Re: HomeKit thermostat?
I am using the Honeywell Thermostat. And it has been working well for me over the last few years. I don’t have any trouble with it. I have been using Siri with it and Alexa. But on occasions they do not work sometimes for no reason at all. And then I go in the Honeywell app to sort things out. But that is very rare. > On 25 Jul 2020, at 6:01 am, Les Kriegler wrote: > > Hi Cameron, > It's in the app. As stated, the Nest has no physical switches.

Help with applewatch.
Hi! I recently turned off mobile data on my Apple Watch just so save some battery. Ok, now when i want to turn that on the apple watch claims that there’s no sim installed. I don’t know how this is presented in english but it claims my applewatch needs to add a new abonnemang for some reason. Any thoughts on why this is. My operator could not help me. /A -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
