it’s useless using a □ & this app alone, as you travel across data & wifi realms - that type of info needs a place to stash itself. This app gives me clarity □□♀️ i’ve noticed that a lot of ppl have issues w/ their devices staying connected - an tv might be needed to ground ur hub. Ultimately if this is the application that will be used to control all sorts of basic functions like turning lights on, it needs to be a lot closer to 100% reliable. There should be more ways of diagnosing issues like that in Home. I assume some of the connectivity issues are because of my network setup, but I need clear pointers on what needs improvement. But also it’s way less consistent than the regular Apple standard. There are no longer any Home widgets for the home screen, and the control center implementation often doesn’t actually match the state of what’s present in the Home app. Routinely Siri is unable to accomplish tasks that rely on Home. But despite lots of troubleshooting, I’d estimate that 30% of the time I open this app, everything in my house simply shows as disconnected. I have ~20 accessories connected to it and for the most part they work well. I’ve been using Home pretty much every day since launch. Once set the automations will automatically be seen in Home. Along with Home I use the Eve app which has a great interface for setting automations, changing lighting hues, power % and Rooms.

I use 2 iPod Mini and an IPad for the Hub but only one is the Hub at any given time and The IPad is supposed to be phased out. Now that Thread is becoming more prevalent it seems more accessories are becoming available. I haven’t had many problems and the only reason I gave it a 3 Star is because there needs more products. ** Requires iPhone XS or later, Apple Watch Series 4 or later. * Requires HomePod or Apple TV as a home hub and an iCloud+ plan.
