Nest Smart Learning Thermostat, Sonos game problems, &, Wi-Fi problems on HomeKit Insider
HomeKit Insider Podcast
In this episode of HomeKit Insider, we review the fourth-generation Nest Learning Thermostat and answer a few questions from our listeners. In the news this week, the Sonos CEO stated that while they were hopeful of re-releasing their old app they had already implemented too many changes. It would create more problems than solve. This is the latest chapter of their ongoing saga in which the main Sonos app has struggled. It has had a lot of problems, and Sonos is slowly fixing them. Michael also asked a question to us this week. He wanted to know what he could do to help devices communicate between the 5GHz and 2.4GHz networks. We will go over a few options for troubleshooting. This is a common smart home problem as most smart devices support only the 2.4GHz frequency. The majority of the episode is dedicated to the new Nest Learning Thermostat Gen 4 We begin by tackling the difficult insulation process. After the installation, we discuss the design, functionality, as well as how we can add the Matter app to the Home App. AppleInsider Podcast is a weekly podcast that keeps you up to date with all things Apple.
