Or maybe I can be convinced otherwise. This is the one part that I look forward to the most and woke up early to catch it but it was a complete waste of my time.
Things I was hoping for:
1. Pull down to refresh (annoyed at having to force close the app to update the status of accessories which is quite often)
2. 24/7 recording (a long shot but I can hope)
3. Higher resolution support for cameras
4. Giving granular/parental controls to members of the home (for kids mainly so they can’t access the controls in each other’s rooms along with specific camera access 😉)
5. User ability to select the Home Hub without the dreadful auto switching (admittedly, since switching my network to a Ubiquiti UniFi system, my home hub has been sticking like never before and it’s always a hardwired AppleTV even in the rare event it does switch… but I know a lot of you are out there still living in pain and I can sympathize. The eero was awful with this).
6. The ability to use HomePods as rear surrounds also.
7. More robust automation options like the Eve, Controller and Home+ apps have
8. More appliances than just robo vacs as per the new Matter update.
I hope they at least get rid of some of the bugs iOS 17 introduced to my setup (Philips Hue lights have been terrible for starters).
