🏀 The Ultimate March Madness Hack: YouTube TV Multiview

​If you aren't using YouTube TV Multiview yet, you’re doing tournament season wrong! 📺🔥

​This feature has been a game-changer for years, but it just keeps getting better. It’s no longer just about the pre-selected "Quad Box" views—now, YouTube TV lets you build your own Multiview.

​If you don't like the games they’ve paired together, you can actually pick the specific matchups you want to see on one screen.

​Pro-Tip from the Smarter Home team:

​Custom Selection: Start watching a game, press down, and look for "Build a Multiview" to mix and match up to 4 live games.

​Audio Control: Use your remote to toggle the white border between games to instantly switch the sound.

​Seamless Tech: Because the processing happens on Google’s servers, it works flawlessly even on older smart TVs without any lag.

​March Madness was made for this tech. Who do you have winning it all? 🏆👇

34 HOURS LATER... 🐍✨

​The wait is finally over! Our massive articulated snake is officially off the bed and it is even cooler than we expected. Brooks was ready to see if this 34-hour marathon print would actually slide off in one piece—and the H2C did not disappoint!

​The detail on these scales is insane, and the movement is so smooth. This might be our favorite project yet. What should we print next?

​

03/02/2026

We’ve officially started our longest print yet! ⏳ Brooks and I are taking on this massive articulated rattlesnake—32 hours of precision printing and we’re only 5% of the way there.

​One of the reasons this print takes so long is the sheer number of color changes required for those realistic scales. Luckily, the AMS (Automatic Material System) handles the swaps seamlessly, allowing for that incredible multi-colored Eastern Diamondback detail without us lifting a finger.

​Now we just have to wait… stay tuned to see the final reveal! 🤞✨

30+ lights on a single floor? That’s a lot of walking if you’re still using standard switches. 🏃‍♂️💨

​We’re out here in Big Sky showing off why Lutron Lighting Control isn’t just a luxury—it’s a necessity. Instead of a wall full of switches (aka “wall acne”), we condense everything into one elegant keypad.

Instead of manually turning ON or OFF 20 different buttons multiple times a day, you can press one button to adjust to a totally curated lighting scene with each fixture tuned to the proper intensity.

​One tap takes you from “Bright” for cooking to “Relax” for those mountain views. It’s about more than just light; it’s about setting the vibe instantly on this incredible home built by this amazing team of people.

There is "motorized," and then there is Lutron Palladiom. We love how these shades in Stratus fabric compliment this beautiful office designed by and

​Why we love the Lutron lineup:

The Palladiom Edge: When the architecture calls for an exposed look, Palladiom is in a league of its own. With hand-finished metal brackets and a minimalist profile, these aren’t just shades—they’re a design statement that shines above anything else on the market.

Versatility for Every Space: From the ultra-reliable Triathlon series to the Roller 100, we have a solution for every window. Whether you want a clean pocket application for a "now you see it, now you don't" look, or a sleek matching fascia/cover, we can tailor the hardware to your home's aesthetic.

Intelligent Hembar Alignment: This is the Lutron signature. No matter which model you choose, your shades stay perfectly synchronized within 1/8th of an inch. Every shade moves in unison, creating those crisp, level lines that define a luxury smart home.

Reliable Tech: Using Clear Connect technology, these shades offer whisper-quiet operation and 100% reliability, integrating seamlessly with your lighting and HVAC.
From hidden pockets to exposed Palladiom, we bring the best in automation and user friendly control experience.

I’m at Chicago Midway, and the airport security game just leveled up. No more digging for your wallet or praying you didn’t leave your license in the car. Just a quick tap with Digital ID and a facial scan, and you’re through! 🛡️✨

​What you need to know: 🧐

Where can you use it? It’s growing fast! It's currently at over 25 airports including Midway, O'Hare, ATL, LAX, JFK, DFW, and LAS. TSA is planning to expand this to 65 airports by the end of this spring!

​Yes, it works on Android too! Whether you’re team iPhone (Apple Wallet) or team Android (Google Wallet/Samsung Wallet), you can use this tech. Google Wallet rolled out passport-based IDs late last year, so almost everyone with a modern smartphone can get in on this.

​A Little History: This isn't brand new, but it’s finally hitting the mainstream. TSA started testing "Touchless Identity" back in 2020/2021 (starting in Detroit and Atlanta). Since the REAL ID enforcement kicked in last May, these digital versions have become the gold standard for speed.

​Privacy Check: The system uses Credential Authentication Technology (CAT). It verifies you in seconds, and TSA deletes the photo immediately after you're cleared.

We’re seeing a ton of debate in the comments about this new humidification setup. Let’s talk about the mesh nebulizer concept: How does this differ from traditional HVAC humidifiers?

​Traditional whole-home systems usually rely on the furnace to "wick" moisture off a pad or boil water into a duct. It works, but it’s a "one-size-fits-all" approach. Here is how this high-tech alternative changes the game:

​🔬 Point-to-Point Precision: Instead of dumping moisture into your ducts (where it can sometimes lead to mold if not managed perfectly), this system uses distributed mesh nebulizers. These pharmaceutical-grade heads vibrate water into ultra-fine droplets (0.3 microns) directly at the source—blending into your room’s air instantly without dampness.

​💧 The Power of Treated Water: The biggest risk with any "cool mist" or ultrasonic system is "white dust" or aerosolizing minerals from tap water. This system solves that by requiring multi-stage Reverse Osmosis (RO) and UV-C sterilization. You aren't just breathing moisture; you’re breathing purified, clinical-grade v***r.

​🛡️ Safety First (The Trade-offs): High performance comes with high responsibility. Because this system runs pressurized water lines through your home, it’s built with industrial-grade safeguards:

​Automatic Water Shut-offs: If a leak is detected, the system kills the water supply immediately to protect your home.

​Self-Flushing Cycles: To prevent stagnant water or biofilm in the lines, the system automatically flushes itself out regularly even in summer months when it's not being used.

​💰 Is it worth it? It’s definitely a premium investment compared to a $500 furnace unit.

But for larger homes with high-end millwork, fine art, or family members with sensitive respiratory needs, this level of control is a total game-changer.

​Education is key—know the risks, understand the tech. 🏠✨ This specific implementation was part of a pilot group of US customers to test demand and ability to roll this product into the US market. It will be interesting to see if it reaches economy of scale.
