I think you are spot-on Shane. This is the time with all the indicators pointing toward Apple going big to own the smart home sector which is, by all rights, still in its infancy. I’m not an IT professional, but when I describe my Apple smart home to friends they are all envious, they just don’t want to invest the time and mental energy to make their home smart. The few installs I’ve done for friends have made some converts. If Apple will do this right and make a seamless, plug-n-play smart home system it will be the revenue stream they need to replace the iPhone.

I think Apple have realised two things - 1) the smart home space is there for the taking now. Alexa is a mess and dying, Google Home is car crash, and Smarthings… lol. 2) people like smart homes, not overpriced nonsense like Vision Pro, and that’s not changing. It’s a market that still have a huge amount of potential to tap, that’s only going to grow.

Apple should make a robot with a camera. Something that can check the whole home and alert you to any problems that may be occurring. For example: A water sensor detects a leak and alerts the robot to check on it, the robot camera can view it and alert your phone for prompt response. Sticking cameras all over the home is limited and old school. Home hub displays might look cool on the wall but do we really need one? Remote access seems like a better option than something stationary. It’s kind of like getting up to change the channel. Something you only do when in a bind.

Question: at 01:53 mark, your camera feed image (thumbnail?) Seems to update LIVE when you turn on your pool lights. Was that just editing or is there an actual product/productS that will show a live update like that from the Apple Home app?
@ZACHA12Y
@ZACHA12Y Ай бұрын
He is viewing the camera feed in one of his rooms in his home through the HomeKit integration via his tv. He also has lights that are in the same room as the camera is. So, when he goes on his tv to view the feed from this room’s camera, he will also see icons for “related accessories” that are also in the same room. So he is just using his tv Remote app on his iPhone or the actual physical Siri Remote to scroll down to that icon for his lights and toggling them on. The icon for the light accessory updates to show the accessory state changed to “on” and, because he’s viewing a live stream of that room’s camera too, he can see the lights turn on in real time. So basically, no special feature or 3rd party app needed. Just looking at his camera (specifically, a camera with HomeKit Secure Video capabilities) on his Apple TV and toggling the accessories via his TV as well. If you have a newer generation Apple TV, just press the power button on the remote and a little “control center” panel will pop up in the upper right corner of your TV. Use the directional pad on the remote and click left twice (go to the far left screen-you’ll see a little HomeKit icon) and select the icon to view all your live camera feeds in each room of your house, and also any other related accessories you have set up in those rooms as well.

Agree. The least Apple could do is allow for more flexible customization of the Home app. Why must all climate related sensors be grouped, why can't one have the flexibility to display the values of various sensors on the pages for each room? The ability to completely customize the screens that I display in Home Assistant is why I stick with it. Apple has a ton of catching up to do.

I'm thoroughly missing the real focus of what a smart home should do for me. I'm looking for European in wall thread buttons and mains sockets (or mounted in a cable duct). Also think of rotary selector knobs ( physical 2 or 3 or 4 position - not endlessly rotating encoders). These should be mains powered - not battery powered. And wifi or ethernet based kWh meters that bring the data to the Matter controller with a 1 second interval. Both in wall and DIN rail kWh meters - mono and tri phase. And that the Matter controller can process that data locally - with in built battery for short power outages - and that it continues working also when internet is down (modem down). Think about a tamper proof version good enough to serve as alarm system. And thread E27 RGB lamps that do mesh networking for data transfer of products of other brands too. And CO2 meters with 5 minute interval as part of the control of a ventilation system with heat exchanger. And Matter control of the car charger. And cheap wifi displays with customisable layout as to show clock, temperature (also from other rooms), kW and daily kWh values, plus air quality. Make the displays USB-C powered. That should be the priority list ! Sorry but no camera, internet browser and robotic arm needed in my bedroom. That's the perfect recipe for screwing sleep quality. Bed time is for sleeping. I hope these tech giants are going to use their brains and come up with product that are needed. We have the obligation to make our houses environment friendly with a fixed timeline the next coming years. Higher insulated homes need ventilation. During winter self consumption of excess solar energy is key. These basic things should urgently be the focus in the development of the smart home anno 2025. Kind regards, Jan

Shane, great video. Have always appreciated the focus of your channel just as you framed it up front: on products and capabilities that are in our hands today. That being said, I really value your POV on upcoming Apple smart home possibilities. While I'm optimistic about what the Apple home control display could be like, I'm more excited about the Home app and underlying Home platform getting a much (much) needed upgrade to address shortcomings we've all lived with for years now: flexible dashboards, better control of device groupings, simplified and more usable automations, and just a better user experience in general. If they do nothing but that, it will be a massive improvement IMO. I'm not that sure what value they'll be able to offer in the areas of smart TV's, cameras, locks, etc. I don't see all those things the same, but I'm not that excited about being forced to accept Apple design and form factor choices across my overall home. What will they really add in value prop for a TV over 3rd party TV's with an Apple TV attached? Just make the Apple TV more powerful. Cameras - is Apple really interested in supporting solar power, PoE, battery powered devices, etc, like are available from other vendors? Maybe, but why do it? To your point, just support >1080p in Home for goodness sake. Locks - this is already a hack industry in my view, mainly in terms of design choices and power management solutions in my view. Not enough high-end design choices in locks. I guess if Apple was committed to solving these core issues with current smart home tech, I'd be interested, but seems like a big de-focus from what has been Apple's core mission for decades. I also agree 100% with your statement that this market is still up for grabs and no one has done it right to date. Regardless, I'm following these rumors with keen interest, and hoping that the first and most important thing - making what we already have more usable and useful - gets addressed and done right as we all know Apple can.

Love the idea Apple may (finally!) put its customer-centric design skills to the smart home environment. As someone who has owned just about every one of their products since my first IIe I’ve been so disappointed by their approach to HomeKit. Let’s be honest, it’s rubbish but for the most basic of use cases. If they DO go this path then existing equipment like the old iPads so many of us already use as HA dashboards MUST at least be capable of running a HomeKit dashboard even if the AI grunt work needs to be done by a dedicated device. 🤞

I’m in the process of fully transitioning myself and my family away from Apple Home due to its lack of features and stability (I started about a month ago).

I just want Apple home to work after every update. I had to turn off auto updates on my HomePods and appletvs to avoid the dreaded re-syncing of everything for two hours when I sit down to watch tv. Just make it reliable…

I’m a 100% Apple user incl HomeKit. And tbh the biggest issue with Apple isnt the products… it is how utterly shockingly bad Siri and how they are clearly struggling to come up with new ideas.

I don’t get how that little monitor is better than using an iPad and a wall mount… Just the price?

Running software dedicated for smart home control would be the main differentiating factor in my opinion.

It’s still annoying I can have something playing on the Apple TV and anything similar to the word “Siri” activates it. The HomePods can sort of filter each other out, but for whatever reason it doesn’t filter out audio streams from the TV it SHOULD be aware of.

I would like to see Apple make a 1st party video door bell. None of the home kit secure video 3rd party door bell cameras impress me much. I’m jealous of my friends who have Google doorbells but I’m not going down that road.

I’d love to see a HomeKit that actually works for the other 50% of the people that have it.

It's like a phone, but for your home! It's the year 2000.

I would prefer that a "homeOS" be focused on voice commands and Siri conversations. I have built a fairly large homekit in my townhouse, and aviod pulling out my phone or having a screen mounted on the wall (my space is on 3 floors, I dont want a screen on every one). I love being able to ask Siri a question or ask her to do something. But it could be more conversational. I want it to feel like Siri is my personal assistant and can talk to me about what is happening in the house. Even stupid things like when she does something, I always say thanks. But she never says "you are welcome." 🙂

Sidenote: why do any of us need smart thermostats on our walls once we have a HomeOS smart display? I'd love for someone like Ecobee to make a HomeOS app so that I can put a HomeOS smart display where my thermostat is now. Instead make a headless thermostat controller that I can place in the same room as my furnace (potentially allow for a hardwired ethernet connection to it as well).

I’d rather they focus on fixing the simple things. Thread network that works, better automations, more statistics like energy monitoring, better UI on the home app. SmartThings is much advanced and doing more with their platform right now. Apple can take a thing or two from them. Simple to use too.

I would like to see AI applied to system diagnostics so that when a device stops working it would suggest a solution or perhaps self-heal itself.
