The community complaints are surprisingly consistent.</p>
<p dir="auto">Poll options:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p dir="auto">list itemSiri reliability — "When I yell 'HEY SIRI,' I just want a damn response"</p>
</li>
<li>
<p dir="auto">list itemCamera support — Most good security cameras don't support HomeKit Secure Video, forcing users to juggle multiple apps</p>
</li>
<li>
<p dir="auto">list itemHome hub reliability — Hubs failing to consistently serve as home hubs, causing accessories to show "No Response"</p>
</li>
<li>
<p dir="auto">list itemDevice compatibility — Still too many devices that require workarounds to work with Apple Home</p>
</li>
<li>
<p dir="auto">list itemAutomation depth — "We haven't seen any new automations. We haven't seen any new conditions. We haven't seen any real new product categories come to HomeKit in a few years"</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">I'm curious which one is the real dealbreaker for people. For me, it's the hub reliability  I can work around Siri being dumb, but if the hub itself can't stay connected, nothing else matters.</p>
<p dir="auto">What's yours, and why?</p>
