Apple TV (2021)? Source: iMore While we did not get a March Apple event like the leakers originally predicted, we expect an updated Apple TV (2021) to drop during Apples "Spring loaded" event on April 20, 2021. After all, this event indicates that there could be a slew of new products coming since it takes up a two-hour slot when you add it to your calendar. We are unsure whether the next Apple TV is just going to be announced and will ship later in the year or if it will be ready sometime in t...

Source: Christopher Close / iMore After the debut of Levels game-changing invisible smart lock a little over a year ago, it was hard to see where the company could go in a follow-up device. Naturally, one would assume that the next lock would be invisible as well, but Level threw everyone a curveball by introducing the Level Touch — a lock that you could see. The switch to a visible smart lock doesnt mean that it looks the part, though, and the new design allows it to hide some remarkable fea...

Source: Christopher Close / iMore Robot vacuums are an incredibly convenient way to keep our homes nice and clean without having to lift a finger. However, as convenient as they are, robot vacs come with their own set of annoyances like small collection bins that you have to empty manually and navigation problems — especially on older models. The latest round of robot vacuums has solved some of these with advanced Light Detection and Ranging Navigation (LiDAR) laser navigation systems and sel...

From the back of our desks and TVs to the outside of our homes, light strips are a quick and simple way to add a touch of color to almost any surface. While light strips have gotten brighter, gained the ability to display multiple colors simultaneously, and even added new wireless capabilities over the years, most have been stuck at the same six-foot length — especially HomeKit-compatible options. One of the latest Home...

The latest and greatest smart cameras can go completely wire-free for months at a time with rechargeable batteries, all while supplying ultra-high-definition 4K imagery, and even have live views summoned on-demand using just our voice.

Source: Christopher Close / iMore After years of unfulfilled promises, limited geographic availability, and disappointing debuts that lacked critical features, HomeKit finally has its first truly great video doorbell — the Logitech Circle View Doorbell. Logitechs doorbell, which somehow managed to sneak onto Apples online store late last year without any previous announcements is here, and it includes everything that you would expect from a HomeKit Secure Video-compatible doorbell: great desi...

Source: Christopher Close / iMore Despite being on the smart home scene for quite a while now, Meross wasnt on the radar for most iOS users until last year, when it began an incredible string of accessory releases that support Apples HomeKit. Whether it was options that made our best HomeKit smart plugs, best HomeKit light switches, best HomeKit lamps, or best HomeKit garage door openers lists, the company came out with a HomeKit solution for just about everything — all at a pace that even I ...

Source: Christopher Close / iMore As someone who is on a never-ending quest to automate every aspect of their home, I have amassed quite a large collection of the best HomeKit accessories over the years. Unfortunately, as much as I love HomeKit, I have had to go outside of the walls of Apples smart home ecosystem to fulfill some of my automation desires, such as with robot vacuums, or video doorbells due to the lack of available options. Naturally, I have always been on the lookout for ways to ...
