Time to update my review. HomeKit Insider is a great source for the latest information on Apple Home but also the home automation industry.
Keep u the five star work!
Thank you for helping me decide on which products fit into my home. I’ve been listening for several years and realized I had not reviewed your podcast.
I appreciate the product reviews and your discussions of the pros and cons of the technologies (thread, Bluetooth, WiFi etc) is very helpful when looking at different products... more
Just the right length, just enough raw news plus editorial and product review/suggestions. I listen on Pocket Casts but came here just to share the love and plug the review. Keep up the great work
Great content and really enjoy the Apple centric focus.
This podcast needs to rejigger its focus to HomeKit/Apple Home. There is too much discussion on non-HomeKit related devices like air purifiers, air tags, wallets, or whatever. The podcast is called HomeKit Insider, so let’s stick to the topics mentioned in the title of the show.
While I *want* to like this podcast, I can't get past the host. When he has a guest, he doesn't give her or him enough time to fully express themselves, constantly interrupting and hogging the show. The last episode I listened to--and it will sadly be the last--he had a guest who managed to eat out two or three sentences in the entire interview, even though he was the expert, not I the host.
Sorry, I won't be listening to this podcast anymore.
