homekit

Good morning all, happy to be here and looking for some input on indoor security cameras. I'm drawn to Homekit for security purposes but concerned about the how it might limit the functionality of the cameras. Two cameras would be the only Homekit enabled devices used. I recently tried the...

I am currently experiencing difficulties with Home/HomeKit. I tried to add a bridge as an accessory to my home, but it is stuck in a perpetual loading state. I have already tried rebooting and reinstalling, but none of these measures have been effective. I would appreciate any suggestions or...

Does anybody is having this problem?

What is Apple Homekit and how do determine if a TV is compatible with apple homekit

• iPhone 15 Pro - iOS 17.2.1 (mine) • Apple TV 4K 64 GB (latest) - tvOS 17.2 (parents' house) • Meross MSG100 door opener - firmware 4.2.12 (parents' house) I have my own Home app setup for my house with my own iCloud account. I have Homescreen Home widgets setup and clicking on them activates...

I recently got some HomePod minis, and they’re working nicely with our smart home setup. We also upgraded our window roller shutters to be HomeKit compatible. So now via Hey Siri on the HomePods we can open and close the roller shutters. It got me wondering… if we’re not at home, does Hey Siri...

I have a client who has a couple of Meross MSS110 smart switches. They had successfully been added to the Home app in the process of being added to the Wi-Fi network. We had good reason to change the password to the Wi-Fi network, which made those two switches unresponsive. Meross’s procedure...

I recently upgraded HomeKit to the newer architecture. All my Apple devices are on the latest OS as is my HomeKit hub ATV4k. So far my Lutron caseta switches work just fine. However my Yale assure 2 lock interfacing with HomeKit lags with No Response at times and delays with lock status. I get...

I’ve run into an issue where I can no longer add any new accessories, I have maybe a dozen to 15 accessories connected now and they all work. However, a few weeks ago, I bought an eve flare and tried to add it without luck . I finally sent it back just thinking it was something wrong with the...

Sup guys/gals, is there any possible way for me to revert this HomeKit architecture upgrade ? I feel like ever since I upgraded, it’s been wreaking havoc on my smart devices. At first it was just random devices, one by one. As of yesterday, I have every single device in my Home app with No...

I am finishing up building my new home in a rural remote area in Ireland although I do spend quite a bit of time away for work at my other home in London and therefore I am pretty concerned regarding security when I am not there. Therefore as an Apple fan boy I have decided to setup HomeKit...

I've submitted a Feature Request to Apple, asking them to add a HomePod restart progress bar inside the home app. Current behavior, when you press restart, is that nothing happens visually to indicate your tap of the restart button even worked. Adding a progress bar would be visually consistent...

I've asked this before, but it's been a while, and maybe things have changed. My mom needs a couple of security cameras. They should be wireless, battery operated, and outdoor. I'd also like to see HKSV, and NO subscriptions. What's a good choice? I'm thinking Eve, but I have no idea. She has...

During the night our power was out due to a bad storm - about 4 hours. Today, all of my HomeKit accessories work, including smart lights - but for most, only at the switch. Both Apple's Home app and the apps for Nanoleaf (A19 and Flood bulbs) and Meross (Flood bulbs) cannot detect the bulbs...

I have been thinking about jumping ship to Android for a while, but the Apple ecosystem tends to keep me locked in. I won't go into detail on that; I have opened other discussions around that. For this thread specifically, I am currently using an iPhone 14 Pro, but have 100% of my home...

I have updated my 14 ProMax to the ios17 PB1 and it broke HomeKit remote access. All my hubs are on iOS 16. My iPad Pro was on 16.5 and still had remote access. As soon as I updated to 17 PB1 it broke there too. I was able to briefly get it to work on iPhone by rapidly cycling the toggle under...

I have an iPhone 11 lying around with very bad battery. I'm wondering if some combination of Standby Mode and Interactive Widgets would allow me turn it into a permanently plugged-in home console. All of the lights in my house are HomeKit controlled and having a permanent control console would...

Hi, Im planning to buy the Aqara Camera Hub G3 and some sensors to use in my Homekit. Is it possible to block all internet traffic for the camera, all traffic besides the one used for Homekit and secure video?

Hi there, I don't know if the tittle make sense, but anyway - If I want a Smart Home setup with MATTER and wifi, but I don't have (or want) a Smart Home Hub like AppleTV or HomePod, could I skip this step with a Google Nest Wifi Pro (that support MATTER and Homekit) ? I already own a Macbook...

Symptoms: All icloud devices (iPhone, iPad, Mac) related to my icloud account, when opening the Home app, will result in a screen “Loading accessories and scenes”. All devices connected to charger, will constantly result in home accessories using battery in background. Please see screenshot...
