A dishwasher is a very specialized robot. I think it counts as home automation.
> Lawn cutting, general yard maintenance. Nope.
That's wrong. Robot lawnmowers exist, and they're made by several different companies:

- ghaff 11y agoA dishwasher is home automation, which is why I listed it. But it's not a "smart home" and it only automates part of the process. Most of us have a variety of dedicated appliances in our house. Washers and dryers certainly count as well. But that's sort of my point. We automated a lot of the obvious pain points around the house a long time ago. Most of this new stuff doesn't really incrementally help. >>Robot lawnmowers exist They're expensive and limited. You generally need to setup a wire for the boundary. I looked into them a bit. They might make sense for a small fenced in yard but they certainly didn't make any sense in my case.
