On this week's Smart Home Insider podcast, the host explores using a tablet as a smart display, compares the Airversa Cliq and Ikea Bilresa Thread buttons, and shares tips to speed up smart home devices. A light news week revealed that tvOS 27.2 gives Siri AI access to watchlists and Watch Next queues, a feature arriving on the new Apple TV 4K launching November 13.
Australian brand Nuki released an in-door smart module, white NFC keypad, and tamper-detection software. The team tested six dashboard apps — including Wallflower 3, Home Deck, Rehome, and Home Cam — evaluated mounting options, and weighed pros and cons of tablet-based displays.
In the hands-on segment, the Airversa Cliq remote and Ikea Bilresa button are compared; both use Thread but differ significantly in features and price. The episode concludes with practical speed-up advice: test home networks, upgrade aging devices, and optimize the Home Hub.
