Hi

I have Philips hue lights at home. I see netatmo new doorbell releasing future will also have HomeKit.

I never have 2 HomeKit devices work together before so I don’t if it works fast enough or there be delay.

I am wondering have someone press doorbell and have Philips Hue light flash or something similar.

Anyone experience using 2 different devices together using HomeKit works quickly or there delay?

Thanks.

Works fine. I have a couple of multiples set up. Patio, a light and 2 lamps turn on when I’m close to home using geo fencing. And I have my downstairs with it’s own turn on in a group.
Every switch and smart plug is a separate device

Fab! I have short experience with ITTF and notice it have delay too big (when I was testing it out for something else). I was hoping HomeKit works much faster and more native type feel.

If you have a hub setup like an Apple TV or gone pod you can control it anywhere you have a connection
