Is anyone else’s getting excited for the rumored Apple Home Hub, whether it’s announced next week or later in the year?

I’ve been looking into some sort of dashboard and control panel for a while now, but it looks like it needs to be dyi. Apple is good at making things just work. Echo show is fairly useless plus has ads and collects personal data, but Apple has been selling on privacy. Most other products have been too simple or restricted or locked in but apple has been big on matter-thread, apple has fairly mature software. Most importantly I can expose a lot of controls from Home Assistant over HomeKit. Apple home hub could finally be the one.

I’m not the moderator, but I picked the community with the most subscribers. Would love to learn more about your HomeKit setups! Please join!

Hi all, can I extend my Aqara zigbee network (which I primarily use with temperature and humidity sensors in HomeKit) with a zigbee repeater?

So the home app supports adding an other home to the configuration e.g. a vacation residence. This implies devices on an entire other location with a high probability of being connected to an other subnet (due to an other ISP connection etc.), which apple does not support.

One can't just connect another homekit-compatible hub to a hotel wifi and try adding it to the Home app, which I would love to do!

Am I missing out on something?

Basically the title
