    You don’t know how much potential Apple had with the smart home! – Yea, we have HomePod and Apple TV. But, what if we had homeOS with HomeKit accessories, with more Apple hardware. I’d spend every dime I had in a heartbeat. I want the company to expand their resources into something like this! I really love them, but HomePod isn’t enough!

    Theoretically, I can use a Nest doorbell and a Ring spotcam, and see the feeds on my Apple TV in the Home app with this update?

      Ring needs to support HomeKit for this to work which is still unlikely

    How about something basic like a real intercom instead of a PA system called an intercom.
