I am looking for an accessible device for measuring the humidity in my house. If anyone has a recommendation for such a device that can measure indoor humidity relatively accurately whose readings I can check on my iPhone that would be great. I like to keep the humidity in my house between 30 and 40 percent to keep my piano happy in this dry state of Colorado.
thanks for any recommendations.

Hi. I want to get a thermostat I can control with my iOS device. I want to be able to switch between heat, AC, fan, or just shut the whole system off. I also need to be able to adjust the temperature. Being able to program different temperatures for different times of the day would be nice, but not a requirement. I am wondering which thermostats have accessible apps. I do not want to go buy a thermostat just because the box says it can be controlled by iOS devices only to get it home and have it installed just to find out that the app for it is not accessible.
Hi everyone.
I'm looking for an accessible temperature controlled kettle for making tea. Ideally: it needs to go from 60 - 100 degrees, have either physical easy to use controls or have a fully accessible app, and I'd also like it to be plastic or glass, metal gets far to hot for my liking.
I'm looking for a an intercom-doorbell system tworks with the iPhone and is accessible. I can't always hear who is on the other sid
of the door. I am totally blind and partially deaf. I use VoiceOver and a Focus 14 blue 5th genery braille dispay . I am running the latest version of IOS. Where can I find one of these systems and how much? How do I us
one?
Hi all.
Need to upgrade my TV set for the sake of an Atmos soundbar. Which of the platforms would you say is most accessible? I do use an Apple TV, but it might be nice to have some other things to play with on the TV itself... As far as I can tell there are the main ones:
Google TV - Sony uses this
Android TV (not sure how this differs)
Fire TV Samsung
LG
A note, I'm talking about full TVs which use these platforms and not streaming sticks or pucks such as the Amazon Fire Stick or the stand alone Google TV puck.
Good afternoon. I am planning to buy a new microwave oven soon. Since most microwave ovens have touch panels, I was wondering if there are any microwave ovens on the market that can be controlled by an IPhone? Thanks in advance for your input, and have a good day.

Back last year, some of y’all know that I purchased the Hover Air X1. Since then, the Hover Air has come out with newer models, which seem to be accessible. I remember watching a video where it said that the Hover Air X1 was the most accessible drone. Well, DGI is now coming out with their own versions. We have the DGI Neo and the DGI Flip. With these drones, you can actually control them with your voice. You can tell it to follow you, you can tell it to move further away, you can tell it to go up, you can tell it to come down a little, you can tell it to break, land, etc.
I need suggestions on which "smart thermostats" to consider. Any recommendations?
Good morning!
I have a personal pet peeve about people sneaking into my room/dorm/etc. without me knowing. Does anyone know of a good solution that's loud, customizable, and works with HomeKit? I'm new to smart home tech and don't know much terminology. Any ideas would be appreciated.
I'm sure many on here have already seen this, but Amazon announced a new subscription service for the lady A whose name cannot be mentioned for fear of a hundred ears pricking up across the land.
This will bring AI functions to the echo devices and the ability to perform more complex voice commands, like being allowed to fumble your words or chain commands together.
The cost is about $20 a month, but if you have a Prime subscription then you get it included, which is odd given that Prime costs less than this.
Hello all
My wife and I recently purchased a home and are able to get a $100 rebate deal on a wifi/smart thermostat from Nest, Ecobee or honeywell. We would like to purchase as soon as possible as current thermostat is 14 years old.
In looking at the many models, am still quite confused on what to purchase.
Hi.
So we, just were given this as a gift. A Samsung smart tv.
I don't have any problem with the fundamentals of a tv ui, or the screen reader, or the navigation. I'd honestly give Samsung a 10 out of 10, it's good! Cause the first setup was done in family I don't know if the onboarding is 100% accessible, but in any case my sister registered my Samsung account on my iphone in Smart Things. Everything is fine, voice guide enabled.
I’m considering a smart ring, but wanted to see if VoiceOver users have tried either of these?
Oura Ring: the most accurate sleep and activity tracker:

If you have a smart ring, it’d be great to learn about your experience as a person who is blind.
Thanks!
Hi everyone, I just bought a new oven for baking bread etc. I was wondering if there are any accessible (meat) thermometers available with a voiceover accesjsible app?

product description
Not sure if this is the best forum for this, but I picked up a pretty cool piece of gear and wanted to let folks know about it as many may be interested, and offer a bit of a review. It isn't a smart home device, but it could be classified under gadgets, so there ya go. I have, for several years now, been using an Allen & Heath XB-14-2 broadcast console for my online radio station.
I'm not sure if this is something with an app update or something with my device itself but my qardio arm will not pump up. This just happened with the past couple of app updates. The motor turns on but does not fill the cuff all the way up with air. I've been placing the device like I always have as instructed. Sometimes I can play with the cuff to get it to work. Tonight I was needing to take my bp and it would only pump up if I put it on my rist. I've replaced the batteries to see if that would work but no luck.
Hi, i'm wondering can people give me recommendations please for accessible smart plugs, in other words you plug one into an outlet and plug another device into it, then you can use an app to schedule timers for example for things to switch on and off.
A question for those using the euphy doorbell.
How do you check the batery status of the euphy doorbell within the euphy security app with voiceover?
