Smart Light Bulbs and Robotic Vacuum on Shabbos: Allowed or Not? #Torah

Smart Light Bulbs and Robotic Vacuum on Shabbos: Allowed or Not? Kosher Kitchen 39 https://youtu.be/Q5W8onemixQ Can you use smart light bulbs on Shabbos? Smart homes are full of technology that promises convenience, but what happens when a schedule is set from a smartphone and Shabbos arrives? In this Q&A, Rabbi Lev Leib Lerner takes a question about smart light bulbs that can be programmed to go on and off at set times. He looks at where a timer set before Shabbos differs from a change made during Shabbos, and why the answer is not the same for every device in a smart house. The discussion draws on a classic example of irrigation canals in a garden, and on mechanical timers with pins and dials, to show how Shabbos timers work. It also looks at air conditioning on a day that turns out colder than expected, and at what halacha says when someone's health is a concern. The conversation then turns to a robot vacuum cleaner that runs on a schedule. Rabbi Lerner raises three separate issues connected to such devices: noise on Shabbos, how the activity resembles a weekday, and how it looks to neighbors who hear it. He brings the example of the dryer, and the Talmud's example of a water mill that keeps grinding on its own. Watch the full video to hear how each of these cases is sorted out, and why a device that works on its own can still be a halachic question. — Can you use smart light bulbs on Shabbos?
