SwitchBot prize giveaway, plus hands on with the HomePod mini, on HomeKit Insider

HomeKit Insider: A new AppleInsider podcast

You could win SwitchBot gear in this latest episode of HomeKit Insider, where we also go hands on with the HomePod mini, and the new Yale cabinet lock.

SwitchBot Giveaway

This week two HomeKit Insider listeners will win a whole set of SwitchBot home automation gear. It's because we go in deep on the new SwitchBot Curtains, which turn your regular curtains into ones you can control over iOS Shortcuts.

We like this so much that we've arranged with SwitchBot to get two listeners a pair of SwitchBot Curtains — and much more. Alongside the Curtains, both winners will get SwitchBot devices including SwitchBot Hub Mini, two SwitchBot Bots, and a SwitchBot remote.

You must be in the US, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Romania, Korea, or Japan, to be eligible. If you're in one of these countries, share the following tweet to enter — and make sure you do so before November 30.

Or copy and paste this in a tweet by November 30:

HomePod mini and Yale Cabinet Lock

It's not only the SwitchBot Curtains we've been enjoying this week, there is of course also the new HomePod mini. We've been testing them out for review, and we've just been enjoying them, so here's how Apple's new speaker fares in the real world.

Plus Andrew took time away from listening to music, to reviewing the new Yale cabinet lock. The device is unique in the HomeKit space, but it does have minor issues buyers need to be aware of.

Stay tuned for more!
