Just Appreciating the Accessibility of Apple Home Kit

2023-08-03 Thread M. Taylor
Hello Everyone, During the winter, I had a Home Kit compatible thermostat installed in my house. I continue to truly appreciate the temperature control I now enjoy via iOS and iPad OS. Until I installed this thermostat, I either had to turn the A/C either on or off. The old legacy thermostats w

Looks interesting, but I don’t see how it repeats your home SSID. Definitely worth further investigation, though. Thanks! > On Aug 3, 2023, at 7:50 PM, Jonathan Cohn wrote: > > OK, I decided to look this up now. > > Here is a quick video of the device. > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUIL

Hello, I was listening I believe to the Accidental Tech Podcast this week where it was mentioned about travel wireless hot spots. These are designed to connect to a hotel network and provide your home SSID and password. I believe the vendor was TP. I’ll look tomorrow to see if I can find the refe

Hi Brad, That is what I had to do when I wanted to connect to a hotel network. But I figured that had something to do with their network. Apple really ought to make it easier to change networks, especially on the HomePod mini. They’re so small that they’re great for travel, but having to res

Well, there were two issues. First, in the Home app, I did not see any option for telling it to connect to a different net work. I also saw no indication that it saw my personal hotspot. I did try the thing with my iPad, I was able to set it up, but when I pressed play, nothing happened. Cheers,

Hello, I will opine here that it would be very strange if a homepod did not connect to hotspot. I was able to connect my Echo dot to personal hotspot so I don't see why a homepod would not be able to connect in this manner. One could also make their computer a wifi access point and connect devices

I use the USB option to connect my Mac and I don’t think my connection drops. I successfully used my iPhone 13 once to connect Zoom, Clubhouse, and stream so it works pretty well! I limit other traffic like Dropbox and what not to help out though. > On Aug 3, 2023, at 05:19, 'Donna Goodin' via

My understanding is that to change the wifi network, you have to reset the HomePod to factory settings, and start over. That is what I had to do when I changed my home wifi network. I’ve never tried it, but it wouldn’t surprise me if the HomePod will not connect to your iPhone hotspot. - Brad -

I think I have to agree with Lenron and Joe. It ought to at least be a setting so the user can choose how it wants the hot spot to behave. Cheers, Donna > On Aug 3, 2023, at 6:50 AM, > wrote: > > 100% agree. I think they do it more for conserving your battery, but again > that should be my
