HomeKit Insider
After a footnote on Apple's site left some people believing iPad will soon cease to work as a Home Hub, the company has tried to reassure everyone. As it turns out, the iPad will continue to act as a Home Hub if you want -- but it won't get certain performance improvements going forward.
This week Belkin also released a new version of its popular 3-in-1 MagSafe charger. It now features a fast charging Apple Watch module within the now familiar and popular design.
Next, Stephen discusses his Eve Cam installation, we talk of Aqara's updated hub, and we answer a listener question on which Ecobee thermostat they should buy.
