homekit

Hi all, I just got a nanoleaf Aurora for my home office. I set it up so on Tues/Thurs to do all white lights at 6:15 AM, and then to switch to a blue at 3:20 PM to remind me to get my son from school. I also set up the lights to turn off at 11:00 PM. All this seemed clear. Then I got...

So there's plenty of rumours about the upcoming Siri Home speaker. I'll likely get one of these if/when they become official anyway, but I was wondering if there's a way to build my own using my iPhone, and connecting to an Amazon Echo Dot via bluetooth? Here's my vision: I connect my iPhone...

If you want to control your device's volume with Siri, I've figured out a simple workaround that requires no additional code or software that you probably don't already have installed (i.e., Homebridge, the Harmony app, HomeKit, and the EXCELLENT HarmonyHub plugin). The main problem is that the...

I have been testing out a few devices for home automation and lime training HomeKit integration app and the fact I can bring in all these other devices in a central software. Anyway..I set my 4th Gen Apple TV today and to my surprise you cannot lock out photos from iCloud. All someone has to...

Does anyone know if HomeKit has an easy way to add delays to actions? I have tried searching but havent had any luck, for example if I add an Elgato Motion Sensor is there anyway to have it turn on a device after say 15 seconds?

What was your order date? Have you received an email update from them? Have you received your unit yet? If so, does it work as promised? Does it work with HomeKit? My Situation: Emailed them October 11th asking if they could give me a lead-time. I was remodeling a house and needed them by...

Although I love the idea of my lights turning off and on when i come and go, is there a way in the Home app to say something like, I'm leaving the house, but my wife isn't, so leave the lights on. But if we are both leaving, turn them off? I'm using an Koogeek outlet, my wife and I both have iOS...

Hi guys....I am new to Homekit-- and so far have a Lutron Caseta bridge for lights, an Ecobee3 Thermostat, a Schlage Sense front door lock... and an Apple TV to tie it all together. I'm building the house one piece at a time. I really want to be able to control the water heater remotely, so...

I didn't realize iOS 10.2 - Adds notification support for HomeKit accessories including window coverings, occupancy, motion, door/window, smoke, carbon monoxide, and water leak sensors. Hope to see a variety of new HomeKit devices of these types soon. Fibaro seems first with their water leak...

I'm trying to figure out how Lutron's Scene Pico -- Model PJ2‑4B‑XX‑L31P: 4-button Pico wireless control PRO works with their Hub and The HK Home app. Is this the way it works?? Pico scene remote is added to the hub first Each of the scene buttons are independent and each can be attached to...

Hi. Does anyone know of a noise machine that works with HomeKit?

I guess this is the appropriate section - just thought i'd give fellow Mac users a little write up of my experiences between the two mainly for smart home control. Alexa only came out mid October in the UK and we're still missing some features however so far i've not been overly impressed. I...

Is it possible for a trigger to come from somewhere other than time or another HomeKit device? I would like to have a trigger come from (for example) a weather app, so the trigger would happen when rain is forcast in the next hour. Or from an e-mail from a specific person... Is there anything...

I set up a Home automation geo location rule. i.e. when I get home, unlock door and turn on light. However, when I get close to home... an alert pops up and says... 'Do you want to run home automation?'. What is that about?? Why ask me... if it asks me... I might as well just open the app and...

Hi! I hope this hasn't been asked before... I have smart items in my apartment and none work with Homekit. Without spending a ton to repurchase everything with Homekit capabilities, does anyone know of a way for me to use these devices with Homekit? Any smart hubs that would do this? Any...

Is it possible to combine an Amazon Dot (since they are just $50) for Alexa control and still maintain Homekit Siri control on the same devices? A Dot would be convenient for when a phone is left in my bag or the kids leave their phone upstairs or whatever. And the price point is pretty sweet...

I have a budding Homekit enabled Home started. We are successfully running Phillips Hue and Ecobee 3 and my Lutron Caseta kit arrives tomorrow to replace a two gang switch area that is in my kitchen/living area. We also have an Apple TV gen 4. I am currently using the Manufacturer apps and...

Has anyone gotten the automations to work within the home app? I have them set up so when I leave and enter my house stuff happens, but none seem to function. Is there a portion I have to do on my apple tv to get it working?

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?

I'd like to do something very simple. I'd like to have a homekit controlled outlet switch mirror the state of the aTV. i.e. "On" when the aTV is awake, "Off" when the aTV is asleep. You'd think that the automation plan for "An Accessory is Controlled" might fit the bill, but Home doesn't...
