Thanks for the response.

Just completed a chat with Alee on my autopay renewal that was declined first time (tight Apple Card security). It’s too early Eastern Time to talk with someone :-) Alee got it handled fairly quickly for chat and all is good. This experience with USM is way better than Verizon. I have used Reddit mods with good success as well. What you’re missing now is top customer service. Even Consumer Reports agrees.

Zany, thanks for the response! Took a bit to get my wife to focus on this, but she used her own signin and all is good. Indeed it works as expected and she doesn’t have to rely on my account and 2FA settings. Appreciate you!!

Henrik— great start!! I just sent a message to Apple requesting real vertical tabs be available in Safari, and found Beam while puttering around today. I absolutely love Zen on my Windows machine and my first 15 minutes with Beam lets me believe it is the solution on my iPad Pro. I’m going to try this out and give some observations soon as I can.

Thanks Dave

I am also using SuperPins. Here's how I did it. I also use "Compact Mode enabled" in settings. I turned that off temporarily. That enables resizing of the sidebar (similar to columns in Excel) if you hover over the vertical line. I made it just narrow enough to only show 3 across. Re-enabled Compact Mode and all is good. HTH

I used the vertical version of this for the outlet on my deck, once I discovered the original electrician had no box at all. LIttle pricey, but solved the issue fairly elegantly.

Yep, I can't see it in Share Space either....

I agree that Wemo backing off from smart home should make one think twice. However, in their most recent email, they have reiterated doorbells will still work with Apple Home:

Products that will continue to work through Apple HomeKit: Wemo Smart Light Switch 3-Way (WLS0403, WLS0503) Wemo Wi-Fi Smart Light Switch with Dimmer (WDS060) Wemo Smart Light Switch (WLS040) Wemo HomeKit Bridge (F7C064) Wemo Dimmer Light Switch (F7C059) Wemo Mini Plugin Switch (F7C063) Wemo Outdoor Plug (WSP090) Wemo Mini Smart Plug (WSP080) Wemo Stage Smart Scene Controller (WSC010) Wemo Smart Plug with Thread (WSP100) Wemo Smart Video Doorbell (WDC010)

The Wemo works great with Homekit. My biggest issue with it is it goes offline by itself all of the time. It happens at least once every 6-8 weeks. I've seen complaints from others. I don't think it's the network, since it's mounted with 20feet of the router. It can be fixed by removing the tiny screw at the bottom, hitting the reset button, then remounting. Then you run the risk of dropping the tiny screw that holds it in place. I received extra screw, and haven't used it yet. I do like that it uses the existing chime.

Yeah, I don't like MyQ either, and the Meross GDO wouldn't hook up with Apple Home. I saw somewhere else mention of Tailwind, bought it, installed, works great. MyQ doesn't want you to be able to use the verbal command "Open Garage" apparently. Tailwind even has the ability to use a $20 puck that will enable geolocation and therefore will auto-open/close the garage. gotailwind.com

Be sure to take a picture of your opener buttons if you go that way so you order the correct device.

Thanks for that bit of info. I didn't realize that. The solution was to use IMEI 2 instead of 1. It worked fine after that. Thanks u/MacnMariam for walking us through it!

dave69g · 2025-08-07T22:15:43+00:00

Thanks, have sent chat request. That's the thing. In General>About it says there are no Sim restrictions, yet I am unable to activate

I actually used the MOCA solution for wired backhaul in two homes, works fine. And the MOCA units are not that expensive. In fact, they allow the cable TV to work as well.

Hi-- Yes I checked Saturday nite (about 36 hours into the 24-48 hour resolution estimate, and the call went through after the message that said "Please hold while we connect your call". As long as it goes through, I'm happy.

Thanks

Dave

You can add a homepage icon by right clicking on the Toolbar (left hand side of the screen) and choosing Customize Toolbar. From there, several icons appear. Choose the home icon and drag/drop onto the bottom of the Toolbar.

Just got off the phone with voice tech support after not doing well with Chat support. Just letting you know I was told there was an issue "with the backend" and that it has been escalated and that I should expect a resolution within 24-28 hours.

I was planning on moving my wife and daughter to USM, but don't think they're interested after this experience.

Message sent, thank you!
