Control your home from your trusty Mac or MacBook
I’m hoping that Thread will eventually change that but my guess it will be at least a couple years before we see many products. Change comes slowly to the HomeKit world. Right off the bat, I found that most of the connected devices in my smart home don’t natively work with HomeKit. I expected this, of course, but it was still jarring. Follow these prompts and your HomePod will automatically connect to the same network from your mobile device.
Tap Set Up and follow the prompts. On the Almost Done screen, add payment information to authorize online purchases using verbal commands. The Add Music Services screen allows you to link to a music service with which you have an account, such as Spotify or Pandora. Teach Google Assistant to recognize your voice.

I moved all my zig bee products from my Samsung Smart Things hub to a little snowman of zig bee hubs from Ikea, Phillips and Sengled. I found that Home kit did not seem to offer me any benefit other than a prettier interface. Now that Smart thing’s new app is out it looks like a much prettier version of Home kit.

How to Set Up Your Google Home
Check whether your PC runs Windows 32-bit or 64-bit and then download the BlueStacks version for your computer. Select Cancel if you see a BlueStacks interrupted restart message. Go back to the General tab in the Security & Privacy and select Restart. Once your Mac restarts, BlueStacks will be ready to use.
Once that’s done, hit “Continue” down at the bottom. When the app connects to your Google Home, the device will play a test sound to confirm that it’s connected. Tap on “Play Test Sound” to begin that process.
Matter will let some of your devices play together natively, but not all of them. Also, older devices may not get Matter support. Google has said that its third-gen thermostat will get it but has said nothing about the smoke detectors and the door locks. It takes a little DIY but you can do it!
Launch Chrome and select the menu at the upper right corner. If you don’t see this message, restart your Mac manually. You can emulate Android OS on your Mac and PC for free using BlueStacks.
No matter where you are, see what’s going on at home and manage your devices. Just open the Google Home app.2 Your home can help, automatically. Create helpful routines with Google Home and kick back a little. Automations organize everyday tasks, from opening the blinds and turning off porch lights to starting coffee and locking your doors. Yes, you can use Chromecast from a Mac.
As of now it automatically starts the live cam. The option to delete a video is too deep in the settings. A long press or a swipe to delete specific clips would be nice.
