Yes, I'm the one in the group DM that turns the bubbles green, I'm sorry.

But other than that, I don't hear many other reasons why people actually prefer iPhones over Androids. What other reasons are there?

It used to be guaranteed OS updates for me. But now that I’m in the ecosystem it’s too much of a hassle to switch.

Between HomeKit, having an Apple Watch & AirPods and now using macOS for work everything is convenient.

The HomeKit part maybe changing though.

Yea I completely forgot to mention HomeKit in my comment! Is it kind of generic and do I wish it could do more? Yea, but damn is it nice to tell Siri “goodnight” and all the light in the house go out, the doors lock, and the alarm sets! Plus my partner can use it better than home assistant, and if I need my bro to come watch my house for a week, I can give him access on his phone and revoke it any time!

Have you integrated Home Assistant with HomeKit yet? I’ve yet to make the jump but really need to

[-] DRx@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I have and for the most part it’s actually really good and responsive… live video feeds aren’t working like I want (no live video, just an updated scene every 30 seconds), but house alarm, lights, garage door, outlets, door locks all work great and all of it is through home assistant then to HomeKit … none of my devices are “HomeKit” compatible, I use mostly z-wave and have home assistant parse the info and tunnel though home
