Here are the hidden tips and tricks to maximize everything connected via Apple Home. Enable Critical Alerts to break through your Do Not Disturb modes Apple's critical alerts feature allows a limited number of emergency notifications to break through Silent and Do Not Disturb modes so you know immediately if there's a safety or security risk threatening life or property.
