Computers are starting to be built into new houses and apartments. Would you like a computer to control your house for you?

[cupidkisses]

Yes

No

[HungLikeAHorsefly]

A friend of mine, who is an engineer at my company, built his own home automation system. It's all voice controlled without Alexa or anything like that. Lights only turn on in the room he's currently in, and if he leaves they "follow" him. His blinds adjust themselves to the time of day and weather (sunny or not). The HVAC system sets the temperature depending on the weather, time of year, historical patterns, and other factors without using a Nest. He most recently modified an aromatherapy device to respond to voice commands, and to have the system turn it off after it hears him snoring.

Personally, I'm not that invested in it. I'm planning to just buy a home automation system.

[ZanyInternetName]

Fuck no. I like my house to be analogue. I don't want anything to do with smart appliances or the Internet of things. I don't want a Roomba and I don't want a WiFi enabled crockpot. I don't need those things, meaning that they have only drawbacks for me.

[alice55]

No, where I live there's too much electricity problem to get that.

[Jaximus-Lion]

A computer can't control any house. It's a tool that can helps you to control your house.
If i get one, i will the (admin) of my own computer controlling it the way i want and it would be pretty handy.

[Gerpar]

Yeah, it would be nice to have things be automated, more efficiency is always better. Probably just my technophile side talking though.

[MrMysteryMan]

News flash, computers are still controlling your house. Just we have more control over them instead of autonomous.

[andreasderjuengere]

Not. At. All. I could not trust my own house, because I would not know who hacked into my computer.

[SecondGuy]

Another thing to get hacked. Fuck that. I like my key fitting the door and nobody else has it. Someone else controlling the lights, tv, heat, a/c...

[monkeynutts]

I'm the man of the house not some programed machine.

[LegateLanius]

I want to have control over them, not have them be autonomous.

[the_sinner]

Yeah

I'd like my house to be fully automated but I should be the master controller of the whole AI system.

[aahmedaa]

The computer will control the house and I'll control the computer

[jacquesvol]

No , computer system have too much glitches

[pizzalovershouse]

no way just nakes us more lazy

[2opaz]

It would make home invasions easier

[CuriousMufuxka]

[F7777]

[Iamanintrovert]

That's my dream

[haremhan]
