One way to save me fiddling with US-Euro voltage adapters...

to make a long story short, 7 of my HomePod mini across 3 locations and 2 continents stopped working. I can ping them, but they are unavailable. Luckily my Alexa devices did not, and the apps like Lutron and Protect are working great so still have remote access. Wondering if there were any...

First, I want to state that I am very happy with the redesigned app. It looks a lot better and is a lot more streamlined. However, I cannot stand how the button works. I mean how often do you change the settings for each light or fan? Once it is properly set up, I hardly change the setting...

I'm currently in the process of selling my old house (House #1) and living in my new one (House #2). I have homekit devices in the old house to give it the "lived in" look when I am not there. Everything worked fine - until I started adding homekit devices in my new house. I setup a 2nd house...

Does anyone have experience with the new Wemo Smart Doorbell for HomeKit? Wemo Smart Doorbell

Hello, I'm starting to play with Homekit devices. I currently have some Sonoff switches reprogrammed for HomeKit and added to My Home in Apple. I have set up the automation that if one of the household members returns home after dusk, certain lights are automatically turned on. I would like to...

I've been trying to restore the software on my HomePod minis to troubleshoot some HomeKit problems I have. I have two HomePod minis. I tried doing the restore by holding down the display on top. That wouldn't work (nothing happened). So I tried plugging into my M1 Mac. That wouldn't work...

I recently got the echo show 10 from Amazon, which has a zigbee hub. I can’t figure out how to connect it to HomeKit so I can use Siri for my Sengled smart bulb. Does anyone know how to do this?

HomePod Mini as hub and location issue I need help with Apple Homepod Mini. I was using Apple TV as hub but I wanted to switch to new HomePod Mini, but there is no option for that. I removed home and tried to add only HomePod Mini and then setup as hub but still no luck. Also, there is one more...

Hi all, I've been using a Robin ProLine Doorbell for almost 1 year now. It allows me to see a live video from my doorbell and start a live conversation with a visitor, right from the Apple Home app. Prior to the launch of Logitech Circle View Doorbell, it was the only doorbell officially...

I have recently moved to a new address and have changed my home address in my contacts card, in maps as well as in my Apple ID settings. Since moving my lights will randomly go off and music will pause at the same time randomly on my HomePods/Apple TV. I was confused why this happened, until I...

I keep coming around to the idea that HomeKit might not be the one for me anymore and was wondering if anyone else felt the same? I am unable to find decent products (doorbells, I’m looking at you) the products I do find all seem to require their own app or cloud service and when Siri does...

I’m trying to setup a simple automation to unlock the door when I get home. But I’m only given the option of Anyone arrives home when I’m setting up the automation. We have two iPhones and one iPad btw. How can I select specific people?

Just ditched IKEA home smart as it was flaky and tried doing a brand new set up with Philips Hue. I can add the Hue Bridge 2.0 to Home but it doesn’t appear in the Home app and subsequently none of the Hue lights appear either. I’ve tried doing a factory reset of the Hue bridge and starting...

What I have installed - Logitech Doorbell camera and four Logitech Circle View cameras divided into two home groups in the hope that enough cycles would be available to support them if they were divided. There did not appear to be enough cycles to support successful completion of the program...

2021 is almost over, but I havn't seen any showcase of homekey being used yet. It should have been released in IOS15? Is there any look companies that has implemented this yet? Salto systems haven't. And they have had NFC for android for years now.

I'm a pretty big HomeKit user, pushing 60 devices, and I was curious if anyone else would like to see Apple come out with a device like the Echo Show 15. Seems like it could be a really awesome device if it could use Face ID for user switching even Even if it just showed weather info, shared...

I’m only a couple weeks into HomeKit, including two mini’s, my Apple TV, the August SmartLoc, some Nanoleaf lamps and 12 Lutron Caseta devices. Everything set up perfectly, but being a HomeKit newbee I did not record and keep the device codes in case of a failure. Unfortunately, I tossed all...

Hello I've noticed that with iOS 15, I now have the option to specify if I want a notification if a person, vehicle, animal or package has been detected. Before I either had to choose between "get a notification when a movement has been detected" or "when a video clip has been recorded". After...
