    I think they look cheap when unlit due to the materials used and cheap at low to medium brightness because of the inadequate led placement/lens/diffuser combo. But they’re expensive.

Thank you for your review, I am SOLD! I do have Question concerning HomeKit Thermostats: Do they support both the (gas) furnace and a Heat Pump?

    @AndrewJonesMcGuire 4 месяца назад

    Wouldn't be surprised if the lack of Thread and Matter - is because of the issues they are having with the Essentials range. Once they have ironed out the issues with those, then they are more likely to look to enable Thread and Matter on other supported product lines.

      @@DavidM979 3.6.170 has been a game changer. I'm just about to update to 3.6.173, so fingers crossed the stability will continue. They have been getting much better throughout the beta firmware program, and we have progressed through Matter v1 which is the production firmware to Matter v1.1 and now we are on Matter v1.2 Trust me when I say they definitely want to get this resolved.

  • @shadow_glaive9220
    @shadow_glaive9220 4 месяца назад

    I feel like when you were showing off colour mode in the performance segment you shouldn't have had your TV's red/pink backlight and wall panel lights on too, as they're overpowering the T1M's RGB light strip, so we can't see the actual brightness of the RGB strip on its own. Obviously I don't expect the RGB to be as bright as proper RGB bulb when lighting up a full room, but when you're showing off it's performance you shouldn't have had other lights on taking away from its demonstration.
