Some Apple HomeKit setups are breaking after iOS 16.2 update
HomeKit is sorely behind on many features that should be included.
First, they need to have a clear way for users to access to logs. There is none.
Second, they need to visually present the user what is expected with an automation. There's none.
Third, they need to provide "Accessories" in sidebar which they don't. The accessories are hidden in "Home Settings" which make no sense at all.
Fourth, when they need to rebuild HomeKit network, they need to have a "log" of all accessories. There's none.

Meross launches its first Matter smart plug with 50% discount
Requires WiFi? No thanks. WiFi consumes a hundred times more power and it makes no sense to waste so much energy when Thread is up to a thousand times more power efficient. Also, unlike Wifi plugs, Thread plugs (like Eve) function as a router for all Thread products and increases the resiliency of Thread networks and can extend the network. Why do we need WiFi if it's just transmitting small data packets? Meross makes great products but the combo of energy efficiency, Matter, and robust network connectivity such as Thread (when large data bandwidth is not necessary) are very crucial for my purchase decisions. That's why I only get Thread devices from Eve and hope to see more competition for Thread-enabled devices. WiFi is best for devices that need large data transfers (security videos) and thankfully, ultra low power WiFi technology exists but I am not seeing widespread adoption yet. -
