Home: On #157 – Pondering HomeKit with Jeff Butts from The Mac Observer

Home: On - a DIY home automation podcast from The Digital Media Zone

Jeff Butts, Managing Editor at The Mac Observer joins us. We ponder why Signify would want to get into the security game (and why consumers would want them to), discuss some updates on previously reported news, and dive into a discussion about the current state of HomeKit. New architectures, Shortcuts, and Matter…and what’s with this Works with Apple Home thing? It’s all getting kind of messy.
