I cant stand watching your videos, made it 1/4 through before i had to click away, too much fluff and unnecessary words, just get straight to the point and the info, how to speak is a waste of time, cut the fluff and you'd likely get more views.

If you listen to the podcast there is image art. That is usually where I listen. Andrew has received this request before but it is just too time consuming for the low volume if KZbin watchers. Try the podcast in your car or when out for a walk, mowing, etc. I think you’ll like it.

On the OBD tracker, it says "No Battery Needed: Unlike other trackers that require charging or batteries, this car tracker connects to the vehicle's OBD port to get power, and can still be tracked in the Find My app when the car is turned off.".

Curious how I can accomplish motion activated under cabinet lighting in HomeKit with the cync lights. I know you discussed it with hue and said that you could think of workarounds. I would love to hear it! I’m currently thinking of using Eve motion.

It makes sense for Apple to allow for a smarter Siri device, without obsoleting existing HomePod Pro, et al, devices. I'm not sure it needs a display.

I really appreciate your review of the IR blaster. However, my problem is that we build large multi storied homes and we use Helix micro-rebar in our concrete. So our slabs and structural walls act as Faraday cages preventing most RF signals to go through. 42:08 To get around this, we endrun a lot of Ethernet outlets and install a Unifi network with multiple access points. This resolves the WiFi problems. Then we install multiple Ethernet connected Apple TVs which brings us Thread all over and sometimes add a few HomePod Minis to fill in weak areas. Our problems are in the distribution of other systems like Lutron Caseta, Philips Hue and IKEA for Sonos control. One extender is simply not enough and only the primary hub has an Ethernet connection . Even greater is the distribution of RF signals for things like rolldown shutters, awnings and pergolas. We’ve tried the Bond Pro, but its range is quite limited. Any help on these subjects would be greatly appreciated!

Man I'm intrigued by the cync lights but their website is really lacking. I want to know how long the extensions are and how to order more, if needed. No info. Also interested in adding a plug and I see something about that on the listing for the dumb version, but no info on the smart page. Or how to order those. Also think it's a bit weird they can be used with the cync app or over Matter, but not both.

I have a Lutron switch for my bathroom fan and when I take a shower I turn it on then when I’m done I tell Siri turn off bathroom fan in 45 minutes. Wish you could just have a shortcut do it automatically like a routine with Alexa but I don’t think that’s possible yet in shortcuts.

I still use the Logitech Harmony Hub with Home Assistant and it is STILL brilliant. I can control everything from any of the dashboards I have around, from my iPhone, Mac, iPad etc. Nothing yet compares but damn you Logitech for tossing in the towel instead of using your tech knowledge to create BETTER smart home devices. :(

I travel a decent amount for trade shows in my industry. One thing I’ve been doing the past few years that has really made a difference in avoiding the “crud” is taking things like airborne beginning no later than one week before the show to help boost my immune system just before. I continue the Airborne throughout the show as well. As soon as I get back I also start taking Zicam at the first sign of any sickness and it’s worked really great for me. **knocks on wood**

Recent episodes seem to have become QI2 Insider. I used to like this podcast for the HomeKit info, but, very little of the podcast is HomeKit anymore. There’s no need to add filler to the podcast. If there’s on 8 minutes of HomeKit info, then just do an 8 minute podcast.

Andrew great interview with the Ecobee CEO. I too am a long term fan of Ecobee going all the way back to their original unit. I now moving to upgrade to their latest. The one problem I have is the new model is much smaller than the original. Oh, how much I would love them to sell an accessory "custom cover plate" so I didn't have repaint my entire wall. Small point but big to me. I have searched and ask around to no avail.
@Sah-dd1zh2 ай бұрын
Good interview- I’d be all in on the full ecobee ecosystem if they would just expose a security system with the doorbell and if it had HKSV. I’d even use them for paid monitored home security. These seem like fairly simple and reasonable additions but I know they’ll never do it.

I can't think of a better reason to spend $3,500 for Apple Vision Pro so you can check battery levels on your smart home devices? Apple Vision Pro is a tech gadget that ends up collecting dust in a drawer or on a shelf in due time. Apple Vision Pro is a complete waste of money.
