  • Review: Kwikset Premis HomeKit lock chews through batteries, disappoints

    jaywordjayword
    YMMV I switched to Kwikset Premis a month or so ago from Schlage Sense because the Schlage Sense ate at least 5 sets of batteries in a month. By the end after Schlage replaced it with a new unit to try to correct the issue, the new one ate battery sets in < 2 days.

    Needless to say, I'm on battery set 1 with Premis still, and the battery readout says 85% so I'm not concerned.

    I can't surmise what caused the reviewer's issue, but I would say my overall experience (even excluding battery) was significantly better with Premis than Sense. That may be influenced as well by the fact every other lock in my house is Kwikset so it was nice to have an easily keyed lock to everything else, and it matches perfectly. I strongly recommend Premis at 4 stars and Sense at 2 stars due to the same battery issue. But even without that, the Sense would have been 3 stars.

  • Some users finding AirPods drop phone call audio when paired with iPhone 6s

    jaywordjayword
    This has nothing to do with Airpods. I have the exact same issue with both Airpods and Beats Solo 3. Both of them disconnect from calls, music, whatever they're playing. Usually a couple times an hour. Then reconnect after 10 seconds or so. Amazing how these issues go unreported for months despite that they're obviously very widespread.

  • iOS 10.2 improves Apple HomeKit with expanded smart home notifications

    100 devices by the end of this year? Only about 80 left to go. They have 16 days. Should be quite a wild ride then!

  • Anticipating WWDC 2016: what's ahead for Apple Watch 2 and watchOS 3

    jaywordjayword
    The lines below are false. Native apps on watchOS 2 cannot connect directly over Wi-Fi. NSURLSession is used to proxy connections from the Watch to the Phone making it appear to the app as if it is direct, but actually it is not. The performance is horrific and this is the primary flaw in watchOS 2. This is not a "we did this last year", this is a "top item to do this year".
    AppleInsider said:

    At last year's WWDC, Apple introduced watchOS 2, which enabled developers to build native apps that ran on the watch itself, eliminating a round trip of communications to the connected phone on every action, resulting in much better performance. Native apps on watchOS 2 can also connect to the Internet directly via WiFi, even when your phone isn't present.
