I just started getting into HomeKit automation stuff and my first purchase was the Tado AC v3 +. I have the Apple TV and 2 HomePods all connected to the 2.4g band on my Tado router simply refuses to set up, the little "thought circle" rotates for about 5-10 minutes before tell me it can't […]

Basically, when I click on the stage, I want the garage door to open and then close automatically after 15 minutes. I'm trying to ventilate my garage after a smoke. I smoke with the garage door closed.

WeMo Stage firmware update will not be installed.

I have some ideas on how I want to use them, but I'd love to hear what useful or fun automation you've found to make your home life much smarter! I'm thinking of using the motion sensor to turn on the light above the kitchen sink whenever we use it, because the only time we […]

Wemo Stage Scene Controller - Wire Testing vs. Bluetooth Link to the full video in the comments.

I bought 4 unique poles in April last year and maybe had to reset them twice (I also set a 2.4ghz SSID, dedicated HomeKit, separately). I'd love to go all-in on the Box, but since they're so solid, I'm having trouble justifying the price.

So, I just finished installing a Meross switch on my chicken coop. Everything went perfectly, until I tried to use Siri to open the coop. You guessed it. "You must continue on your device" Although I understand that the doors, garage doors, etc. is a security issue, there must be a way to replace it […]

Does the camera need to be placed at eye level on the door? I plan to install an rtsp security camera in the top corner of my porch (with homebridge), but I wonder how good HKSV is at detection and whether or not this would be a good idea. Any thoughts are appreciated!

I'm looking for recommendations for a wall mount for Eero Pro 6. I have a kitchen on the edge of the house where I want to put one of the routers, but I don't want to have it on the counter and rather on the wall next to / near the socket. Thanks!

Ever since I added a new Hue Bridge, my iPhone's battery has been slaughtered. 6 hours more activity in the HomeKit background.

I'm sorry if this isn't directly related to HK, I couldn't post to r / Netatmo, so I thought some people here might help me. After all, it is an official HomeKit accessory. I'm thinking of buying a Netatmo weather station and pairing it with their anemometer. 1. First of all, how is your overall […]

Do you have any idea why my LG TV will sometimes say no to HK? Here is a link: [not responding](https://share.icloud.com/photos/0dcqgJPLXun_0JNMZp59wpKZw#Home)

The title says it all, what is the best line of Thread compatible smart bulbs? Don't you want fancy wall art, do you want a solid line of light bulbs with different fittings / sizes, with color options and variable white color temperature?

I slowly migrated to the Google HomeKit. Automation and scenes seem to work well. I just added Arlo Pro to see how it works. Super easy to set up and now I have cover in the yard ... [Arlo Backyard](https://share.icloud.com/photos/0b9UovOO4n-CScIcV_iJ4owwA)

Hello - I built my own house and installed about 90 Insteon devices that I control with an ISY994 and I was mostly happy. The system is now about 10 years old and lacks interconnections with other platforms such as Alexa. Smarthome.com seems to be interrupting the platform for the most part. So I have […]

The first house is currently under construction. My goal is to have the whole "smart" house. All my lights are downlights. So I'm thinking of buying Smart Light switches instead of Smart Light Bulbs. Because there are 32 lights in the house. Any recommendation for all accessories. Lights, sockets. Door locks, sensors, cameras. All feedback […]

I was thrilled with the Wemo ringtone with HSV, but the video is so weak

I'm not sure when it started, but a few weeks ago I sent a Netatmo support email and received an automatic reply that the support was now redirected to Legrand USA. Two emails and I never got a reply back. Disappointing because my experience with their support when going to their French office was top […]

The changed device names in SmartThings and Homebridge reflect updates, but the Home app still shows old names. How do I update everything in HomeKit?

I have an Apple TV connected to a Roku TV. I also have a HomePod on the desk below. I can turn Roku TV on and off via voice commands and automation, but every time I turn it on I am sent to the Roku home page, when sometimes I would like to go directly […]

I don't know why, but the two minis that I have and that are in stereo go offline, I would say about three times a week. I saw how they disconnected them, but it has nothing to do with my Wi-Fi or internet, because everything works right from that point on when I see them […]

Hi all. I have a problem with automation scheduling. It seems that if I turn off an automation, usually because we want to sleep on a vacation, the automation still happens, until the NEXT day, when it is registered that it is disabled. I feel like I'm turning off automation long enough for it to […]

Hi, I'm using the controller app to control my homekit. I have an Aqara P3 that controls my air conditioning. In the settings, there is a "heating and cooling temperature threshold". What do these options do?

I kind of immersed myself in HomeKit in revenge after receiving some smart Christmas devices and I like some of the automation I was able to set up. I ordered a few Shelly 2.5s to try and set up the light / fan control in a few rooms, and I was wondering if it would […]

HSV preview with Starling / Nest 2021 camera!

Please let me know if there is a better forum for this! So today, at random, on my Apple TV, he said that a random person was trying to broadcast to him and showed the 4-digit code for authentication. I'm super worried right now. What can I do to protect myself and make sure my […]

What do you think is a better option for an ir blaster? I'm looking to do 2/3 around the house to control the remote controls. Looking for the easiest to set up and should not be the cheapest, but the easiest and easiest to use in HomeKit.

I have a scene where I only want a certain socket to light up when the scene is on at a certain time, but the other lights in the scene are on normally. If it was an automation, I could do it with a shortcut, but I can't with a scene. Any idea?

Since HKSV existed, Mac Mini (Intel or M1) could not stream HKSV cameras / ringtones unless you connect a USB audio input device of some kind. I've tried to report this to Apple a few times, but the problem persisted * forever *. I solved it by buying a cheap audio dongle from Amazon and […]

We have a bunch of Circle View cameras and a few ringtones, and the snapshots haven't been updated in the last two weeks. Live streaming and event recordings work very well. There was a post on MacRumors about this some time ago, so it's not just me. But as far as I can see, no […]
