  • How to fix one AirPod not working

    Placing the non-functioning one back in the case for three seconds or so, then back in my ear clears it up for me most of the time.

    Thank you AppleInsider, but I’ll pass until HomeKit support is a certainty. HomeKit compatibility was promised by the end of the first quarter, but that time has come and passed. I am still irritated about promised Ring “HomeKit” support. Burn me once......  
    The difference between this and Ring is that Arlo has already added HomeKit support to the Arlo Baby cam. Ring hasn't supported HomeKit in any way shape or form. They actually some other issues as the launch of the Ultra which got corrected first before HomeKit was rolled out. We've seen leaks of screenshots of the app that explain the HomeKit setup process. Arlo has been very forthcoming about HomeKit and it is a certainty and will be released very soon.
    I agree, and am interested in purchasing this once it IS  HomeKit compatible, but not before. They did miss the end of first quarter promise after all. They could feasibly have an 2nd gen Arlo Ultra by the time it is HomeKit compatible. I’m just saying I will no longer spend more than $100 on a promise. Many companies are making promises that never get fulfilled, ie Apple’s AirPower.

  • ecobee venturing into indoor security cameras, could add Apple's HomeKit

    I’m still waiting on the supposed Arlo Ultra HomeKit compatibility— promised at the end of quarter one which is now gone. I find it amusing that so many publications repeated this, even though it is well known that Apple does flint allow HomeKit usage with wireless cameras. I am no longer spending good money for bs promises (looking at you Ring) that never come to fruition.

  • Hunter Douglas brings promised HomeKit support to window blinds

    Just took a quick look at the product — cool, more companies getting in on HomeKit. But why must the hub need an elegant design? If I get a hub, it needs to be stackable to go with the other hubs hidden away in my closet. Smh
