We are an Apple family. I'm looking into the Apple home products.
Is anyone here using them? If so, which ones?
I wondered about the thermostat and possibly the door locks.

Apple doesn’t make thermostats or door locks. We do use apps on the iPhone to control our lightning through hardware from Cox. I am sure other brands will work with the iPhone through their own apps. I know lot of people with iPhones that use the Ring app with no problems.

It seems like a pretty large assortment. |

I have a Level home lock and love it!!! I can ask Siri on my Apple watch to unlock the door. I can also control it in the Home app on my iphone.
What I love about this one is it didn't change the key on the deadbolt, so I or anyone else can use the same key we already had if needed.

We use August instead of Ring, etc. their are August door locks that work with the app on the phone and Alexa will also work with it. My husband isn’t quite on the bandwagon as the rest of us, but we give him the codes to everything and he inputs in his Apple stuff in his office. I also use it all on my iPhone. Nest works with Apple. There are garage door openers that will also work.

We are an Apple family as well. So far we use the Ring doorbell and outdoor camera, Nest learning thermostat, Liftmaster garage door openers, and the Nest Cam (indoor). Not problems using the apps for any of them on the Apple products. The learning thermostat is probably my favorite. It has really cut down on the "thermostat wars", plus it's super easy to pick up my phone and change the temp from anywhere in the house.
