Setting up HomeKit for the first time today. Having problems with the Lifx bulb and the Logi Circle View cam. (connectivity, motion detection issues)

Cupertino, June 4, 2020

So to elaborate a little. I ordered a refurbishment of the iPad Air 2019, a Logi Circle View and a Lifx Multicolor A19 / E26, all directly from the online apple store. They showed up today and I have a lot of problems.

For starters: I connected to iCloud, so everything should sync well, I checked three times that I'm on my Wi-Fi 2G network and I restarted the router + I set it to WPA.

The Lifx app is the only thing that will connect to the light bulb - I tried to use my personal iPad and iPhone to set it up at home, it didn't even work. I get one of three errors: they are not compatible with my router (which I fixed by switching to the 2G network), they cannot be found or they cannot be added. I'm not sure why it doesn't work or if I'm doing something wrong, but I followed all the instructions I can find.

Logi Circle View has the opposite problem - it was added to the omekit on the first try and it felt absolutely magical, but I have it behind a ~~ sensor ~~ *** window ***, so motion detection is triggered every few seconds . even when nothing happens. People have mentioned that this can be solved by setting up motion notifications through the Circle View app, but the camera won't connect to it - it says "Set up in Apple Home First", but I've already set it up. So, since it doesn't work, I wonder if there is a way to fix / reduce the sensitivity of the motion sensor in the Home app? I dug through every menu that seemed vaguely relevant and all I could do was stop detecting movement during the day :(
