I don’t understand all the frustration with Homekit or siri...is it perfect absolutely not...my whole house was set up with Alexa, I’m mean everything! I finally switched to homekit exclusively over the summer, all I own are apple products, iphone, apple watch, apple tv...having Alexa was just not needed when my ecosystem was completely apple. Have set up 4 homepods around the house, cut down from 20 echo devices (dots, shows, speakers, they were everywhere, I give them for free to friends now lol)...my WHOLE house is now controlled by Homekit and Siri, garage doors, all lights, all tv‘s, thermostat, arlos....all products that support homekit work rock solid, apple shortcuts are amazing, products that don’t support homekit I connect with hoobs...that is all you need, if you don’t know how to set homekit up and do the homework then blame yourself...geez! Siri understands my whole family, has hiccups just like Alexa...I can truly say homekit is fine and truly destroys Alexa! try setting up a really cool automation on Alexa, lol please...u can do one on homekit in 2 minutes, if u know what you are doing...what I wish, was that Apple still had wifi routers, I truly believe Homekit would be perfect with a router built by apple for homekit, cheaper homepods, and Apple version of a Alexa show...that is all Homekit needs...people you need to research homekit, figure out what really works with it, and be amazed...don’t fall for the ring traps, where they promise homekit and never deliver, but hey I was still able to integrate ring security with hoobs, and if you don’t know about hoobs and homebridge, that explains why you don’t know anything about homekit...enough ranting...and yes all my blinds and drapes are all controlled by homekit too...rant over
