Brett’s Gadget/App: I always thought the Ember Mug2 was something that was too much of a splurge but my wonderful daughter got it for me as a Christmas present - I guess she was tired of hearing Dad complain about cold coffee. Battery life isn’t terrific, but I’ll take that over all the fantastic-ness of having hot coffee as LONG AS I WANT!! Plus I can always use the charging coaster. The App lets me regulate the temperature and it even connects with the Apple Health app to track caffeine intake!

Jeff’s iTip: Accessing your HomeKit devices when you are away from home and take an Apple TV with you. In order to designate a HomeKit hub, go to Home (app) -> tap icon at top right (circle with three dots) -> tap Home Settings -> Scroll down to and tap Home Hubs & Bridges -> ensure that at least one hub device is identified as Connected.  The rest will say “Standby.” If nothing is identified as Connected, restart the Apple TV or other device. A HomeKit hub can be an Apple TV, HomePod, HomePod mini, or even an iPad that you leave home and plugged in.
