I have three rooms in my "first floor" zone. The kitchen, dining room and living room. Siri refuses to recognize the presence of the kitchen. If I say "turn on the first floor light", she will only do the dining room and the living room. If I only leave the kitchen in the first floor […]

Is it possible to plan a natural sunrise alarm and as soon as the light reaches 100% alternative between red and blue every 10 seconds or so? It is such a struggle to get my mind awake enough to understand that I must remain that way. I can plan color changes with 60's granularity, but […]

I installed Robin Pro Line Smart Doorbell last week and I thought I would share some of my thoughts on this device. The reason for this project was to replace a Control 4 doorbell that was embedded on a brick exterior, so I also rinsed RPL. Lucky for me, RPL is almost as big as […]
When you have a stereo pair in iOS 13, it shows how many speakers are in that pair. Perhaps this means that there will be support for more than 2 speakers in a group.
In general, home automation is not as economical or as easy as most people would like. There are too many incompatible protocols, and most often, for all to talk about, you have to reluctantly sign up for a "cloud" service that you have not asked for. If you're an Apple fan, you'll have more to […]
Tuning iOS13 Beta2. Lyric thermostats disappear from favorites and the premises they were assigned. They only appear when I check the system status of the favorite page. Is it the same for other thermostats?

It's a good way to get started with smart home lighting and HomeKit control with two bulbs and the Philips Hue concentrator. […]
According to Federighi, last year's loaded iOS apps will see a more native Mac frame. They will feel much more like Mac applications and with new design decisions that fit the rest of macOS. He mentioned that we can really tell the difference in the coming month as the public beta releases.

Yeelights HomeKit Enabled Bedside Lamp II Added to Mi Home. Get rid of it
My ecos and sensors have worked solidly in HomeKit since I have had them id say for about a year plus now. Recently, they haven't given me any answer in the home app and sometimes in the ecobee app too. Somebody else? Fix?
Wondered if anyone has a solution to an ongoing connection problem I have with VOCOlinc's SmarBar (smart plug) and LS2 (newer light strips). They have shot like no answer for so long. Unplugging and replugging seems to solve the problem for a short while, but right after they start showing as No Response again. They […]
