Using a Tablet as a Smart Display, Cliq VS Bilresa Remote, & How To Speed Up Your Smart Home

Andrew O’Hara covers three smart home topics: new Apple TV features in tvOS 27.2, whether a tablet can replace a dedicated smart home display, and practical ways to speed up sluggish or unresponsive devices. He also compares the AirVersa Click with IKEA’s Bilresa remote, weighing their Apple Home compatibility, Matter support, features, charging and price.

Plus, hear the latest on Nuki’s smart lock products and anti-theft keypad feature, and get troubleshooting tips for improving Wi-Fi and Thread coverage, choosing the right home hub, positioning motion sensors and using native automations.
