Thank you for the information you provide on this channel. I recently purchased a new construction home came equipped with a Ring Doorbell, myQ capable garage door, ecobee thermostat, Zwave capable entry light, and Zwave capable front door bolt lock. The entry light and front door lock are connected to a Wink hub, which is currently connected to my router via Ethernet to high speed router w/ 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz wifi and 1Gig Internet bandwidth. I have an iPhone SE (watchOS 7.2), Apple Watch Series 3 Cellular (iOS 14.3), and Apple TV (Model A1842, tvOS 14.3), iCloud subscription. Is it possible to integrate this entire setup in HomeKit? Thank you!

Automations in shortcuts can be fun, but they can be a pain to set up. I had to watch a ton of videos to figure out how to use it & still don’t feel that I have a solid understanding of how to get shortcuts to work seamlessly. I feel like Apple’s UX team didn’t do a whole lot of UserTesting here.

@ShaneCreates 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks Jacques, glad it was helpful. To use an Apple TV as a hub, you just need to sign into iCloud with the same Apple ID that you use on your iPhone. I believe it will then be automatic but you can check in the settings that it's connected as a home hub. Here's a short article with some more info about using your Apple TV as a hub: www.macrumors.com/how-to/set-up-apple-tv-as-home-hub-homekit/

We want to setup a HomeKit smart home and would like your advise on what system/hub or what ever gizmo or gadget to get, to control our Samsung air conditioners and other devices in our smart home ecosystem via Siri. Have heard of the hoobs hub or ecobee thermostat. Please Keep in mind we are living in deep dark technology starved South Africa. Or would you suggest a polyamores relationship with Siri and Alexa. Your advise will be greatly appreciated to avoid costly mistakes. King regard

Hey Shane, Great info for an Apple Home newbie. I have used many smart home devices in the past but am looking at the Kasa KS200 smart switch which is Apple Home compatible. If I understood your video correctly, I don't need a HomeKit hub to have Siri control it if I am at home. Is that correct? The video implies that I would only need the hub if I want to control it from somewhere else. IOW, if my phone is on my home WiFi, then Siri will work. Do I have that right?
