The P200 Pro uses Matter over WiFi, and in addition to working with Apple Home, it can also work with Apple Health. It uses your sleep patterns to adjust the display and fan speed or mode based on this data.

You have SwitchBot bulbs, but are looking to get rid of them in favor of a new set of native matter bulbs that can be added directly to the HK. I'm actually going to sell all my SwitchBot stuff because of their ridiculous "x number of matter devices allowed" on hub BS (hubs are the […]

Know. I have a first generation Leviton Decora light switch that has been solid for years. For no good reason, it now loses network connectivity in the evening. It's in HomeKit, but not in the Leviton app. I'm curious if there is a firmware update and it seems I can only check that from the […]
