HomeKit Insider: A new AppleInsider podcast
HomeKit Insider kicks off with a discussion about the new Apple TV, iPad Pro, iMac, and AirTag. Andrew and Stephen talk about what they ordered with special attention paid to the new Apple TV 4K with Thread.
Also in the last week, the slightly delayed Eve Energy has made its way to market. It quickly sold out and has another brief delay before it will be delivered.
Onvis also released its K1 2M light strip which is unique because it has multiple addressable zones rather than being required to be one solid color. If you were looking to create a pattern or have different areas of the strip display different colors, then this is a great new option that fully works with HomeKit.
On this episode of the HomeKit Insider podcast, Apple TV 4K with Thread support goes on sale, new HomeKit devices come to market, and we tackle a series of new listener questions.
