I think you post would be a lot easier to understand if you shot a video of of it and showed some common things you did on it/with it. I am all-in on home automation but I can't tell from your post why I would want to use this over my phone or voice assistant.


Thanks! I do plan to write some follow-ups on how the kiosk is used, but was afraid of the post getting too long. TBH the biggest benefit for me is what I said in the first sentence: that guests can use the kiosk (friends find it easy to use, and I'm also an Airbnb host sometimes).


Yeah, I assumed it was probably aimed at non-residents or non-technical-residents (the day I get my boyfriend to use an app to control anything will be the day pigs fly but at least he will use voice). I'll have to keep tabs on this as it does look really cool!
