Our first look at Shortcuts on iOS »
When Shortcuts was announced at WWDC, I became incredibly excited. Apple bought Workflow back in March 2017 and I was a little concerned about the future of the app. Workflow was created by a small team to enable automation on iOS — and Shortcuts has taken all of that, and added more. Much more.
For any developers who have applied to test the Shortcuts beta, it’s still in its earliest days. It’s important to keep in mind the reality of an early beta. In short, things will change!

How to configure a Nest thermostat to operate on a schedule »
My favorite feature of the Nest thermostat combined with the external temperature sensor is how you can schedule the thermostat based on the external sensor. During the day, I’m not as concerned with the disparity between the main unit and my boys’ bedroom. It’s only at night that I want the bedroom to be the priority, and since their bedroom is at the end of the HVAC run, it experiences the most extreme temperature disparities. During extreme weather, there can be as much as a 2-3 degree difference between the main unit and the external sensor. I was worried before I bought it that it would be an either/or situation, but Nest has this figured out.
