What is Homesense?

What happens when you win

What happens when you fail

And people worked together…

Then the shit hits the fan…

but…

On Making a smart home

Wires are still a problem that will affect scale

Tools become quickly irrelevant, they arejust good starting points. Making in a more robust manner matters.

There is no such thing as a normal person

This will be a useful approach for othercommunities.

On doing research in a micro SME.

It’s risky and it relies on everything else going well.

The right people and the right partner matter.

Openess doesn’t mean you are protected.

Openess means everyone wins.

On open innovation.

R&D budgets are shrinking

Multi-disciplinarity & being close to yourusers is something corporations are bad at.

It’s cheaper and results are shared quickly.
