On this week’s HomeKit<\/a> Insider Podcast, your hosts discuss the new Hive mini thermostat, Meross’ debut of a new smoke detector, and Netatmo’s wired power adapter for its smart thermostat. <\/p>\n

\n

The past few weeks have seen a drought of HomeKit news, but we’re back with a few new product launches this week. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

European smart home company Hive has debuted a new mini thermostat that will work with Apple HomeKit. It isn’t likely to make it to the U.S., though so don’t hold your breath waiting for it for it stateside. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Meross has introduced a new HomeKit-enabled smoke detector, adding a new option to a woefully under-represented category. There are only a few HomeKit smoke detectors available, so this will be welcomed by users looking for more options. These will require a hub though, which is necessary to save battery life and provide reliable connectivity. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Finally, Netatmo has released a wired power adapter for its smart video doorbell. This will allow users to plug the doorbell into the wall if existing wiring isn’t available. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
