Apple Tried Hard to Sell Me on the HomeView as a Seamless Smart Home Experience and Succeeded
I'm not easily impressed when it comes to smart home hubs, here's why the HomeView is different. I test smart home devices for a living, but even I find it challenging to use and manage the ones in my home.
AI Summary
The reviewer, who tests smart‑home devices professionally, says Apple’s HomeView stands out from typical hubs that often feel cumbersome. Their own setup includes Hue bulbs, Govee lamps, Dreo smart ceiling fans, TP‑Link plugs, Eufy cameras, Whisker smart litter boxes and robot vacuums, all linked through an Amazon Echo Show 8 with Alexa integration. Despite this complex array, the HomeView delivers a “functional” experience, which the reviewer cites as the highest compliment they can give.
