I love writing about smart home tech because it's in this wonderful place between "complete mess" and "oh wow, this is really happening." Each year, the gadgets get fancier and smarter, but a lot of the core problems still haven't been solved.

Case in point: connecting everything. It's hard! To the extent where lots of companies exist and will charge you lots of money in order to set up and maintain all the smart tech in your home.

The tech has gotten better and better so that consumers can now do much of this on their own. But there are still big limitations, and I think our latest episode of Home of the Future does a good job of highlighting the smart home's many promises — and limitations.
