Sony may be exiting UHD Blu-ray players, while Home Assistant absorbs HACS and Ubiquiti pushes deeper into Thread.
Show Notes
On this week's show: Sony may be done with standalone UHD Blu-ray players, HACS gets folded into Home Assistant as the Marketplace, SMLIGHT tries Zigbee over Ethernet, and Ubiquiti keeps expanding the UniFi empire with long-range PoE and Thread-ready Wi-Fi 7 access points. We also hit CEDIA award winners, Everything Smart Home joining Works with Home Assistant, a few smart-home community notes, a pick of the week, project updates, and so much more!
