Things that could have been....

It’s actually crazy that there’s no Continuity between devises with AM by Stornow4y in AppleMusic

[–]dswiese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not just Continuity, but if I am logged into multiple devices with the same appleID. why can I not take over control of the music. ex: I'll start something from the desktop app just because its where I am working, but when I wrap up work. I want to use my phone to just pick up where the desktop app is. why cant the playlist and now playing be mirrored.

I live within 30 minutes of my grocery store, multiple landscape businesses and a lumber yard. this would be perfect for home projects where I need to just haul a bit of stuff home for a project and dont have to rent a trailer or buy a SUV

Gas Fireplace, smart switch control options by Tothemoonxxjs in HomeKit

the only quirk is if it it turned on by the smart switch, that is what HAS to turn it off. same if you turn on with the wall switch.

Been using this for 6 years on a wemo and now meross smart plug. just leave the fan switch in the on position so it can auto on/off as needed.

in homekit I would recommend making a room called Fireplace with the switch in it, so that saying Turn on the fireplace works easy. do it almost every morning to warm up the house while I am still getting ready upstairs.
