Exactly my thoughts after reading the article. I am surprised that so few have pointed this out because it entirely invalidates the article’s conclusion for any serious usage.

I am very excited for this. One question I couldn’t find an answer for though is whether the hardware is open enough to be usable with other home automation systems. I am using OpenHAB and they too have an integrated voice assistant. I looked into migrating to HA a couple times but eventually gave up, primarily because it felt like such a waste of time to migrate a fully working environment with dozens of rules and scripts to yaml files.

> Warning: there’s a bug right now that crashes the app in macOS 15.1. […] I’ve tested this with Xcode 16.0 beta 6 and Xcode 16.1 and they both act the same. But on a computer running macOS 15.0 beta 7 and Xcode 16.0 beta 6, it works perfectly. So this is a bug in macOS 15.1.

One of the reasons I've left development for the Apple ecosystem is that these things happen all the time. They are tedious to fix and often require reverse engineering their system.
