Product Information

GARDENA smart Gateway — supports GARDENA smart Irrigation Control, Power Adapter, Sensor, and Water Control There are pros and cons, but we use it ourselves for its straightforward integration with Apple gizmos. The platform is baked into the phone you already own, so it couldn’t be easier to get started. You can simply add items like smart light bulbs or plugs to your home setup, and include a smart speaker through Apple’s HomePod or a streaming device like the Apple TV. Either of these can act as a “home hub”, enabling you to command and automate your home while you’re away.

Note: This will always set the target temperature to 1 degree above the inside temperature displayed on your Hive thermostat.

Apple HomeKit is super simple

Keep in mind that you can’t yet watch Freeview on an Apple TV, but you’ll be able to install broadcaster apps such as BBC iPlayer to watch live TV channels.

Update your iPhone or iPad to the latest version of iOS or iPadOS. To use the Home app on Mac, update your Mac to the latest version of macOS. Open the iPhone ‘Settings’ app > Tap your Apple ID at the top > Tap ‘iCloud’ > Scroll down and enable ‘iCloud Drive’ > Scroll down further and enable ‘Hive’. The Keurig K-Mini single serve coffee maker is a stylish coffee maker that looks good in any kitchen or break room. It suits smaller spaces particularly well, as it’s less than five inches wide. Despite its smaller size, it’s still fully capable. It can brew any cup size between 6-12 ounces, and it’s able to brew coffee, tea, cocoa, and even iced beverages. The Keurig K-Mini single serve coffee maker has easy cord storage for transport and tidying up your countertop after use, and an energy efficiency feature turns the coffee maker off automatically 90 seconds after your last brew. One important distinction between the apps here, Eve and Home+ need ALL conditions to be met, where Controller allows you to specify ANY or ALL.

You can always keep an eye on your home with the best HomeKit door and window sensors, regardless of the one you choose. If we want to have a branching condition, for example, being one which does different actions depending on conditional results. This would typically be an if-then-else function; if condition A and B then do C, otherwise if B and D do E. You may also have additional conditions on the second action. The Apple TV comes in a HD or 4K version, I’d recommend going for the 4K version if you want to future-proof your setup. The TV can be voice-controlled via the Siri button on the remote.

Apple TV can also act as a HomeKit hub and you can use the Apple TV to trigger scenes. However, you can’t create new scenes or add accessories as there’s no Home app for the Apple TV just yet. Unlike other products on this list, this one requires a drill for installation. Nevertheless, it completely blends into your door, window, and frame. This door window alarm comes with strong adhesive tape, making it easy to install. The alarm system magnet should be kept within 8mm of the host to ensure correct installation. My recommendation is the HomePod Mini (especially since Apple announced in 2021 that they were discontinuing the flagship HomePod). It’s also the only HomeKit hub that supports Thread.

Open ‘Settings‘ app > Tap your Apple ID at the top > Tap ‘iCloud’ > Scroll down to ‘Keychain’ > Enable.

When it comes to the cool factor, there’s just something awesome about your blinds or curtains opening by themselves in the morning. This is no longer the work of sci-fi, Siri can now handle that for you. Well, its encryption occurs between the devices on your wifi, rather than in the cloud. This is why you need a HomeKit hub to control devices when you’re away from home, because the hub will encrypt your data before it ever gets sent to Apple’s cloud. This means data won’t be exposed to even Apple employees.The Netatmo Smoke Alarm is the only device I came across that’s available in the UK and directly supports HomeKit. It doesn’t connect directly to a HomePod, you’ll need to connect it to your Wi-Fi router and set it up with the native app before adding it to HomeKit. If you specify one or more people for Anyone Arrives/Leaves, any one of those people will trigger the rule. The Homepod Mini might be small in size, but it delivers crisp audio that’s perfect for day-to-day listening, and with 360-degree sound, it fills the room. You can also pair two HomePod Mini’s for left-right audio.
