...your information though, not the product. They'll sell you out if they get the right MBA.
Homekit is dodgy, for some strange reason stuff randomly disconnects from the network here and there, and require a hard reset every so often.
No idea why but homekit sometimes fails to see some devices, but the manuf app is able to work with them.
Siri is also pretty dumb, for example "Turn off Lights" isnt smart enough to turn off any lights that are on. One must say "Turn of ALL lights".
Im simply saying from my own personal experience, HomeKit and SIRI is very basic and disappointing.
If i knew it was that simple, i wouldnt bother. I just dont care or think what it does is worth the effort to keep it going. Money is not a factor, my personal time is.
Im not interested in bullshit that achieves almost nothing.
Smart door locks are mostly an AirBnB / rental cabin thing.
or you could just accept that a door lock itself is mostly a placebo that at best would slow down or deter only the laziest of intruder and leave your doors unlocked.
What have they really created since steve jobs?
An LG device in your home could potentially hop through it for snooping and fw updates.
Sure on some devices its impossible to avoid, but for generic stuff like cameras and switches, etc - plenty of options are out there.
