    HomeKit Any Reason NOT to Set Thermostat to Auto Heat/Cool?

    My ecobee thermostat and Home app give me the option to set my thermostat to auto heat/cool (as opposed to just heat or just cool).

    Why is Safari so Dumb?

    This happens to every website. I type up to "macru"... I even have a bookmark for macrumors but still the "smart search field" decides to prompt me with a random website link, in this case some stupid us5.list-manage.com.

    Home Wemo/Ring Integration Help

    So I recently bought a pack of Wemo mini outlet switches because they announced HomeKit support. Well, that was a bit premature as I'm still waiting for the update, but another reason why I was waiting for Wemo is the integration with Ring (which has been promising HomeKit for ages). In the Ring...
