In this episode of Technical Difficulties, Pete, Brandon, and Vinny hang out with Andrew O’Hara from Apple Insider and the HomeKit Insider podcast to talk Apple, HomeKit, Matter, smart home chaos… and somehow end up deep into chickens, raccoons, pizza stones, and ice makers. Andrew shares how he went from hacking iPods and burning DIY pizza DVDs in high school to running Apple Insider’s YouTube channel, co-hosting HomeKit Insider, and reviewing smart home gear for a living. We dig into the state of HomeKit in 2025, what’s actually good about Matter, why Apple TV is secretly one of Apple’s best products, and how AI might finally make smart homes actually smart instead of just “controllable from your phone.” We also cover real-world stuff nobody talks about: Is HomeKit a good primary smart home platform right now? Has Matter lived up to the hype—or just made things confusing? Why Apple TV crushes cheap streaming sticks (and why most people don’t get it) Andrew’s favorite smart lock and why Home Key is a game changer The reality of smart home reliability, spouses, voice assistants… and constant “device offline” errors The full saga of Andrew’s smart chicken coop, raccoon raids, mouse infestations, and how cameras actually helped What AI + smart home might look like in the next 3–5 years If you’re into Apple, HomeKit, Matter, smart locks, Apple TV, or just love hearing how real smart homes succeed and fail, this one’s for you.
