Philips Hue alternative for “Lamp Stealer” using telnet | Paul Wouters at more then 140 chars (nohats.ca)
Place a bulb of the second starter kit into a socket within 30cm of the bridge from the first starterpack. Telnet to port 30000 of the bridge and type: [Link,Touchlink] The light should blink a few times to acknowledge the hostile takeover.

Internet-Enabled Cat Feeder (www.newtonnet.co.uk)
The torque required to turn the paddle could get quite high, particularly when food starts to get caught which it invariably does. I didn't measure it but it was certainly a fair old force required

Why Is My Smart Home So Fucking Dumb? (gizmodo.com)
It amazing how much you miss a simple old light switch when you have to pull out your phone, fumble through a poorly designed app, and then wait half a second for the light to turn on.

@tweethue I keep seeing references to being able to connect motion sensors or other ZigBee devices to the hub. Is that supported right now? -
The lights are all bright yellow this morning! Looks like it's going to be a sunny day! #homeautomation #hue #weather #launchpad

Just set up my Philips Hue bulbs to change color depending on the weather forecast! Should be a nice way to wake up tomorrow! #homeautomation

Apple is clearly up to more than they revealed with HomeKit in iOS 8 today. An iPhone can't control your home lights if you're away from home without some sort of connection.
If Apple adds HomeKit support to iCloud, then your phone would have a backend to talk to.
The next step would be getting some device to sit in your house to send the raw messages to all the devices. Maybe this will be built into the next Airports, or could be launched as a separate device. This device would be able to use the iCloud connection.
When you're away from home you could tell your phone to turn off the lights, it would send a message via iCloud which would be picked up by the base station at home. -
There is a spider making a web in front of the security camera, setting off the motion sensor all night. #homeautomation #edgecases

@peatbakke I do this at home by scanning the DHCP leases on my home router in real time. I get alerted within seconds of a friend approaching the house as their phone tries to hop on to my wifi!

Thanks to this ingenious "hack" of Siri, I can now say "turn off the lights" to my phone. http://delian.io/siri-open-the-garage
