    Episode 331: HomeKit Panel Part 2

    We had a lovely conversation with Bob Gendler, Steve Yuroff, and Tim Pearson about home automation and specifically HomeKit and the Home App in a previous episode, but we didn’t get to everything. So we decided to have a second one! In this episode we’ll get more into onboarding of devices, Siri voice control, security, automation, and troubleshooting.

Essential for the Enterprise

My entire team usually has a conversation soon after a new episode comes out beginning with “did you listen to the MacAdmins podcast yet?”. It has become an invaluable dialogue for Mac IT personnel that listeners are able to benefit from, and a high quality one at that. Thank you all!

Mixed Audio levels are very bad!

I've tried listening to several episodes and I must say the sound levels are all over the place. If they could agree on the same mic type or a balance in audio levels, or speak into their own mic perhaps it would be great. I fine it very hard to understand some if not all of the guest at times. As if they're speaking through a laptop's mic and passing it to person to person.
