118 wallypower

By Andrew Beehler October 6, 2009

You may recognize this megayacht from The Island with Scarlett Johansson and Ewan McGregor back in 2005. Some experts say the 118 wallypower is one of the most magnificent works of modern engineering. This megayacht has a cruising speed of 60 knots – which is quick enough to get you from Miami Florida to Havana Cuba in under three and a half hours. Powered by three 5,600 HP Turbine engines, this yacht drinks 15 gallons per nautical mile at full speed. If you can afford the $25 million price tag, then you won’t mind dropping $60,000 at the pump to fill up the tank. This nautical racer is constructed nearly entirely of composites. No detail on the 118 wallypower has been ignored- this boat was designed luxury and speed.

While not as widespread as Google Home or Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit remains one of the most popular smart home ecosystems of 2023. The software plays well with iOS devices, and several other gadgets such as smart lights, smart locks, thermostats, and cameras can be controlled using the fancy technology. If you’re looking to build your smart home around Apple’s ecosystem, here are the best HomeKit devices available today.
Locks

HomeKit doesn’t have the largest selection of smart locks, but that doesn’t really matter when you have something as well-rounded as the Aqara Smart Lock U100. Not only does it offer full HomeKit support, but you’ll even gain access to Apple home keys -- allowing you to unlock your door with your iPhone or Apple Watch. There’s also the standard keypad for entering a passcode, along with a fingerprint sensor that can store several dozen fingerprints (so your whole family can enter the home without worrying about forgetting their password or smartphone).
