We are at the beginning of the tech busy season and I for one am pretty excited.  Smart home manufacturers have been busy pushing out Matter updates and entirely new devices and something feels fresh about it all.  In this episode, we talk about a couple of Matter updates and a new product from SwitchBot, look forward to some Apple Home-related releases at IFA, and Aqara is up to their usual product drop shenanigans with their first international lighting product.  We round out today’s episode with my uncommon, but miserably irritating experience with some Matter devices. Did you know there are lots of different ways to support what we do here at myHOmeKithome?  https://myhomekithome.com/thankyou📰HomeKit News ArticlesIt’s Now Even Better than Before..SwitchBot Curtain 3 is Here!An Even Better Matter Experience, Now Thanks to an Upgraded Hub 2.Philips Hue Rumor Suggests 4 Smart Home Cameras on the WayLeviton’s New Outdoor Smart Plug is the First to work with MatterLeviton Decora Outdoor Smart Plug🌟HomeKit Products Mentioned in Today’s ShowSave 10% on the SwitchBot Curtain 3 exclusively as a myHOmeKithome Podcast listener by using promo code MQ10SBAA and the link below. Get the SwitchBot Curtain 3: https://geni.us/Qser Get the SwitchBot Solar Panel for Curtain3: https://geni.us/yoWaGet the SwitchBot Contact Sensor: https://geni.us/72sRAyGet the SwitchBot Motion Sensor: https://geni.us/VQV1giGet the SwitchBot Lock: https://geni.us/B106YZGet the SwitchBot Blind Tilt: https://geni.us/6ZsVOGet the SwitchBot Hub 2: https://geni.us/sE4U0nAGet the Sequra Smart Door Knob with Apple Home: https://geni.us/MVXS1Get the Sequra Smart Door Knob with Fingerprint: https://geni.us/wSxDJ Get the Eve Cam: https://geni.us/jyciuwBGet the Leviton Decora Smart Switch: https://geni.us/2AwE3D7 Get the Leviton Decora Smart Dimmer Switch: https://geni.us/KLUHxyyGet the Leviton Decora Smart Plug: https://geni.us/OlPID1Get the Leviton Decora Smart Dimmer Plug: https://geni.us/QuXf6TpGet the Meross Dual Outdoor Smart Plug: https://geni.us/Nxu1DGet the Meross 3-outlet Outdoor Smart Plug: https://geni.us/2jgHAGet the Aqara Light Strip T1: https://geni.us/oOiAtjDGet the Aqara Pet Feeder C1: https://geni.us/FeuCE🎥 RELATED ViSupport the show
