  • The Apple Watch Ultra is a very expensive smart watch, coming in at around $1000. At first I though, how is this going to be better than the $500 Series 8? I was doubtful; BUT, here are 20 reasons why I won’t switch back to the Series 8.

      Alarm, daily. As you said it doesn't disturb others and is so gentle. Airtag notifications (I tend to forget my iPad or keys in meeting rooms). Phone calls when out and about. I don't even take my phone out of my pocket anymore (in quiet places - because, customers..)

    How did you get the "home assistant" functions on the Apple Watch? Does it pair with different brands to control garage doors, lights, etc?

    • @PeteMatheson
      @PeteMatheson  ปีที่แล้ว

      This is just using the native home assistant app, you can then add certain buttons / controls via Home Assistant.
      Home Assistant itself then integrates with all of the devices, so rather than having to open 12 different apps, I can do it all from one place.

    • @hoodurkel
      @hoodurkel ปีที่แล้ว

      You have to setup the sleep focus. Once the sleep focus is Setup, have the watch mirror the iPhone so when the iPhone goes into sleep focus then the watch does also. Do note if you have a Apple Watch series 8+ you won’t be able to track your wrist temperature unless the watch is in sleep focus.

      I bought a cheap meross (homekit compatible) garage door opener from Amazon and wired it into my garage door opener.
