So, pretty much my favorite thing at CES is being told that I'm right. And last year when I went around to all the different TV booths and I was like, \"Oh, yeah, that's a really shiny TV. That's a shiny TV, too.\" And I'm like, \"Oh, Sony, I actually don't care how shiny your TV is because you actually had the sense to implement Android into it instead of, you know, building your own operating system that, let's face it, nothing is ever going to support the way that Android will be.\" And this right here is like a super awesome validation for me because one of the biggest things preventing me from investing in Philips Hue lighting or, you know, Lutron light switches or the battery operated blinds that I've got to my right over here is the fact that they've all got completely separate apps. Some of which work well, some of which are frankly complete complete trash.

This This is cool. This is the Harmony Home Hub and it is actually working in tandem. Sony and Logitech are working together with a Sony smart TV running Android to take that fragmented ecosystem and make all of those devices work together just with the native Android support that they have and with the TV communicating directly with the Harmony Home Hub. So, you can actually use a Harmony remote, you can use your phone with the Harmony app, or you can even use your Sony TV remote as well. So, you press the discover button and I'm going to discover something other than Adam Sandler in my life. Just kidding. I I I I do. Happy Gilmore is actually one of my favorite alltime movies. And I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to say, \"Okay, uh, good night.\" What happens with good night is the lighting changes or turns off. Takes a minute. The blinds go all the way down and boom, all of a sudden I'm sleeping. My TV is now off. Now, this is really cool. And there are over 200,000 Internet of Things devices that are going to be supported by this solution. But the one thing that's still missing and that I'm really hoping to get like super excited press release email from Sony about sometime in the near future is, hey, we figured out how to make it work while the TV is not already on because you can't run the Android operating system on the TV without the screen being on just yet. But I'm really excited to see someone, whether it's Logitech or Sony or some combination of the two, trying to figure out how to make all this stuff actually accessible in addition to being something that I spent a bunch of money on. and is inside my house.
