  • ¿Por qué no los dos? Make Home Assistant your master automation system because it supports a huge amount of devices. And then expose those to HomeKit using the HomeKit Bridge service.

    This makes all compatible devices (i.e. everything HomeKit can interpret) show up in Apple Home, too.

    That’s how I do it, so I can ask my HomePods to turn lights on and off or lower the blinds.










  • John List, a professor at the University of Chicago, recruited 6,000 participants for a study. With permission, he installed tracking software on their phones. And then he made them an offer: for every hour that the participant did not use Facebook or Instagram, he would pay them $4. (Participants only had to give up one app; the Facebook holdout group was allowed to use Instagram and vice versa.)

    Initial results:

    Facebook → YouTube, Instagram, TikTok
    Instagram → YouTube, Facebook, TikTok

    Corrected for time spent on platforms:

    Facebook → Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat
    Instagram → TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, Snapchat
