  • Ikea's Tradfri line is a good and inexpensive gateway to Apple's HomeKit system

    Speaking as a person that actually owns and uses Trådfri, with HomePod as a hub, I literally feel like Jean Luc Picard on the Enterprise. Siri, do this, that and the other. More importantly, through HomeKit, time of day integrations and actions just work via Apple Watch, iPhone, iPad. Config was straightforward for me. And best of all its the most affordable lighting system on the market. So if it didn’t work or was a dud, no big deal because I didn’t invest a lot in it.

    As far as the “Not responding” issue, I’ve only seen that when the router went down, and a simple power cycle of the gateway fixed those issues immediately.

  • IKEA expanding HomeKit lineup with new smart plugs in October

    Apple customers don't usually buy downscale junk like Ikea. Android users are more their ilk.
    I have them throughout my home, they integrate seamlessly with HomeKit, work like a charm, and are affordable. Where’s the loss? That Apple snobbery really has to stop guys.
