> I think the biggest problem with HomeKit is that for most people the primary UI for their smart home is a connected speaker Is it though ? Using voice commands feels more like a gimmick to me. The only time I ever use it is when I demo it a visitor ("look, I can control my house using my voice") but in reality I never use it. If I want to control something manually I just use a wall-mounted button or my phone/iPad. But mostly I don't control things at all, the whole point of all this 'smart' stuff is to automate things. If I have to manually operate something, I consider that a bug and try to fix it.
