Apple includes privacy indicators in the upper-right corner of your Mac’s display to indicate when critical hardware is in use. An orange indicator means your microphone is in use, while a green indicator suggests the camera is in use. These indicators help users stay diligent about apps that may be using the camera or microphone legitimately or, in the worst case, unscrupulously.
While I appreciate having these indicators, they can become a distraction when taking screenshots or recording my Mac’s external display. Thankfully, Apple provides a solution to address the issue without compromising privacy.

HomeKit Weekly: The Onvis CS2 turns a simple door sensor into multiple use cases for Apple Home
When automating your smart home, much of the attention centers on cameras and lights, but I believe HomeKit door sensors are arguably among the most critical devices to add to your setup. I’ve written about Onvis before, but the Smart Security Alarm Contact Sensor (CS2) takes the concept of a simple door sensor and turns it into a lot more.
