Homey Pro Gets a Climate-Controlled Coaster (April Fools' Prank)

Homey, the smart home hub maker, has unveiled the "Climate Coaster" — a smart drink coaster that claims to keep coffee hot and beer cold using AI. The video, posted on April 1, 2026, reveals a coaster that clips onto a Homey Pro and uses local AI to detect the beverage type. While the concept seems plausible, viewers quickly flagged it as an April Fools' joke, noting the cooling feature as the giveaway. The prank generated over 10,000 views in its first month, with fans appreciating the Grolsch beer reference and the playful nod to smart home innovation.
