On this week's episode of HomeTech: After taking a week off to let Jason enjoy some time with his newborn son we are back in action to tackle a busy week in home technology news.

Conversations include: Is Sonos finally going to release an API? The great 'technologist debate' continues. Providing solutions versus providing products. A conversation about HDBaseT, 4K and the future of video distribution in general. EchoStar drops Sage like a hot potato. The search for more competition in the handheld remote market. And thoughts on Logitech's new Pop buttons.
