Homekit eta?

Thank you.  I watched that a few weeks ago but I was looking for a more detailed answer I guess.  A lot of companies have promised certain compatibilities and have not followed thru.  I just want to be sure before I pull the trigger!

same here, waiting for homekit support before i purchase simplisafe

You should give it a try.  It cost more for a reason!  Better software, security, and they don't sell your information like amazon and google do..

Apple products are superior.  Take a mac computer for example, no viruses and will still be working 3 years later with no slow down.  Can't say the same thing with any other brand.  They also have the best software and user experience.....................Ok so they mailed advertisements to you under your family member names because you have purchased from them..........At least they don't sell your family photos, internet history, and other sensitive information.  If you have an amazon echo or google home it's even worse.  You can be discussing something near it and that product will be advertised on your facebook or google search right after.  Who knows what else they are collecting and selling and for what reasons.

I'm a little confused by your comment.  You said that "you" ordered stuff to "your" house with your family members names on it, and to this day, you get junk mail addressed to the names of the family members that "you" ordered, and the junk mail is coming to "your" house.  Thats like saying that I subscribed to an online blog, and put my relatives name in the "name" field, and now I'm getting emails from blog sent to "my" inbox, but the emails are addressed to my relatives name.

Apple didn't sell your info, they're just sending "junk" mail to your address because "you" put your address when you made those purchases, and they using your family members names because "you" used your family members names.  It doesn't matter if the family members you used had ever lived at your address.

Also, I'm surprised to hear this about "junk mail' because I also worked for Apple, and I had purchased many items using my discount, and friends and family, and I don't get any "junk mail" from them.

Furthermore, it takes more time for a company to make a product himekit enabled because they have to get the required chip through Apple, which results in the connection to "homeKit" more secure then google, or amazon. So maybe security isn't as important when your connecting a smart lightbulb, or ceiling fan to your home wifi, and controlling from your phone, but I'd say smart locks, cameras, and security systems are pretty damn important things to be secure.

I agree. Apple Music songs are good for streaming on players with the app. I use the DRmare Audio Converter Mac to save the songs on the phone with my subscription. The songs converter are lossless and I put them on my own players for offline listening.
