Amazon just revealed their new smart lock, and here's my initial take on what will definitely be a very popular device for Ring camera owners...

People are so confused as to what the pricing is and what they get. Cloud AI has a major issue. Just read the comments.
We’re renaming our Max plans: Max 5x → Max Max 20x → Ultra Max is still $100/month, and Ultra is still $200. If you’re a subscriber, there’s nothing you need to do. We’re also removing the 5-hour limit for verified Ultra accounts, starting today with most existing subscribers. Newer accounts keep a temporary limit until they’re verified, which helps us prevent fraud and abuse. You'll get an email when it's removed. Weekly limits remain unchanged. View our plans here: claude.com/pricing

The most interesting release this time imo. But isn’t that the Echo Spot?
This is one of my favorite launches today. Our new Echo Time was built for better sleep. Set your alarm so it can detect when you’re in a light sleep and gradually start waking you up at the best time. I’ve been missing this in New York this week! A loud phone alarm in a dark hotel room is tough after getting used to the wake-up experience on the Echo Time.  Check it out: aboutamazon.com/news/devices…

Sweet
This might be the biggest thing I've shipped in Home Assistant. And also the most boring one. HACS is now built in, as the Marketplace. If we did it right, you'll barely notice. I wrote down how I look at it, and why it's called that 👇

The funniest thread of all time.
Mission S. Authentic. Consistent. Timeless. A glimpse into the future - shaped by our heritage. Mid-engine architecture. A focus on the driver and the driving experience. Call it a love letter.

Well, I bought @Apple Homeview. I feel like Canada is too expensive. $450 to go pick it up from a store. Woof.

This.
Apple Homeview with or without the base is priced at $299. How come most accessories are more expensive? It's like the iPhone case is more expensive than the iPhone. 🔔 Video Doorbell — $249.95 📹 Outdoor Camera — $299.95 💡 Floodlight Camera — $399.95 🔐 Smart Door Lock — $349.95

Automaters! Apple just held its Welcome home event and they finally showed up with real smart home hardware, a smart display, a new Apple TV, a HomePod mini and a lineup of locks, cameras and thermostats... so let me walk you through what's worth it and what I'd actually buy

HomePod mini 2 lands at $149, and honestly the HomeView and mini pricing feels reasonable to me, while the Apple TV price is a stretch... so if your Apple TV already runs your home, I'd keep it and put that $299 toward a HomeView or some Matter gear
