SmartMi Air Purifier 2 & Eve Motion reviews, plus more on HomeKit Insider

The news starts with the launch of the Sensibo AirQ controller. This new model can control any IR remote-supported AC unit while also measuring the air quality of your home — similar to the recent Ecobee Premium that acts as a smart thermostat.

We also saw AirVersa launch in Europe which is the first Thread-enabled air purifier. No word on when it will be making its way to the U.S. With the all the air-focused news, we also gave our full review of the new SmartMi 2 air purifier.

The recent beta of iOS 16 saw a minor change for HomeKit users with three new wallpapers added to the Home app. And as a follow-up from last week's episode, we discussed a new report that Google will also share home security recordings without a warrant to law enforcement. Apple, Arlo, Eufy, and others still require a warrant if they have access at all.

Finally, we review the Eve Motion 2 and revisit the Eve Button.
