I just preordered my homeview and I want to replace my ring cameras. I have ruled out unifi cameras with scrypted. It looks too complicated to me. I don’t have any device to run scrypted on. I would also have to invest in a unifi system with the NVR, etc. I know that’s the best option out there, but I don’t think I need the best system.

I don’t need 24/7 continuous recording. Events based recording is good enough for me. The main thing I want is very quick loading on the Apple TV and HomeView to see who’s at the front door quickly and some AI features, especially facial recognition. Any thoughts on going with an Eve, Aqara, or waiting for the LG camera?

I have iCloud Plus and would like to use HomeKit secure video. I will be very disappointed if there’s a lag on HomeView or Apple TV. when I want to see who’s at the front door quickly. That’s probably the most important factor to me.

I should’ve also mentioned that I have fiber Internet. My ring cameras do load very quickly on the app. But I’m willing to go with power over Ethernet if there’s a huge difference in speed.

The other thing I would do is get a simple unifi protect system with a few cameras and forget about Apple integration for now. I will be curious if their AI features are superior to the new Apple system.

Just caught up on this week’s event and noticed a few journalists/influencers mentioned it was a ‘look, but don’t touch’ event and even the demos outside of the dislay room were operated by Apple team members only. Seems weird for a small event like this, particularly given this device has supposedly been ready since 2024. I had a few questions I hoped to find answers too but all I can find is the exact same question overview.

- Can I set other HomePods as the permanent default output? Similar to the options in an Apple TV? I want to wall mount one and use it with my stereo pair HomePods.

- Can I disable calls and messages completely? I will never use it for calls and don’t want it ringing every-time I get one.

- Are there expanded privacy controls in Apple Home with this? Eg can I let my kids control their bedroom lights but nothing else etc etc

A couple of weeks ago, overnight, Apple Home (the app) decided to change the location of my home about 500ft east. The location of my home in my contacts, Apple Maps, and Find My is all correct, but now Apple Home has broken all of my geo-fenced home automations. I’ve looked online and have done everything short of deleting and recreating my home (really don’t want to re-add the numerous devices again). Has anyone had this issue and solved it without having to do the nuclear option?

anyone else struggling with the ios27 update? I have no idea how to fully scroll through video feeds anymore. Why does it switch cameras instead? does Apple even test things?

There is no mention on the website, but is there an ability to combine it with other speakers in, say, the kitchen so you have maybe 2 or 3 Homepod Minis and they all work out where they all are in relation to each other - or at least all you to have a Homepod allow you to have a second speaker, so you can use it as a proper speaker for dancin' rather than just coming from the one unit?

Hola ojalá puedan ayudarme, resulta que agregué la tv LG a mi habitación y una vez encendida puedo apagarla pero ya apagarla no puedo encenderla por comandos de voz.

Totally newbie to HK here. Got some Aqara cameras and they installed fine by just scanning the QR code. The W200 doesn’t seem to have the code to scan. Is there something different about it? It can’t just add straight into HK?
