Did anyone watch the apple keynote today?

Smartthings was in one of the slides for homekit! :open_mouth:

It was the slide talking about Connected Home Over IP

My ring does that on my Samsung :stuck_out_tongue: But the other features do look nice. The auto circadian lighting is a nice feature.

Interesting! Thanks for sharing!

Sadly my samsung TV is a 2015 so no love there unless i buy a new TV, but i already have my ring doorbell in homekit so i can finally see the light at the end of that automation tunnel.

I’m looking forward to that one too, hopefully it will work better that what i have setup in nodered. I’d really like to simplify some of my automations.

How do you get your ring doorbell in homekit? What can you do with it in there?

As was previously stated homebridge will get that done.
The Home app is a much nicer interface then the ST or Ring app. As far as use, I mostly use it as a pass through to node red which allows for certain automations I can’t do any other way like flash lifx bulbs locally or pause my Apple TV. With iOS/tvOS 14 I’m hoping I’ll get doorbell notices on my appletv w/ a snapshot or live stream.
I mainly use homebridge to be able to hey Siri any Smartthings device
