robotics, DJI cameras, ECOVACS robot vacuums, AI TVs, Mazda CX-70, GM Super Cruise, smart lighting and the question of whether smarter gadgets are becoming too complicated.
Phil Hawthorne joins me to talk Home Assistant AI automation, the upcoming 2026.10 release, Tesla Full Self-Driving, smarter energy monitoring, climate zones and a 3D-printed presence-sensor planter. We also discover why my Home Assistant Container installation had fallen several releases behind.
Gavin Campbell is back, and this one turns into a tour of what happens when Home Assistant stops being a dashboard and starts becoming the operating system for the house. We talk through Gavin’s first Tesla, garage-door automation, water and leak monitoring, ESPHome projects, lawn and soil sensors, emergency power, camera systems and the growing role AI can play in making sense of all that home data.
