After a ton of delays and a couple of false starts, IKEA announced today on its TRÅDFRI smart lighting app that it is finally rolling out HomeKit support for the TRÅDFRI smart lighting system. According to German Apple-focused news site Macerkopf, users who already own the TRÅDFRI lighting system will need to generate an eight-digit code in the IKEA app in order to manually add their bulbs to the Apple Home app. However, if you get a newer version of the system, there will be a code on the underside of the gateway that you can input. After that, you can use the Home app, Siri, and the TRÅDFRI app to control your lights. You’ll also be able to add them to scenes.

You might not want to try this next one if you’re using a shared bathroom at home. But if you can count on a reasonable amount of privacy, try leaving the bathroom door ajar next time you shower. The steam from hot water will travel from the bathroom into the rest of your home, combating dry and static-filled indoor conditions.

The new Corian Multi-basin Washplane from CASF pairs linear design with individualized form and function.

At launch, Wiser didn’t support IFTTT, but that has now been rectified with a new channel. The IFTTT channel has no Triggers and just one Action: toggle the Away mode on or off. That’s not that flexible, but being able to toggle Away mode at least means that you can create your own geolocation service, turning your heating off when you go out and back on when you return. For households with multiple people, you’re best off using the Life360 service to track locations, so that you don’t turn your heating off when there are still people at home.

Traian Ciobanu, director of engineering at the InterContinental Chicago Magnificent Mile, says 9 a.m. is the hotel’s peak period for showering. The 700-plus-room hotel pumps more than 55.000 gallons of water to all rooms.

I also found my adjustable pliers, remembering that a couple of the radiator valves were painted shut and might require a little more muscle to loosen them up. My wife, Marissa, eyed me suspiciously as I emerged from the cellar with these items and a testosterone-filled look in my eye.

Stormtech’s 65MND series grate is a uniquely designed architectural drainage system for many interior and exterior applications in contemporary and traditional environments. 

One of the peskiest hurdles in home automation is replacing your current home setup and re-learning habits. You go from flipping switches on walls to commanding virtual assistants with your voice or poking at a phone with your finger. And while you eventually do pick up the new habits, it can be a struggle instructing guests on how to control the lighting, heating and cooling, fans, blinds, etc. in your home.

Noise-reduction features: Positively pressurized, solid-state cabinet construction, full 1-inch R4.2 rated insulation, and a highly-efficient electronically commutated (EC) motor. The combination minimizes vibration and ensures quiet operation, as low as 24 dBA, across three different fan speeds. In addition, the PVA’s design creates a near airtight barrier, allowing for minimal air leakage. The result is whisper-quiet operation.

If we cross the street to the West side of Second, we can look in the store window of the Corvallis Cyclery at the corner of Second and Adams, and see a plaque which tells us that it’s the former site of the Oregon Territorial capitol building. The Capitol itself is long gone but don’t be sad – I’ve seen pictures, and it was nothing much. Crossing Adams, we see a small rectangle of old concrete which says ADAMS ST. set into a much newer slab. A piece of the old sidewalk has been preserved when the new sidewalk was poured, but why don’t we mark sidewalks with street names these days? And why don’t contractors put their names and the date that the sidewalk was poured on their work? I think it’s a shame that the only dates we see on sidewalks are from the 1910s and 1920s.

Today, tech accessory company iHome launched the iSP100 Outdoor Smart Plug — a tough, water-resistant HomeKit-enabled plug meant for outdoor use. It’s perfect for outdoor holiday decorations up to 1800 watts, and can be controlled via both Siri and the Home app. This means it can be added to scenes as well, so you can, for instance, turn on your lights, your giant inflatable snowman, and Mariah Carey’s "All I Want For Christmas Is You" simultaneously. The plug also works with Amazon’s Alexa-enabled devices, Google’s Assistant, Wink, and Nest, so if you’re not an Apple user, you’ll still have tons of options for managing your decor situation.

Each winter since 1989, the world’s longest running ice hotel earns its status by reincarnating itself using 5,000 tons of saw-harvested blocks from the frozen River Torne in Sweden. Ice artists fly in from around the world for the honor of carving its themed suites; this year’s 29th icy iteration has 35. “Guests can sleep inside a sweets shop among giant lollipops, watch a thousand Arctic Terns playfully fly above the bed, or glamp in the depths of the woods,” says hotel representative Beatrice Lind. A new adjacent, permanent structure is home to year-round winter: Solar panels keep an ice bar, art gallery, and 20 more themed ice suites frozen even in cloudberry season.
