I haven't heard this particular podcast yet but it's definitely
something I'm planning to listen to. I'm very interested in smart home
technology, as it really opens up so many opportunities for us as blind
consumers. I'd love to hear about your own experiences with any sort of
smart home technology, whether it's from a provider like Comcast, a
do-it-yourself setup or using devices like smart plugs or thermostats.
Very recently my wife and I purchased an Ecobee thermostat, which I've
successfully integrated with both Xfinity Home and our Echo devices. I
started to set it up with Apple's Homekit, which should allow me to
control the thermostat using Siri but Homekit seems much harder to set
up and so I temporarily put that project on hold until this weekend.

The Blind Side Podcast 101, the smart home from a blindness
perspective, part 1
The smart home offers the potential for greater independence and control of our home environment. But it’s a bit of a jungle out there, full of disparate systems and many choices. Then, of course, some solutions are more accessible with screen reading technology than others. We begin our series on the smart home from a blindness perspective with some of our listeners offering thoughts and demonstrations.
