Welcome to the Verge Cast, the flagship podcast of open source light bulbs.

I'm your friend David Pierce and I am coming to you from my laundry room slash furnace

room slash, I don't know what you call it, it's just that weird room in your house where

you keep all your tools and toilet paper and laundry detergent and stuff.

Anyway, I'm in here because, well, last week was Smart Home Week on the Verge.com and

I was inspired to try and connect all of my stuff a little better together.

So I'm trying to get a water center rigged up to tell me if my hot water heater is leaking,

which sounds simple and is exactly as boring as it sounds, but it will make me sleep better

at night.

Anyway, we have much better things to talk about on the show today than water sensors.

Josh Jeza is going to come on and tell us a very different kind of AI story than the

ones we have been hearing over the last few months.

And then Jen Patison to E is going to come on and we're going to talk about smart stuff.

And whether we've been approaching the whole idea of the smart home all wrong, actually

come to think of it, we might end up talking about water sensors after all.

So sorry, I'm in advance if that happens.

All that is coming in just a sec.

But first I have to see if I can shimmy behind the water heater over here to get this thing

installed.

So if you don't hear from me again, I'm probably stuck back here.

This is the Verge cast.

Seem a sec.
