Hello All,
For the first 48 hours or so after activating my new 14, I thought the
device might be defective as almost 90% of my Siri requests were not being
understood by the phone.
For example, when making requests such as, "Call Richard" or "Call Sieghard,
mobile", Siri would respond with
Hello James.
Thank you so much for the link. Yes, having tactile buttons is so very
important to me. I shutter at the thought of having to completely depend upon
an external device in order to adjust basic functions of the thermostat.
I will definitely give this a look.
Thank you again.
And as a last comment, having a connected receiver which has some capabilities
like Sonos and hooking up a Sonos Port to it is a bit like having a smart TV
and an Apple TV.
Especially if the receiver's app is accessible you may think you don't really
need a Port, but theoretically if you have
You could always get a Sonos Port and hook it up to your Denon receiver since
this would then also allow you to bring the speakers connected to your receiver
into the Sonos system, group them and so on.
Sonos also has it's own voice assistant and it can live alongside Alexa on any
voice enabled
Good question. Mostly because it's not supported by my Denon receiver, which
does support Airplay though. It does check all of the other boxes, and I have a
three month free subscription, so I definitely need to check it out.

It's not good to leave the charger connected all the time. This is why
Apple added that feature in battery settings called optimized charging.

Also, the chargers used today are

Hello Max,
Wow! I am so surprised at your reply from Apple.
There was a time when Apple maintained a list of stolen phones which would
prevent the phone from being activated.
In fact, a friend of mine purchased a phone off of Craigslist and when we tried
to activate it, it failed to do so.
I use YouTube Premium because the YouTube Music works so well with Sonos and also with my Mac, iPhone, and Windows platforms.MervOn Dec 27, 2022, at 6:30 PM, Christopher Chaltain wrote:

You definitely want to talk to an installer if you have a Heat pump since not

As for the C wire that is strictly a third wire which delivers power to the

Hi.
I'm supposed to get one of these thermostats for Christmas, but the one I'm
interested in requires a C wire to work. I don't know if that's common on heat
pumps, or even what it's for. I'd appreciate information on this. My heat pump
