  • Belkin introduces new HomeKit Secure Video doorbell, new Matter-ready devices at CES 2022

    Tired of these 250€/$ doorbells that force you to subscribe.

    In the end I decided to use a 3€ doorbell connected to a 9€ shelly1 which makes my HomePod chime.

    I can steam/replay video from my existing cameras if necessary but it’s a lot quicker to look out the window !

  • Leaker claims 'HomePod mini' is coming, 'HomePod 2' is not

    I used to love my HP, but I have gradually fallen out of love with it over Siri. The sound quality is great, but thats about it. Siri is plain terrible, and seems to be getting worse, at least versus Alexa/Google Home.

    I can only agree, I just use HP just for music playback and Siri for homekit accessory controls. I find it's getting slower and slower to perform basic tasks. In my case, compared to before, I've noticed delay to select/deselect HP as airplay2 audio target and missed instructions to HK devices (or also slow). I actually opted out of Apple music because Siri on HP is so poor.

    One year Apple focused on making their OSs better than running after endless features ... wish they did the same for Siri & Homepod.
