@dmoren Heard you talking on @clockwise about the second mortgage you’d need to take out on your house in order to buy smart shades. A good friend of mine says that the smart shades from IKEA are quite good. I don’t know if all of them are HomeKit-compatible but at least some of them are, and they’re inexpensive as you’d hope.

Bose released the API documentation for speakers that reached the end-of-support and updated the accompanying app to work offline. Which is great compared to other companies, but as the article says, also "is the least that smart device makers can do before discontinuing customers’ beloved devices."

Happy #NewYear! To kick off 2026, I've revisited all the new #selfhosted software launches I covered in my weekly #newsletter in 2025 and have published a listing of them below for anyone new to my content.
(The list starts in February due to a revamped tracking process I implemented earlier this year.)

In a non-holiday post, wondering if folks use water sensors around the house, to alert you for leaks?
Slowly realizing that now the basement is finished, having something like this near the water heater is a new requirement.
Not seeing anything that l uses an app or is a company I recognize, and hoping for personal experiences.
Thanks, all.
