Completely agree. It sucks.
I ask it simple stuff and it fails.
Can't even give me train times in London.
Exactly. Siri was a revolution when it was debuted back with the iPhone 4S but they could've done so much more since then to develop it but haven't.
Now with Google Home/Alexa Siri is really isn't good enough currently to make it central to the function of a new product it needs to be smarter......and work really well!
It feels like Apple have fallen a long way behind. The Siri implementation on the Mac is a good example - utterly pointless, as it is so limited.
Absolutely this! It's just an attack vector for a burglar. Who cares if they get in and switch a light on or put your heating on, but to get in an disable an alarm? No thanks!Not sure I'd trust a house alarm hooked up as an IOT device.
Went with tado. They already have homekit support, have zoned heating if you buy extra valves and it can adjust your heating depending on your phones location (if you want it to). Also i wasn't replacing a wired thermostat so needed a remote connection to my radiator, which is available on tado. Not sure about that on nest.
For me tado seemed like a better all round package for roughly the same cost. It just isn't as pretty...
Good news on the Ikea Tradfri lights, sounds like Ikea is committed to rolling out official HomeKit support by the end of the year.
