What HomeView does
HomeView is a 7-inch Liquid Retina screen on a stainless steel hinge above a domed speaker base, with Apple’s A18 chip. It recognizes up to six people by their faces, so each person gets their own Home Screen, messages, calendar and reminders.
It runs Siri AI in beta, controls lights, locks, thermostats and blinds, shows up to nine live camera feeds, makes FaceTime calls and walks you through recipes. You need an iPhone or iPad to set it up.
