Podcasts about HomeKit

Andrew O'Hara covers a packed week of smart home news, led by fresh Apple code leaks that point to new Apple TV, HomePod, and HomePod mini changes. He also breaks down Apple's Apple Intelligence camera pricing, then shares hands-on impressions from the Anchor Eufy launch event and a quick look at new lock and projector hardware.Key topicsIn this episode, Andrew summarizes new Apple code references suggesting an upcoming Apple TV 4K that looks like the current model, plus hints at new HomePod-related features.He explains how Apple may add sound to Apple TV screensavers, including the Snoopy screensaver, with a user toggle for enabling or disabling audio.He discusses possible four-speaker HomePod surround sound support, which could allow more immersive multi-point audio in a room.Andrew shares what the leak shows for Siri and Apple Intelligence on HomePod, including new animation assets and speculation about whether older hardware will support the feature.He reveals new HomePod mini 2 color options surfaced in code: green, pink, blue, white, and black, with orange seemingly on the way out.He argues that Apple Intelligence camera pricing is too high, comparing Apple's camera limits and storage tiers against a competitor offering unlimited cameras for $10 per month.Andrew breaks down the difference between HomeKit Secure Video storage and Apple Intelligence summaries, emphasizing that they are separate services with separate costs.He covers Ultralock's new deadbolts, including the Bolt Pro and Latch 5 Pro with Aliro NFC support, and the Bolt Mission with ultra-wideband but no Aliro or Home Key.He explains why he prefers system-level access methods like UWB, Home Key, or Aliro over app-dependent unlock flows.He looks at Govee's Holiday Pattern Projector Lite, an outdoor projector with a dual-light setup, interchangeable projection films, Matter support, and use beyond holiday decorating.He wraps with hands-on thoughts from the Anker Eufy event, including the company's property-wide camera strategy and a standout track-light camera that follows motion.Send me your smart home questions and recommendations with the hashtag #SmartHomeInsider.

En el podcast de esta semana de Manzanas enfrentadas, contamos de nuevo con la visita de nuestro amigo PepTubeShow. Con él, vamos a comentar las siguientes noticias de la semana tecnológica:1. Nuevos iPhone
El tema principal son los nuevos iPhone y las primeras impresiones. Se debate si las mejoras del iPhone 18 justifican cambiar desde modelos recientes y aparece también la opción de comprar generaciones anteriores aprovechando la bajada de precio.2. iPhone Duo
Es una de las grandes novedades del episodio. Se habla del nuevo formato, su precio, las cámaras y, sobre todo, de si puede convertirse en una alternativa real al Pro Max. También comentan las dificultades iniciales para adaptar aplicaciones al nuevo formato.3. Apple Watch
La conversación gira alrededor de si tiene sentido actualizar. Para quienes tienen un Apple Watch reciente, especialmente un Ultra, las novedades parecen menos determinantes. El diseño y los nuevos acabados tienen bastante protagonismo.4. Siri e inteligencia artificial
Se comentan las nuevas capacidades de Siri y la evolución de la IA de Apple. Hay entusiasmo por las posibilidades, pero también se habla de problemas de disponibilidad y de que todavía queda trabajo para que la experiencia esté completamente madura.5. CarPlay y HomeKit
Hay novedades interesantes en la integración con el coche, especialmente los widgets y el control de dispositivos HomeKit desde CarPlay. También comentan mejoras en la reproducción de podcasts.6. Aplicación de Manzanas Enfrentadas
Dani cuenta novedades del desarrollo de la aplicación: integración con CarPlay, widgets y adaptación a los nuevos dispositivos. El iPhone Duo incluso aparece como una oportunidad para probar y adaptar la aplicación.7. Apple TV+ y series
Se dedica un espacio a las series de Apple TV+, con comentarios sobre títulos como Silo, Slow Horses y Pluribus, además del crecimiento de Apple en producción televisiva y premios.8. Comunidad y sección de entretenimiento
Como es habitual, hay participación del chat, bromas entre los miembros del equipo, felicitación a Dani y el tradicional 7 de 7.Lo tenemos!!

Andrew is joined by Dan Turk for a post-event recap focused on what Apple actually shipped, what it did not, and why that matters for smart home and ecosystem users.

There's also a broader conversation about Apple's smart home strategy, the upcoming home hardware rumors, and how the Duo may preview features for a future smart display.Key topicsDan Turk joins Andrew for a post-event analysis of Apple's newest hardware and software announcements.tvOS 27 gets a practical update pass, including faster app launches, better Control Center responsiveness, improved AirPlay behavior, Hi-Fi lossless Apple Music support, and Thread 1.4.The new Apple TV remote app is getting its own standalone app, plus early hints of a built-in app launcher and top shelf carousel view.No dedicated HomePod, Apple TV, or smart display was announced, which Andrew and Dan frame as a timing and PR strategy decision.AirPods 5 bring ANC to the base model at the same price, improved water resistance, and better battery life and volume controls on the higher-end version.The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max deliver major camera, battery, thermal, and performance improvements.The iPhone Duo impresses with its foldable design, software experience, standby modes, and potential smart home implications.Andrew explains why the Duo's standby-style display modes could preview Apple's future smart display interface.The hosts discuss Apple's launch timing, rumored smart home hardware, and the company's broader ecosystem strategy.Send me your smart home questions and recommendations with the hashtag #SmartHomeInsider.

Finalizo la semana comentando los dispositivos que presentó Apple el miércoles, además del iPhone Duo. Una actualización suave de los iPhone Pro, un cambio de chip en los AppleWatch y grandes mejoras en los AirPods base, manteniendo un buen precio.

Fue un evento de Apple del que ya sabíamos todo (algo habitual en los últimos años), pero eso no ha evitado que me haya sorprendido y emocionado a partes iguales el nuevo iPhone Duo. Precio a parte, es un dispositivo encomiable que creo que merece la pena probar y utilizar durante un tiempo. Es aire fresco para la gama iPhone.

El Thread Group quiere ayudarnos a entender mejor las redes Thread que tenemos en casa y para ello está probando una nueva aplicación para Android e iOS. De momento tiene bastantes carencias, pero sí que nos permite ver algunos datos interesantes de nuestros dispositivos con esta tecnología.

Cuando una empresa hace las cosas bien, también hay que decirlo. Y aunque la aplicación de mensajería de Meta no sea de mis favoritas ni mucho menos, la verdad es que lo están haciendo bien en el apartado de la ciberseguridad. Llevan un camino que me gusta mucho.

Andrew kicks off with a fast-moving smart home news roundup, then sits down with Mehul, co-founder of Matic, to unpack how his team built a radically different robot vacuum. The conversation covers Apple event rumors, new smart home apps, Sonos hardware updates, and then goes deep on robot design, privacy, AI, and the tradeoffs behind Matic's no-dock approach.Key topicsAndrew previews the upcoming Apple event, including the iPhone 18 Pro, a possible foldable iPhone, new Apple Watches, AirPods, and the chance of new smart home hardware.Mehul explains his background in computer vision, including early work at Like.com, Flutter, Google, and Nest security cameras.The pair discuss why Matic was built around a taller, boxier form factor instead of the usual disc-shaped vacuum design.Mehul argues that most robot vacuums are automation without intelligence, while Matic is designed to behave more like a human navigating a home.The show highlights several new smart home apps and utilities, including Overflight, Wallflower 3, and Threadalytics.Andrew and Mehul talk through Sonos' new Beam Ultra and Ace Ultra headphones, plus the importance of app intents and assistant integration.The conversation digs into Apple's rumored smart home push, including a possible home security and monitoring service.Mehul explains why Matic uses on-device vision processing, local privacy-first gesture detection, and cloud-based language parsing only for open-ended voice commands.Andrew shares hands-on impressions of Matic's live activities, room queue controls, vocal prompts, and kid-friendly design details.The episode closes with pricing changes, a six-month return policy, and the broader tradeoff between simplicity, intelligence, and maintenance.Send me your smart home questions and recommendations with the hashtag #SmartHomeInsider.

Repaso a todos los nuevos productos que Apple tiene en la pista de despegue para lanzar al mercado en las próximas semanas o meses. Lo más interesante, para mí, es toda su nueva gama para el hogar.

Una de las cosas que he comprado de cara a la domotización de la nueva casa, es este enchufe inteligente de pared. Con monitorización de energía, Matter y con un diseño minimalista que me encanta.

Si tienes una cuenta de correo de estudiante (te puedes crear una gratis en la web de la UNED), Google está ofreciendo unos descuentos muy interesantes en sus planes de IA. Te cuento qué me motivó a mí a pagar.

Vaya por delante que no he probado este dispositivo, ni seguramente lo vaya a hacer nunca, pero lo traigo a este podcast porque su formato me ha parecido muy curioso. Se trata de un tracker Bluetooth con formato cilíndrico pensado para meterlo dentro del manillar de nuestra bici. No es una mala idea, pero creo que podemos tener una solución mejor con un AirTag.

Andrew O'Hara flies solo this week and covers a packed smart home update with new Apple Home and iOS 27 details, notable product launches from Govee, Eufy, Abode, Sonos, Lutron, SwitchBot, PetLibro, Matic, Dashboard, and Mophie. The episode is especially useful if you care about how Apple Intelligence is being tied to iCloud tiers, or you want to see which new devices are actually doing something meaningfully different.In this episode, Andrew breaks down the newest Apple Home camera summary limits, explains why Govee's updated light strip matters for Matter users, and highlights Eufy's standout solar-powered wall light camera. He also dives into a new AI assistant in SwitchBot, a troubling PetLibro server outage, and Matic's unusually smart vacuum controls that let you point and say what to clean.Key topicsAndrew is flying solo this week after traveling, and he sets up a news-heavy episode focused on smart home updates and reviews.iOS 27 Developer Beta 5 adds a new Apple Home camera summary explainer in Home settings, showing that Apple Intelligence features are being tied to iCloud plan tiers.Apple Home now appears to limit summarized video cameras based on the iCloud tier, separate from HomeKit Secure Video camera limits.Govee's new Strip Light 2 moves from Bluetooth to Wi-Fi and adds Matter over Wi-Fi, making it much more relevant for Apple Home users.The strip also gets updated LumiBlend tech, improved white light reproduction, cut-to-length support, protective coating, and multiple sizes from about 10 feet to 65.6 feet.Eufy's Solar Wall Light Cam S4 is the standout product of the week for Andrew, combining a 4K camera, wall sconce lighting, solar charging, a 10,000 mAh battery, and millimeter-wave motion sensing.Andrew emphasizes why Eufy's radar-based motion detection is a big upgrade over basic PIR or pixel-difference motion sensing.Abode adds two outdoor-friendly sensors: an outdoor contact sensor with weather resistance and a garage tilt sensor for doors, sheds, and hatches.Sonos and Lutron expand their integration so Sonos voice control can operate Lutron Caseta lights, shades, and plugs, while a Pico remote can control Sonos playback.SwitchBot's beta AI assistant, KATA, can control devices across rooms, check battery status, guide setup, and even create automations through natural language.PetLibro had server issues that disrupted some pet feeders, fountains, and litter boxes, raising Andrew's recurring concern about cloud dependence in smart home gear.Matic unveils Matic Cues, a major AI-driven update for its vacuum that lets users speak naturally, point to messes, and command the robot to clean specific spots.Andrew also reviews a new Dashboard app for Apple Home and RTSP cameras that focuses on a clean dashboard-first experience.The episode closes with the Mophie 4-in-1 charging stand, which adds a hidden retractable USB-C cable and manages to stay compact without active cooling.Send me your smart home questions and recommendations with the hashtag #SmartHomeInsider.

On today's show we discuss Ara's garage door plan for integrating it into HomeKit, we help a listener decide on which receiver to buy, and we ask whether Atmos is worth it for a family room. We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: Get YouTube TV For Just $67.99 a Month Down From $82.99 For The Rest of 2026 How many subscribers do major live TV streamers have? Other: Bingebuster  THIRDREALITY Smart Garage Door Opener Last week I discussed my garage door situation where MyQ does not integrate with Apple's HomeKit. I explained that I will be using a solution called ratgdo (Rage Against The Garage Door Opener). A few of the listeners emailed and suggested that I look at the ThirdReality Smart Garage Door Opener). Available at Amazon for $50.  Issues for me: When you install it in Apple home it installs as a lightbulb.  I added it to Home Assistant first because I knew Apple HomeKit was going to treat it like a light instead of a garage door. In Home Assistant, it shows up as a light entity, with the on off state following the tilt sensor. To make it behave like a real garage door, I created a Template Cover helper and set the device class to Garage. For the state, I used the template to report open when the light is on and closed when it's off. Then I set the Open and Close actions to call the light.turn_on service on the light entity, so pressing Open or Close in Home Assistant is basically the same as pressing the garage remote button. After that, it shows up and behaves like a garage door inside Home Assistant, with the right open/closed status based on the tilt sensor. It's mechanical. Batteries After Jorge's email,I am now looking past these issues and considering this solution. And yet another listener provided even more fuel for this fire! David writes in and says: Most door operators have a provision for a wall mounted pushbutton ( the same one used for years).  It's a momentary pushbutton closure. There is a cold contacts switch which operates in the Matter smart home standard.  As a result it works in all the various smart home systems.  It's a Shelly 1 Mini Gen 4 device…about $25.   I have installed mine into my Apple HomeKit system to operate my Genie garage door opener.  There is no sensing of the position of the door in the Shelly 1 Mini Gen 4 - it is only for operating the door. I have used the IKEA "MYGGBETT" door/window sensor ($10) to sense the position of the door - it is also Matter compliant.  It is the usual magnet/reed switch pair.   I have used this sensor to also trigger a light inside my house to signal an open garage door. The Apple Home automation could be written to close and open door after 10 PM.  Or close a door open for more than 1 hour. Marantz, Denon, or Onkyo • Marantz Cinema 70s • Denon AVR-X2800H • Onkyo TX-RZ30 Onkyo TX-RZ30 Pros 9 amplified channels (supports 5.2.4 or 7.2.2 Atmos) Full-bandwidth Dirac Live included (major value) THX Select + IMAX Enhanced certified Dual independent subwoofer outputs + full pre-outs Strong power (~100W/ch) and generally excellent reviews for sound and value Cons Dirac setup can be finicky Onkyo's past reliability reputation still in the back of my mind Denon AVR-X2800H Pros Reliable, polished, user-friendly experience Solid Audyssey MultEQ XT room correction Good, balanced sound and strong HDMI features Much better reliability and support Cons Only 7 channels (max 5.2.2 Atmos without external amps) No Dirac (Audyssey is good but not as advanced) Marantz Cinema 70s Pros Slim, stylish design that fits media cabinets Marantz sound  Pre-outs for future expansion Cons Lower power (~50W/ch) — best for smaller/efficient speakers Only 7 channels More expensive relative to performance and channel count Recommendation: Onkyo TX-RZ30 It delivers the most meaningful advantages for the money — 9 channels, including full Dirac Live, THX certification, and independent dual subs. The Denon is the safer "set-it-and-forget-it" choice if you prioritize polish and reliability, while the Marantz is best if you specifically need a slim form factor. For performance and value in a modern Atmos setup, the RZ30 is the clear winner right now. Is Atmos Worth it for a Family Room? Yes, Atmos is usually worth it in a typical family room — but with some practical caveats. Why it's worth it The overhead effects (rain, helicopters, debris, ambiance) add noticeable immersion even in a normal living/family room. A lot of modern movies, streaming shows, and games take advantage of it. Realistic expectations for a family room The "wow" factor is more subtle than in a dedicated theater. You're not going to get the same dramatic height effects you hear in a big cinema. Placement matters a lot. Up-firing Atmos speakers work okay if your ceiling isn't too high or absorbent, but actual in-ceiling or on-ceiling speakers sound better. Aesthetics Committee — extra speakers on or near the ceiling are more noticeable in a shared family space. Bottom line recommendation If you are starting from scratch and have access to wire ceiling speakers do it. If you don't have access you won't miss too much. Skip if the budget is tight, ceiling placement is difficult, or you mostly watch TV/sports rather than movies. A solid 5.1.2 Atmos setup is the sweet spot for most family rooms. You'll get most of the benefit without needing a full 7.1.4 layout.
