September 17, 2025 by usatoday24

When we think of Domotize our house The first thing that comes to mind is that it will be a great idea. And probably it is. Who has not dreamed of automating daily tasks and controlling devices from the mobile? The promise is clear: to make our lives easier. However, when it is time to put it into practice, unforeseen events appear. And that is where the real challenge begins: to overcome obstacles for the plan to meet. A good example is in our series’Domotize or die in the attempt‘, Available in the Xataka YouTube channel. In this chapter, Ana Boria He faces a challenge with a deadline: Leave everything prepared before leaving honeymoon without worries. The main protagonists are two feeders Xiaomi Smart Pet Food Feederalthough they are not the only ones. As already anticipated in the previous episodewill also try to install a presence sensor on the terrace and an irrigation system for plants. All under the watchful eye and comments of your partner Angela Blanco. The question is inevitable: will it get it? A trip to counterreloj: leave the house under technological control before going on a trip One of the strengths that Ana of smart feeders stands most is their ability to weigh the exact ration of feed. A key detail for those who live with several pets that do not eat the same. “The right -wing feeder is always that of the cat and the one on the left that of the cat. So this work we have done. Now it is simply that they get used to this what gives them eating every x hours,” he explains. Everything painted well after Unboxing. Remove them from the box, configure them in the living room and then take them to their final place. Until the first problems arrived: “No, it is restarted, but it does not enter Wi -Fi mode, which I should do and I don’t know why and I don’t know what else to do. In the other it has worked.” The typical situation in which you are convinced of having followed the manual to the letter and still something fails. Luckily, the solution was close. The action then moved to the terrace. On paper, installing the movement sensor seemed simple. In practice, not so much. “What happens is that it needs food and I only have one plug Here on the terrace that is here behind the column, ”Ana details. Relocating it was an option, although it was not simple either.” A lot of people passes here, especially in summer, and we will have to limit very well the Mapita of this sensor so that it does not give us or false positives and it works well. “I had to check if the system responded as it should. And, surprise! At that moment Angela put the humor note with a direct comment: “But look, what would be of this series of videos if Ana got the whole first?” The closure of the chapter returns us to the terrace. He had to refine the irrigation system. Ana began to make accounts to calculate with precision how she should work. But once again everything did not go to the first. Had to move the site pump to fulfill its function. Before the expected trip, with the idea of leaving everything under control, Ana spent a week at her family’s house. There he advanced a detail that leaves the intrigue served: “There is good news and a bad one.” To know what happened, The answer is in the video. The question is clear: did you get the house dominated before the honeymoon? We invite you to discover it and tell us your experience, both here and on YouTube.

Domotizing with sensors seemed good idea. After several days of testing, Ana has discovered what almost no one tells

August 31, 2025 by usatoday24

What can go wrong when you try to domote the kitchen and bathroom … even little by little? Well, many things, as you will discover In this new installment of ‘Domotize or die in the attempt’. Ana has proposed to move forward with her connected house, but what seemed a more or less simple installation of sensors It ends up becoming a succession of failed tests, network errors, double -sided tape and various frustrations. In this episode, the goal is clear: protect the water leak house and automate bath lighting, but the process will not be precisely fluid. Nor short. Not simple. Before entering flour, the first logistic obstacle had to be overcome: shipping. One of the packages with the essential sensors had been lost, which kept the entire process in pause. “It seemed that today’s video was not going to arrive, but finally the package appeared,” says Ana, resigned but relieved. With everything already at home, the installation starts: water sensors at key points such as sink or dishwasher, and a first attempt to leave the presence detection system ready in the bathroom ready. What follows, of course, is not a manual installation. Tape, tests and patience: Home automation is taking pace The first sensors to settle were those of water leaks, and the kitchen was the test field. Ana located the three most critical points: sink, dishwasher and washing machine. He prepared to make tests in real conditions. The result was a constant strip and loosen between theory and practice. “It has taken a little more than I expected”, Says after seeing how the sensor does not react instantly to contact with water. From there, homemade adjustments begin. Place the device as centered as possible, trust that it does not move with the passage of the aspirating robot and wait for the time, the time comes, it really works. Everything pointed out that the Valve Controller would be the perfect brooch: a system that, when detecting a leak, would automatically close the passage key. It made sense, it was well thought out and seemed to fit the logic of the rest of the sensors. But when trying to install it, the thing was twisted. Ana discovers that, despite having the pipes in sight, there is not enough space to place the device. “My joy in a well,” summarizes, with a mixture of rage and resignation. The concept was ideal, the impossible execution. It will touch it back. After the reverse with the valve controller, Ana focuses on the other great objective of the episode: install a LED strip behind the bathroom mirror and accompany it with a presence sensor that activates the light automatically at night. It sounds simple, but only in theory. You have to look for the exact placemake sure that you do not activate with cats, find free plugs, and deal with an app that does not want to collaborate. “Ok, great. It’s a bit slow, but it works,” he says when, finally, he gets everything to react … although not quite as he expected. From there, it is time to test, move the sensor, adjust settings and fight with home automation. Will you get it ready? That is another story. After so much effort, Ana manages to launch her night lighting routine in the bathroom. The sensor detects the movement and lights the LED strip … although not always with the desired speed or precision. Sometimes it takes, sometimes it is activated for no reason. “It works, I would tell you that between 85 and 90 % well,” he acknowledges. It is not perfect, but functional enough to keep it installed. Will it end by polishing the failures? Is it enough when they return from the trip? In the video we see how everything has evolved. With part of the system already underway, Ana begins to think about what is coming: a trip, plants, cats … and the terrace, which stays as a pending task for the next chapter. In the next episode we will see how the house prepares for be outwith automatic irrigation system. At the moment, there is something that is still unresolved: the happy water key controller. “I thank you infinite to leave me a comment to see if I can solve it,” he says, leaving the door open to someone having the answer she has not found. And yes, if you want to see how all this ends, The full video awaits you on the Xataka YouTube channel.

Ana Rosa in the mornings

January 23, 2025 by usatoday24

Ana Rosa Quintana returns to the mornings. The one that was absolute winner of Mediaset mornings For 18 years he abandons his fleeting experiment in the afternoons, in which attempts have been made to raise the low rates of Telecinco after the disappearance of ‘save me‘. It is an important change (and desired by the presenter, who has never felt comfortable in her new format), and above all, it is further proof of the need that Telecinco has to strengthen some proposal from your grill beyond the realities. Failed afternoons. Two years ago, Alessandro Salem, CEO of Mediaset at the time, asked Ana Rosa Quintana to try to fill the space left by ‘Sálvame’. Despite a good first year, it has not been able to stand up to Sonsoles Ónega, much more established, and the essential traveling companions who reinforce and continue the bet have not had much better luck: ‘Jorge’s Diary’, the vehicle for Jorge Javier Vázquez, after the disappearance of ‘Sálvame’, has not been able to find a space; and ‘Chain Reaction’ has done well while it has had its Mozos de Arousa, but once they are gone, the program fails to maintain interest. And that’s without talking about the current battle for access. prime timewhich with ‘La Revuelta’ and ‘El hormiguero’, Tele5 already considered lost. Again in the mornings. The reformulation of the mornings starting on February 3 will not be total, and both Ana Terradillos and Joaquín Prat, who were previously part of Ana Rosa’s team, will maintain the spaces with which Tele5 covered the slot after the presenter’s passage in the afternoons. Mediaset talks about “a remodeling of the network’s morning slot”, and there will be changes in the formats and durations, but both ‘The Critical View’ by Terradillos and ‘Let’s See’ by Prat will continue. Total domination. ‘TardeAR’ continues without Ana Rosa (perhaps the name change will be inevitable, but it is enough to dispense with the capital letters), although its current presenters, Frank Blanco and Verónica Dulanto, continue. With this change, the one that is undoubtedly the big winner is Unicorn Content, owned by the presenter, who, as stated in a statement about the change, will be on TeleCinco “from first thing in the morning until three o’clock, and then ‘TardeAR ‘from 5:40 p.m. to eight o’clock.’ A true absolute mastery of the channel grill. Bad figures. The afternoon, as we have mentioned, had not worked for Ana Rosa for a while. On December 17, ‘TardeAR’ made 10.7%, and since then, more than a month later, it has always remained below 10%, sometimes with figures as low as 7.7% this Monday , which may have precipitated his return to the mornings. To his rival on Antena 3, Sonsoles Ónega, it happens just the opposite: rarely falls below 10% share since last summer, and sometimes it reaches figures such as the 12.7% that was the maximum in October 2024, taking two and a half points ahead of Ana Rosa. What is left for Telecinco. Safe tricks, very few. It seems more or less guaranteed that the mornings will be yours again (although right now They’re not doing so well either.), but at the cost of the afternoon being extremely destabilized, with a program that is already in free fall in audiences, and that without its main supporter, may continue to decline. But the worst comes at night: although ‘Big Brother’, ‘Temptation Island’ and others realities they work well (without being infallible), the lack of a powerful product at the time of ‘El Hormiguero’ and ‘La Revuelta’ prevents there from being a carryover effect, and many times the public has to join their proposals “from scratch”. prime timewhich has made ambitious bets like ‘Next Level Chef’ puncture loudly.
