In this post, we take a look at the compact, HomeKit-enabled VOCOlinc SmartBar Smart Plug.
This post will walk you through automations based on when an accessory is controlled using Apple’s Home app.
In this post, we take a look at some slightly more advanced automations based on outdoor environment information. In a previous post, we looked at automations based on indoor environment information and this is its outdoor brother.
Fortunately or unfortunately, we’re often bound by time and schedules in our modern world. If you are someone who has difficulty dealing with this, Apple’s HomeKit automations are here to help. Create schedules for accessories, increase security and safety, and help yourself get to work on time with these nifty automations.
If you are removing a HomeKit accessory for any reason, it’s good practice to not only reset the accessory itself, but to also remove it from your iCloud setup. Also, prior to the setup process for this accessory, iHome recommends that you perform a factory reset. Here’s how to do it!
This post looks at one of the bestselling smart plugs out there, the iHome ISP6X. Join us as we set it up and try to find out why this smart plug is so popular.
In this post, we continue our series on HomeKit automations exploring location-based automations for when people leave a location. These have a lot in common with the people arrive automations, but there is a lot of useful content here.
It’s not so common, but maybe one day your Eve Weather has a rainy day itself and it needs a pick-me-up. Or, maybe you are moving houses or you want to give it to a friend because you picked up a snazzy new Eve Degree. Either way, you’ll want to reset it and this video shows you how to do it.
We setup and review Eve Weather, an outdoor temperature and humidity sensor with the added benefit of being HomeKit-enabled.
This is the first in a series that we’ll be doing over the coming weeks and months that is all about my favorite part of HomeKit and home automation in general and that is, well, automations. This post explores what we can do in HomeKit when people arrive to a location.
