Traveling internationally now. 1:30am local time, I wake up and see a missed call from the alarm response company. I have my Abode keypads set up as motion detectors in Away mode. The alarm company couldn’t reach me so they sent the police. The bummer is, there was nothing wrong. The camera that is in the same room as the keypad did not show any motion. That’s my one free false alarm and it makes me question the reliability of the Abode system.

A big difference I found between these two doorbells is that the WeMo only works with mechanical/analog (ding-dong) door bells. (One leatns this after checking the instructions.) There are instructions that basically tie the front wire to transformer for digital doorbells, but this disables the much louder chime and only leaves HomeKit notifications. The larger chime kit for the Logitech includes a switch so it can be used with both analog and digital doorbells.

Eric - just bought 2 U50 locks on Prime Day. Installed one, completed the process, and then went to pair it with my H3 hub. It was then that i realized that i installed the lock on our vacation home's page in the Aqara app. I reinstalled it in the correct home, but upon trying to reset the lock, it prompts for the pairing password. I didn't keep it from the initial install and now cannot reset the lock. I've tried Aqara support (not good) - no response. Are you aware of a way that i can either expose the pairing password, or bypass it to get the lock installed? Thanks in advance for your help.

The problem with the AppleTV4k tvOS is that it doesn’t pass through Dolby TrueHD Atmos - so when I want to play my UltraHD BD films from my local file server, rather than touching plastic discs , the AppleTV crushes that audio to a flat 7.1 lpcm feed. Because “reasons”, which nvidea shield and Amazon don’t seem to have an issue with. The Apple blocking of letting me play my media the way I want, is still an obstacle. But it’s part of the broader industry trend as companies run this space into the ground trying to lock everyone into their own ecosystems. I have a 4K but each world just doesn’t play with the others so I cannot see my ring camera on my Google tv from Sony fed by my appletv4k. And that’s a shame in 2024.

It seems so ridiculous to me that 90% of comments are anger based. Why would you just automatically assume that just because a product supports HomeKit, that it would also have HKSV? The majority of video doorbells that support HomeKit do not support HKSV. The only ones I can think of are the Logitech Circle View, Belkin Wemo, Aqara G4, and Robin ProLine which costs 1,500 Euros. He never said that this doorbell supported HKSV. I also only use HomeKit and would like a doorbell option that includes HKSV. I bought the Logitech Circle View when it first came out and it didn't take long for the doorbell to be very frequently unavailable because of overheating issues, until it stopped working altogether. The Belkin Wemo has an extreme fisheye lens that I find totally unacceptable. The Aqara is ugly in my opinion and has that stupid chime box that I don't need. And the Robin ProLine is outrageously expensive. So I guess I can buy this one now or wait for I don't know how many more years until we get a good HKSV solution. It used to be that you couldn't find any video doorbell for less than $10/month. Now it's half that so it doesn't seem too horrible to me. Also, I'm thinking about getting this doorbell and not subscribing to the service. I live in a pretty safe neighborhood, so I'm not sure that I need recordings. Maybe just having a live feed would be enough for my situation. Plus, when someone comes to the door, it will pop up on both the Apple TV and the thermostat.

HomePods with scenes is a mess. It makes the scenes fail more than they already do. Plus, there is a limit on scenes. I’ve used all of mine on trivial things like the lights off for a room and now I can’t set scenes I want for hosting or holiday events. I mostly just use shortcuts now without scenes because it fails less. Apple needs to give HomeKit and shortcut some real attention.

Great and informative video. I am using Unifi Protect cameras and NVR in my environment. Apple Homekit recordings come handy for me as Unifi haven't come up with a way to store videos in the cloud automatically (especially the ones motion triggerred). I use HomeBridge and a Unifi plugin to have my cameras stream on my Homekit setup (currently testing scrypted) and for me this is only a backup solution in the event of a break in where my NVR would be stolen or a fire where I would lose my videos... This way, I would have a copy of the videos accessible in the cloud from homekit. I understand that some triggers can be missed but in my case, this is not too concerning as all my videos are recorded on my Unifi NVR. I can deal with that and it provides me with a great and easy solution for cloud storage.

Heads up, if you hardwire ethernet to your Apple TV, it will always default to that as the main hub. HomeKit has an algorithm that picks the best hub based on things like speed of connection, reliability of connection, and placement with accessories. That being said, if you hardwire your Apple TV, it will always be the fastest and most reliable connection and default to that. Hope this helps!

After watching another KZreadr I purchased the Aqara U200 and I've spent over 9 hours trying to connect it to Apple Home. I asked the KZreadr how to do this and he removed my question, clearly he is only interested in earning commission and free product from Aqara. Long story short our Apple TV hub default user is my husband so there is unfortunately no way for me to connect the Aqara U200 to Apple Home. Lock companies need to realize they must have multiple admins, we all have an expiration date and only permitting one admin is making life complication for those who pass on and leave family members who have to deal with unlocking a home and setting up a new admin. Having two admins solves this problem. Long story short Aqara has terrible customer support - I tried using their app and could not calibrate the lock, troubleshooting resetting and resetting nothing work the calibration always failed. So disheartened that Shane removed my questions from his comments - he lost a sub and you've gained one, you are clearly more upfront with your reviews and sincerely interested in helping your viewers. What matter over thread lock do you recommend that has finger print and home key?

No it's just 2 pairs of the same stereo, not quad. Imagine a sound that starts front left, then moves front right, then rear right, then rear left. It would sound like you are being circled. All apple can do at the moment, is left to right or right to left ...stereo. Even with 4 speakers, it's still stereo. I know that the Homepod wizzardry can compensate to some extent, but real quad channel should only really be a software update. Given the cost of 4x homepods is up in home theatre country, apple should really do this.
