Some Apple HomeKit setups are breaking after iOS 16.2 update
My Home system got messed up with 16.1 and I have tried working with Apple Support for over a month. All was working great under iOS 15 but when I installed 16 (not beta) it killed all my 11 Thread devices (Eve/Wemo/Nanoleaf) but all other 34 non-Thread devices are working fine. So after numerous factory resets with still "no response" I gave up on all Thread devices and put them in storage. Apple is not serious about smart home automation. -
Here are all the devices getting Matter support

Home automation standard Matter one step closer to use

Rachio abandons HomeKit for its smart garden sprinkler
Something in iOS 16 is negatively effecting HomeKit. All my Thread devices stopped working (No Response; ReadWrite Fail Error). Did delete/factory reset on Eve and Nano thread devices but could not add them back into HK. Yet older non-thread devices stored away were easily added back into HK and working fine. But my three HomePod minis have disappeared from my HK App even so they still trigger devices when asking Siri or using remote commands. Also, several online posts over past few days reveals users having trouble with timer activations. Am wondering if Apple's roll-out of Matter is causing issues with Thread. -
Tesla, BMW don't appear to be gearing up to join Apple's new CarPlay vision
I admit I own a 2021 BM loaded x5. It is an amazing brand with super engineering. I like nice things and BM is a very nice thing. But Chadbag is wrong to assume we are all a-holes. I am one if the nicest guys on the road. I do use Apple Music with my car and sometimes Apple Maps. Everything works great together, but I do not want to use any version of CarPlay that replaces my instrument panel with an Apple look. Apple screens in CarPlay look so cartoonist. I am happy with BM OEM display clusters and options.
