The @GoveeOfficialLED Strip light M1 is passed #Matter certification. This means the smart LED light strip will also work for #HomeKit users via #AppleHome. No timeline for the firmware release - But the hard part is out of the way -homekitauthority.com/govee-led-stri…

Apple just released #iOS16.2 RC which means we “should” get the final release within 2 weeks A new #HomeKit architecture coming in iOS, iPadOS and macOS which Apple says is designed to bring faster, more reliable performance, especially in homes with a lot of smart home devices.

Wow, #Matter is less than 2 months old & it’s already been talked down. ⭐️ Remember what’s been achieved so far! It’s been a huge effort! ⭐️ It’s going to take time for it to mature ⭐️ Mistakes will be made I am sure ⭐️ Still don’t buy on a promise ⭐️ keep an open mind!

Lots of debate since the announcement on the matter delay. If you are ALL in on #HomeKit than Matter will have little impact on you for existing devices. Regardless if Thread, Wifi, bluetooth or whatever, they will still work.

Another new product from @merosshome and it’s a smart smoke alarm that works with, you guessed it… #HomeKit. The device requires an hub, but this is possibly the start of many meross sensors that will work with this hub. More details here 👇🏻 homekitauthority.com/meross-smart-s…

Maybe a far out idea, but what do you think to a portable #HomePodmini that is charged via #MagSafe? Within the Home it works over WiFi and if you take it on a picnic you can #airplay directly to the speaker via #iPhone. Yes I can see challenges if it’s the only #Homekit hub.
