Hi all,

I'm looking for a wifi doorbell so that when somebody comes to the door I can talk to them through the door before letting them in. I don't have a doorbell of any kind right now though and I don't know anybody who can wire one for me so whatever I get needs to be battery-operated, and I need to be able to use either my iPhone or alexa to communicate with the visitor.

This has been posted before, but a number of years ago. What are the best accessible smart scales currently? Thanks!

Hello appleVis,
I was curious to know if anyone has had any luck with any of the bluetooth dart boards?
Are there any that are VoiceOver friendly?
Thanks.

A couple of years ago, I got a Vitadoc+ bluetooth scale. The problem is that the IOS app isn't accessible with VoiceOver at all. Almost nothing is properly labeled, and some interface elements are impossible to focus on.

So does anyone have recommendations for wifi/bluetooth scales with accessible IOS apps?

hello all, for several months i've wanted an air fryer, and looked on several sites and finally i found one. its not the amazon oven air fryer microwave combo, but this air fryer is much cheaper, but it is a good one. it is called the cosori smart air fryer, and it's touch screen. before everyone starts freaking out and saying why did you buy this model if it is touch screen let me explain. you see, not only does this air fryer have all touch screen, but it also has a smart phone app called vesync which allows you to control this air fryer.

Would appreciate any recent comments on accessibility of the Nest (low end, not the Learning Thermostat) and Honeywell thermostats for totally blind users. Specifically,
1) How is the accessibility on their iOS apps?
2) Can you control these apps with Siri? with Alexa?
3) Do the apps allow you to control the AC/Heat fan?

Thanks.

I have the DirecTV app, but in order to subscribe, I'm wondering if anyone has resources concerning their box and its accessibility. I was told a podcast was on Applevis, but I'm not finding it. Thank you.

Hello All, I was wondering if anyone knows if the Elgato Eve app is accessible for their products you can connect. In short, can I control my connected devices through the app without sighted assistance?

Hoover have a range of wi-fi connected appliances collectively called Wizard which can all be fully controlled by one app. These include a fridge-freezer, washing machine, cooker, and dish-washer. I wonder has anyone come across any of these? In particular the app as of course I'm keen to know whether it works with Voice Over?

Hello everyone.
I have been looking into accessible bluetooth scales, as the talking kitchen scales in later years seems not to be as durable as in times past. But it seems the most options e.g. the smart chef scale is only available in the U.S. market.
Anyone aware of an accessible Bluetooth scale that has an accessible app that is being sold in Europe?
The scale has to have a precision of 1 Gram, and should weigh up to 3 or even better 5 KGs.
Thanks for any inputs in advance.

Using 13 pro and iPad 9 with iOS 17.1.1. I live in a condominium and I would like to get a door bell for my place. It has to be put on the door and not wall. Management does not want the wall affected. Any suggestion. Hoping on black Friday within Amazon, I find a nice deal. Accessible and easy to use. Thanks.

Hi all, I have read 2 threads about video doorbells. I'm totally blind and am not sure that I need all the video features. Does anyone use an intercom system? Is one of the units durable enough to be outside? Thanks.
