Episode 32: CES and HomeKit Roundtable with Special Guests Zac Hall, Adam Justice and Richard Gunther
CES has come and gone, with new HomeKit, Smart Home, and connected goodies.
For our thirty-second regular show, we are hosting a very special roundtable focusing on the state of HomeKit in a post-CES world. We are joined by very special guests Zac Hall of 9to5mac, Adam Justice, CEO of Connectsense, and co-host of The Smart Home Show, and Richard Gunther, the other host of the Smart Home Show! This group of amazing folks share their thoughts on the state of the HomeKit union and ecosystem as we head in to 2020. What do we like? Where is there room for improvement? Is Apple committed to growing HomeKit as a platform? Is the recently announced interconnected home automation standard a game changer or just another "standard?" We had a blast with this and we hope you enjoy this as much as we did!
