It’s coming along

Much better than the Google home app by far. Keep updating this Apple. It’s looking good. Just need to be able to add more devices seamlessly.

Switched over to iPhone. Home kit sucks.

I bought my first Home Kit compatible smart bulbs with Matter and this giant turd Home Kit app is constantly losing connection to them. Which is defeating the whole point of being a smart home setup, able to tell Siri to control things. I’m always having to get my phone, open Tapo, and manually toggle the lights.

Question does this thing actually work for anyone? Like 20% of the time I'll luck out. Otherwise forever updating or no response

Makes it a nightmare to add and keep your accessories working without re-adding them 1k times. It has more bugs than a hood house.
