Something I just discovered that I'm hoping others can verify. My HomeKit setup includes multiple rooms with multiple lighting devices in each: With an iPhone/iPad/Apple Watch when you say "Hey Siri, turn on the lights" HomeKit turns on all lights With a HomePod when you say "Hey Siri, turn on...

My brother and his wife both use iPhones and Macs, but they’re about to have twins and need to upgrade their old machines. The goals are: Have a shared contacts list. When one ads a new contact, the other gets it. Shared system for notes A single destination for all their photos, to collect...

So I have a HomeKit setup running. At home there is one ATV4, used as my home hub. Everything was fine and working. Had to get my iPhone replaced so did a backup and restore. All good. However, now it seems HomeKit won't sync properly. On my iPhone, it says my ATV4 is in standby. When you...

I felt something was missing from the moment I started using Apple Homekit. Today, it hit me - No Apple Home app on MacOS. I spent some time searching the Mac App Store and google , but I only found a thread on Apple developers forum discussing this missing app. I think that I noticed because...

Hi, My wife and I are moving to our new home in Winnipeg within weeks. The staging and cleaning of our home will finish within a few weeks and we will be moving in, a week after that. But before moving in I was hoping to install a security alarm monitoring service. As I am a Businessman, I am...

When I try to invite my wife to the HomeKit app Home in iOS 11.1.2 I get the following error message: “Invitation failed Could not invite blah blah because the Apple ID is not registered with iCloud”. Obviously her Apple ID is fine. I’ve searched the web high and low and can’t find a...

Hi, Am I the only person to think that changing the home bar location based on orientation of the phone is a bad idea? I believe that changing the position of the Home Bar based on the orientation of the phone should be optional, as by always changing the location from where I can close any...

So within the last week or two, Sonos had two major announcements: 1: Sonos One 2: AirPlay 2 Support (Future update) In our household, we have quite the Sonos and HomeKit setups, which I listed at the bottom of this post. If anyone has any questions about any of the products, feel free to ask...

Hello, I am looking to add a motion sensor in our walk in closet and in one of our bathrooms. I currently have a Caseta setup, however after reading through their forums, there isn't a motion sensor that works with Caseta switches while it is connected that switch is connected to the hub. I...

So I bought this thing because it has a light sensor and motion sensor and temperature all in one, but only motion detection is available in HomeKit for automation. Their website gives zero info on how to use the light or temperature sensors. Anyone have this thing and know what how to use light...

I'm wondering if anyone running the beta can comment on the reliability of HomeKit in the new release? Check the image I've attached and you'll see what I mean; I'll intermittently get "No Response" on my Philips Hue Lights in the Home app, both on my multiple phones and my watch, as well as my...

Do you have a fix for this particular scenario: 1) Two partitions boot drive, the second one formatted exFAT 2) Relocate Home directory to Partition2 using the default way: System Preferences -> Users & Groups -> Advanced Options -> Home directory 3) Install Skype 4) At first launch Skype...

So I've had every iPhone since launch and have always used them at 100% brightness. However with the 7 Plus, at full brightness, my iPhone starts to get really hot and oddly, it starts at the home button and the bottom bezel area becomes really hot (the screen itself doesn't get hot which I'd...

Can't edit title but it says "used to" Hey I've had my new regular iPhone 7 for about 10 days now and I'm still not getting used to the Taptic Engine home button. I'm using setting 3 and I just can't get rid of that obnoxious feeling pressing my thumb/fingers against a solid state "button"...

Hopefully someone can help with this, it's been driving me mad... My ATV4 is refusing to stay connected as a home hub. I can sign in and control everything with Siri, then a short while later it stops working and the Home app on my phone reports the ATV as disconnected. I've reset my whole...

Is there a way to remove that extra page? Normally I keep only two pages. First one with the ones I heavily use. When I unlock my device, I can find the app Im looking fast since there is only two pages. Now having a third one, I get lost many times. Same for Control Center; I swipe up to open...

Hi all. I have a number of iOS 10 devices and the latest Apple TV. Home is working fine for device control both at home and away from home, however location-based automation is not. Privacy permissions in settings are set correctly—what could be going wrong?

So, I know this is a pointless post, but I figured I'd share anyways. Anyways, I saw this on eBay's front page of daily deals. The home screen screenshot is from a post a while back on this forums, which can be found here. Once again, this is kind of a pointless post, but I think it's kind of cool.

I just recently got an iPhone 6 and the home button seems incredibly recessed when compared to other generations. It's physically uncomfortable to run my finger over it. Thoughts?
