pbGuy brought up the subject of Control Apps for remote devices in this thread in Networking. It raised the question of whether or not it would be useful to share information on Apple Home Kit and other devices and their attendant apps. Since this is not troubleshooting per. se. I am raising this as a potential topic in The Lounge.

Anyone with experience in the various remote devices and apps, whether on iOS or MacOS is invited to share your experience including...
  1. Apple Home Kit enabled or not?
  2. iOS or MacOS or both?
  3. Ease of setup
  4. General comments Pro and/or Con

If we knew what it was we were doing, it wouldn't be called research, would it?
