I'm holding off buying a HomePod as I have a feeling the HomePod 2 will be announced and will come out very soon and I think it will be able to do so much more.

Can you automate the Apple TV so that it turns on or off? Or can you make it open an app or play something as well?

[Babauzaure]

Nice work!

one question : how to control the volume of television now?

[myHomeKithome]

13.0, 13.1, and 13.2 were pretty significant for HomeKit. Hoepfully, it keeps getting better as we go on!

Does multi user support on the hubs (Apple TV, HomePod, etc) mean that each person also gets their own favourites list on their device? One of my biggest issues with HomeKit right now is that when I add my family members to the home, we all have to get the same favourites. It basically turns the favourites into a list of every device in the home since each family member isn’t allowed to create their own subset of favourite devices.

How do you set up remote access in iOS 13?

[CristienPerez]

I have two homepods that are both at iOS 12.4
I’m trying to update them but in the HomeKit I click check for updates and it said it’s up to date :(

[greghilt]

Is it going to be able to simply auto detect items already using WiFi or Bluetooth and ask if you want to add them to HomeKit?

[ConnorGriffinMusic]

Seconding a question below: does the Logitech circle support the new iCloud camera storage or will it require a firmware update / new camera??

[MrKlaoww]

I wanna know Siri Shortcuts automation can do ?

[xchillkillx]

And what if you just have the standard 5gb plan? Will you be able to use cameras at all?

[adamfleming]

Thank you for sharing the all new IOS13 software.
Interesting to see all the new features before final release. Apple could have done so much more though.
They will definitely have to allow users more cameras and camera recordings for even more days as 10 days isn't that long.
Keep finding that Philips Hue devices keep disconnecting from HomeKit which can become very annoying and devices don't always work when they are most needed.
Would like to know if there is anything I would be able to do in order to prevent this from happening all the time?
Wish the connect for all wireless devices would get improved by Apple and other company's like Philips Hue.

Currently you can’t have two HomePods with different accounts in the same house, does anyone know if it will be possible with the new update?

[bryanwilson]

Is your nest home-bridge working okay with ios13?

[TomaszBzymek]

Can you create an automation based on more than one condition? Eg. When the motion is detected and the switch is off turn on the lights.

Also - things like - turning off the lights if there's no motion for more than X minutes?

[cactustweeter]

Andrew, you need to do a review of outdoor cameras that will work with iCloud. I have 3 Nest cameras and I would love to replace them with iCloud cameras.

[carldevans]

Nice video. Just subscribed. I’m excited for these be HomeKit features...especially the secure camera. The cost of the HomeKit cameras PLUS the need to pay them monthly for cloud storage has kept me from purchasing. I’m glad I waited.

This looks like it was a painful video to film with how much the Home app appeared to be lagging

[icybomber]

my ios 13 home doesnt look like that is mine delayed or soemthing

[myHomeKithome]

Home in iOS 13 just looks gorgeous... or maybe it's the awesome camera work. Either way, I'm excited to get my hands on it and excited to see what other tidbits we'll see with HomeKit as the betas progress.
