Jonathan MosenI’m surrounded by boxes. We’ve finally finished all the modifications, and we can move into our dream home tomorrow.
I’m sitting here looking at the house’s own website where we can control everything from, and the iOS app, and I’m awe struck by what we’ve built. I just hope it’ll be a very long time before we move again because I’m not sure we’ll ever do this so well again.
We got so lucky with the company I picked for this project. He wasn’t super knowledgable about #accessibility when we started working together, but he took me seriously and got into the challenge of finding the best options. I’m sure there will be shortcomings we identify once we actually live there, but we have the fundamentals right and the infrastructure, so it’ll be fun to tweak it and watch it grow.
I told Bonnie to say goodbye to the house when she left it this afternoon. It responded by turning off the Sonos, turning off the TV, and after sixty seconds it locked the door and set the alarm.
The visual descriptions it gives over all the Sonos’s of who is at the door, when it doesn’t recognize the person by name, are so detailed and vidid. And on and on and on. I’m really thrilled by what we’ve ended up with.
But there is one final thing I would say about this. It’s been a fun project, but even if we were moving into a tin shack, it would be a palace as long as Bonnie is there too.
