The best smart home technology should be simple, robust, future-proof and non-invasive. So, are current smart home tech options up to the challenge, how is it changing, and how can we make the most effective use of it in our homes?
Spaces. They influence every part of our lives – our health, wealth and happiness. Each week on the Spaces podcast, Sam Buckby shares the insights of leading building and design experts to help make our buildings smarter and create healthier and happier spaces.
