Much of this episode surrounded the launch of the new Sonos Ray soundbar. This new TV companion has a much lower entry price than the company's other soundbars and works with Apple HomeKit. Coupled with the soundbar is the Sonos voice assistant that can be used to control your various Sonos speakers.

This week also saw the announcement of the new Aqara D100 smart lock. While the lock isn't available yet, it does boast support for Apple Home Key.





Finally, Shane Whatley joins the discussion on three-way light switches including a follow-up from Leviton on how its Decora line should operate.

    Kudos to Stephen for the mea culpa/correction of last week's criticism of the Leviton 3-way switches without having followed the directions in setting them up.

    This might have been mentioned in another episode, but you can use a Lutron Caseta switch (non-dimmer) with neutral wire in a 3-way configuration with a normal dumb switch without having to use a Pico Remote. I have this setup on two different light fixtures in my house.
