Lutron's "Caseta" HomeKit/Alexa switches include a remote that can, with a $3 bracket be installed as a second switch, for $60 on amazon. So $35, while cheap, doesn't seem like that great a value proposition. The Caseta wired switches are pretty e…

A couple points: in my (limited) experience "home hub" is not very reliable - at least on iPad: I've set up a "When Anyone Arrives" automation and it worked nicely. But 2 weeks ago, it no longer worked. Nothing on the iPad changed, other than an i…

DavidAlGregory said: I still say the iPhone X is an IQ test. Are people stupid enough to pay $1k for something Apple makes for a little over $300. That is one hell of a markup. If I had a Jeff Bezos $100 Billion I would not pay that much for…

How is this Incipio smart switch different from Lutron's Caseta switch? I've begun automating with Lutron and am pretty happy with it so far (other than the fact that our builder installed LED recessed lights and the Lutron dimmers that I installed…

fallenjt said: Let me summarize all HomeKit compatible devices so far: power plugs, switches, strips, light bulbs and door locks. To be honest, all of these craps are pretty much gimmicks. The only one gadget I think it is useful is the smart…

I think this was kind of predictable: until Apple comes out with glasses that project the Augmentation directly in front of you, AR use cases strong enough to convince someone to hold a phone up for prolonged periods of time are pretty slim. There …

A few weeks ago I asked Blink customer support whether there were any plans for HomeKit support since I’m automating my home using it and my existing 3 Blink cameras were an island onto themselves. The answer was “none”. Now I know why :-( I woul…
