361's 9th birthday, smart lights, map apps & video calling [S18E03]

About this Episode

The team celebrate 9 years of podcasting together and discuss:

• Ben's (ongoing) smart lighting disaster. How Philips Hue hasn't turned out to be the perfect smart lighting solution, a serious (known) product defect and how complex it all gets when deployed in large numbers.
• Walking and way-finding apps that are helping us enjoy the outdoors when we can. How to go beyond Google Maps to explore the footpaths around our homes with specialist mapping apps and guided routes.
• The best video calling and conferencing apps for working from home. What do the team use and what should you consider when choosing?

Let us know your thoughts on these subjects or anything you'd like to hear covered in future via the website or Twitter.
