I love Apple Home. It has its flaws, but— just like Lemmy— I love trying out bleeding-edge tech like Thread, Matter, mesh based routers and sick lighting. I also mess around with Homebridge, and I’ve considered trying Home Assistant. I’ve learned a lot, and I want to collaborate with other home automation enthusiasts. I’m going to try to post more to that community, but I wanted to put this out there if anyone is interested in collaborating with me to build up that community.

I think a lot of people like that it’s a preinstalled app on their phone. And especially now that they have guest mode. You can impress people that have iPhones and literally know nothing about smart homes by saying “hey check the home app on your phone, I just gave you guest access”.

In practice, I’ve never actually used guest mode, but I think it is a cool selling point.
