News

This section keeps you up to date with what is happening in the smart home and homelab world, with a focus on what matters in New Zealand. It also includes things I come across that are interesting, useful or worth knowing about if you are building a smart home here.

You will find:

• New product announcements and NZ availability
• Firmware or platform updates that affect Kiwi homes
• Notes on ecosystem changes for Apple, Google, Amazon and Home Assistant
• Local retailer news and interesting deals
• Short site updates and behind the scenes changes
• Things that I find relevant or interesting as I come across them

Posts here are shorter and more time sensitive than guides or reviews. Think of this as the part of Kiwi Smart Tech where you can quickly see what is happening right now.

More news posts will be added over time as I spot useful updates and interesting changes across the smart home space.
