Wyze launches new battery-powered doorbell alongside solar-powered pan camera

Wyze is launching a new, more affordable battery-powered video doorbell as well as a new tilt and pan camera that just needs an hour of sunlight to keep running. Available starting today, the Wyze Solar Cam Pan is the latest addition to the company’s tilt-and-pan lineup. This new option is similar to the base Cam Pan V3, but with the addition of a built-in solar panel. The panel can be directly mounted alongside the camera itself, or mounted nearby on a wire to get better sun exposure. Wyze says that the high-efficiency ETFE solar panel needs just an hour of sunlight per day for continuous power with a battery inside that keeps the camera running when solar charging isn’t available. Like other tilt-and-pan cameras from Wyze, it can obtain a 360-degree view and 70-degree vertical view. The ...

Airbnb is becoming more social by allowing users to connect with fellow travelers

5 simple network tests that fix most smart home issues

Building a smart home is typically a work in progress. Your home network is responsible for accessing and managing a variety of smart home devices. Whether you use Home Assistant or any other smart home software, you might run into network issues as the volume of devices grows. Network reliability is crucial to ensure that your smart home and automations work smoothly. Those smart home devices, at times, turn radio silent, keep dropping connections, or become unresponsive.

After checking the Wi-Fi signal strength with a Wi-Fi analyzer app and testing the connection speed for reliability, it's necessary to roll up sleeves. Here are some simple network tests that will help you fix most smart home i...

Pebble is back on the App Store, and it’s giving your old watches life again

Have you got an old Pebble device gathering dust somewhere? Well, it’s time to get it back out because the Pebble app is back and it’s breathing new life into old watches. Founder Eric Migicovsky announced on X that the Pebble app has returned to both the App Store and Google Play, and it’ll work with every Pebble device ever made. This is just the next step in Pebble’s revival. After being shut down following a sale to Fitbit nearly ten years ago, Pebble has announced two new devices and relaunched its app, giving you access to 2,000 apps, 10,000 watch faces, and the ability to revive old tech – even with your old Pebble login. This is pretty remarkable given most gadgets these days only have developer support for a number of years. Pebble’s dedication to its community might be in part du...

Here’s how fast AAWireless TWO+ switches between wireless Android Auto and CarPlay [Video]

AAWireless TWO+ is finally here to bring CarPlay support to what we think is the best wireless Android Auto adapter, and the way and speed at which it works is part of what makes it stand out from the crowd. Wireless Android Auto adapters started with AAWireless, but they’ve become a bit of a commodity at this point. You don’t have to go searching far to find one, nor do you even need to spend all that much money. The same can be said about CarPlay adapters, but there are not quite as many options for getting both platforms in one. So why bother with AAWireless TWO+? I think there are a couple of key reasons. First and foremost, there’s just the polish in the experience. AAWireless has spent the past few years building out the foundation of this product. The experience of using one of thes...
