Ever since I updated my iPhone 11 Pro Max to iOS 15, when I get camera notifications, if I touch the notification, it usually takes me to the recorded clip for that notification and plays it. Now, it just brings up the Home app and shows me nothing. I have to find the clip to play it. Just me...

Since updating my iPhone and iPad to iOS 15 and iPadOS 15, I can no longer view recorded clips on my home app on either of them. The timeline no longer shows a preview thumbnail for each clip, and when I navigate to one to watch it, it just hangs up after trying to load on a black screen. This...

Looks like TVOS 15 now supports looking at your HomeKit cameras. I can even see some related settings. But I cannot figure out where to see the actual video feeds. There's no Home app still.

Has anyone been able to setup recording on more than 1 cam with HSV with a 200Gb iCloud+ plan? I have been waiting through all Beta versions patiently hoping that it would be available by the final RC/Public version. I’m just starting a conversation to see if others are facing this issue or have...

Hello Everyone, I have purchased a Logitech Security camera and I have been having issues connecting the camera to my 2.4 GHZ WIFI. I have an ASUS 6E Router, I have tried connecting the camera to a Personal Hotspot and it connects without any issues. I have tried changing 2.4Ghz wifi settings...

Does anyone know how I can setup an Apple TV, as an admin of a home, but not the owner? Currently, to get Homekit support on my Apple TV, I have to get the home owner to set it up, even though I am a home admin. This means that the default account on the ATV is that person, when it’s in a...

Hey guys, wanted some help from people that may be more experienced in HomeKit. I'm moving into my new place some time in the future and currently trying to plan out the smart home accessories. One of the main issues is the lighting situation, I plan to run 2x lines of LED Strips across my...

I just downloaded the Pushcuts app to my iphone 11. It's the free version. I setup a simple notification that plays an alert sound and displays "driveway alert" in the notification. When I test the notification in Pushcuts it works as it should. Notification and sound. I copied the webhook...

Moving to a new home and setting up a new network (tri-band WiFi 6). I am considering an Asus TX8. What I can see it is a top option in terms of options and speed, both for router and satellites. However, it doesn’t have HomeKit. Checking options like eero and linksys they both fall short on the...

… but she is not. I’m fairly new to HomeKit and I’ve recently bought a security camera (VOCOlinc VC1 Opto) and connected it to HomeKit. The streaming settings that I have right now are: Off when somebody is at home Stream and record when no one is at home Whenever we leave home HomeKit...

All of the sudden, 2 of the 3 front-of-house cameras that point to the road are triggering a motion detected alert every time a car drives by, despite that each of the cameras has an activity zone set that removes the road from what is being monitored. This is not a new setup...it's be running...

Hello, Moving to a house that has the washer/dryer in the basement. Thing is, there’s no access to the basement from within the house. I have to go out the front door, down two sets of stone steps, across a large parking area, to a door on the side of the house. Bad enough, but in winter, it...

I am trying to have a HomeKit-enabled smart plug power on my backup drive at a specific time of the day and power off the smart plug once the Time Machine backup is completed. So far I’m able to back up to the drive and automatically eject it upon completion. For more info see the following...

Since update HomePods (both small and large) and Apple TV to 14.5.x, problem has appeared for all household members who are added to the HOME. The problem manifests itself in sending huge amounts of data over the cellular network when someone is away from home and very fast battery consumption...

Ever since updating to 14.5 I can’t seem to say ‘goodnight’ to Siri, as it always accuses me of not being at home… I have a scene named “goodnight” and this used to reliably switch off all my HomeKit devices. Now I get this message and selecting yes just shows an error. This occurs on any iOS...

HI, There are alot of light switches for HomeKit but they're all new 'Paddle' style. Are there any "traditional" toggle switches here in the US? closest I got so far: I see the 'C by GE' which is close, but they are single gang and I need two sidebyside (they don't make a double plate?!) Not...

I am looking for some compatible air purifier that is Homekit certified. I know one of the famous one is VOCOline and I also watched a youtube review of Smartmi P1 which is a smaller type and it's root brand seems a Xiaomi series. What about any other suggestion? If it really works well with...

I’m interested in investing in a couple of SimpliSafe Smart Locks. I like the idea that I can automate doors to lock in case I forgot to do so manually. My question is, are such locks generally safe to use? As in, is it hard to hack or bypass them, or disable them altogether?

Other day I removed my Liftmaster hub from my MyQ app and in doing so it wiped out all of my HomeKit accessories. Any way I can retrieve them without having to manually enter each one? Thanks in advance.

I’ve been using a sunbeam electric heated mattress pad with wireless remote controls for the past few years but the mattress pads tend to fray and don’t last long. I’m about to replace the third one while researching other heated mattress pads that have wireless controls and thought there might...
