I wouldn't it be great if your kitchen woke up when you did Siri turn on the kitchen lights the lights come on the coffee starts brewing with just a single voice command and what about entertaining shouldn't that be just as simple well today here at the cnet smart home I'm going to show you some quick cheap and easy ways to smarten up your kitchen for many people the kitchen is the center of the home so bringing in technology isn't just about cooking it's about making the room a pleasant place to be I used the mytouch home app to create a breakfast scene which is essentially a list of commands telling the smart home which lights and devices I went on in the morning for the breakfast scene I plugged our aetna warm mocha master into an iDevice to switch to make coffee for the Philips hue lights that hang over the counter area and the huge strip lights over the coffee maker I picked a calm blue color and fifty percent brightness let's see what else is going on today Alexa what's on my schedule you have a dinner with your book club tomorrow and 8pm sweet now that I have some time to myself i think i'll use the innova sous-vide cooker to whip up a steak for lunch the innova is a sous-vide gadget that lets you cook your food in a hot water bath the water circulates and heat to whatever temperature you set it at and the innova because it's connected to bluetooth will alert you on your phone when your food is ready one thing that's great about sous-vide cooking is that it doesn't require a lot of attention so I can go off and finish this book in time for book club tomorrow and the anova Act will let me know where my steak is ready I just got an alert from Innova that my steak is ready and I'm super excited because all I have to do now is take it out of the water Oh fine I wasn't planning on leaving the smart home today but duty calls one steak is not gonna feed three people so I'm gonna roast a chicken but I'm going to let this I devices kitchen thermometer mini do the work for me it'll let me know when the chicken is reached temperature so maybe I'll still have time to finish this book for book club and done just in time too sounds like my guests have a rob and it looks like my chickens almost done to Siri turn on the book club scene so guys what y'all think about the book I didn't read it I read it either what never do typical of these guys and speaking of not finishing things we haven't even touched on large smart kitchen appliances like ovens and refrigerators that's a whole nother topic that we'll need to get into in a different video so be sure to check back in the coming weeks and months for that video we'll see you next time you know what make this kitchen smarter wine typical
