Internet is working, I restarted my modem and router and everything is still offline. When I get home, it's all online. Any suggestions?

I'm looking to buy this [Kent Panel Heater](https://kent.co.nz/product/smart-convective-2000w-panel-heater-with-wifi/). Use the Tuya app for Smart Control. I know that certain devices (like the Zemismart and others) can be exposed to HomeKit via a HOOBS or a certain Zigbee hub, however, I'm not sure about this specific device. If a device can be controlled via the Tuya […]

I added an Eve thermo (https://www.evehome.com/en/eve-thermo) smart radiator valve to a bedroom radiator in our house. We created some automations like: “Between 7:00 and 10:00, heat to 20°. At 10:00, stop.” The start and stop part works fine. But temperature sensitivity is always ignored. The unit frequently reports temperatures of 21, 22, 23, but the […]

I have a whole house speaker (HVAC connected) with a Meross MSS120 outlet. I would like to trigger the outlet to turn on and off based on when my HVAC fan is running. It is connected to an Ecobee 3. I found that the Eve app exposes the "status" of the thermostat with three states: […]

Hi. I'm trying to find a smart lock that fits European doors that includes Apple Homekey. I'd like to be able to use the home key without an ugly number pad on the door. is it even possible? I just hate the look of it and would never use a numeric code or fingerprint scanner […]

Is there a way to enable and disable someone's access to my home once I give them access to my home? For example, I have my teenage son once every two weeks and I'd like him to only have access when he's here so he can use Apple Home Key on his phone. but when […]

I experimented with using one of my unused AirTags to create a personal automation by making it act as an NFC tag. The problem is that I have to have the phone literally touch the AirTag and hold it there sometimes for 5 to 10 seconds before it detects the tag. has anyone used an […]

I live in Canada and find it a pain to constantly change my smart thermostat every season from cold to warm and vice every season, is there a personal automation I could do. To eliminate the need to do this every season. I would like to avoid setting the thermostat to hot/cold

Potential Aqara Lineup for 2024 With Lots of Wired Devices! 🙌

So I just installed an outdoor camera and it's my first visit to hksv. In the iPhone, in the home app, I set to record. However, on my iPad I get a prompt to set it up again, but then I get an error when I set it up. Is there a fix for this? […]

Hi. I purchased two Eve MotionBlind upgrade kits and can't for the life of me add one of them to my homekit. The first one I was able to add without problems, but the second one I tried almost everything. Reset the connection (program button for ten seconds to 5 clicks), reset the blinds (program […]

Has anyone experienced a HomeKit accessory that does the opposite of what you ask it to do? I have a HK TV in scenes to leave home and go to bed. When the scene is activated, the TV must turn off if it is on. Instead, it lights up if it's off. Virtually every time […]

You currently have a Tork 701B timer used for whole house ventilation. Does anyone have a recommendation for something that might be HomeKit compatible? Thanks!

Is there a way to verbally command Siri on the HomePod to play music from my iPhone? I can't seem to do that. On my echo devices I can only say Alexa, connect to iPhone, but I haven't found the equivalent on the HomePod.

Hi everyone, I don't know if this is here or r/siri, but I have a HomeKit desk lamp from Meross. Unfortunately, it doesn't have adaptive lighting (I like adaptive lighting), and I'm having trouble telling Siri to adjust the lamp shade to a warmer or cooler white. It doesn't have RGB, just white with the […]

What is the best ringtone with HKSV? Thanks!

iPhone 14 Pro, Apple Watch 5, Schlage Encode Plus x2. My phone was fixed last week with a new battery (it was exploding). After the new battery, my phone will no longer unlock any of the Encode Plus units I have on my door with a tap. I can still lock/unlock with my watch or […]

I need blinds on my Velux windows and am considering the Velux Active with solar blinds which claims to work with Apple HomeKit. Does anyone have any experience with this and can tell me how well it works and integrates with HomeKit? https://www.velux.co.uk/products/electrical-roof-windows/velux-active

I live in my grandparents house from the 70s. One of the bedrooms has a rotary knob (rotary selector?), there have been a few times in the last 5 weeks that the light has come on by itself, usually in the evening but never overnight. Does my dad think it's electric? Is it common for […]

I looked at the Aqara U200 but now I'm wondering if it would fit my door? In the promo pictures I only see it installed in doors with a handle and 1 lock, but I have two locks. Also, the locks can't be turned without first activating multipoint, which makes me wonder how the smart […]

I inspected the lock used on two Andersen Heritage doors that I installed. I tried looking it up on the Andersen site, either I missed it or it's not listed. In any case, I would like to replace them with something like a U100 smart lock or similar. Can it be done (or *should* be […]

I'm looking at getting some shades for the window and some curtains for the sliding glass door. After the remodel we have a single Lutron Casseta hub for Lutron switches. We met with a representative of Hunter Douglas. and now thinking about "Hunter Douglas Vignette Roman Shades Powerview Gen3" and "Hunter Douglas curtains with IronArt […]

Apple can you use some of this money for HomeKit please!!

I've been looking at unifying outlet management, cameras around an Apple TV acting as a hub. After looking at different options (eg the usual suspects like Eufy and Aqara for cameras), I get the impression that each manufacturer has their own application and enrollment process as a prerequisite to adding a device to HomeKit. So […]

HomePod stereo pair connected to ATV keeps disconnecting

The question speaks for itself. Looking for a house lock with codes that might be ideal for my apartment? Considering that I airbnb my apartment from time to time, I think it's a good idea to have it with codes... But I don't know which are available and can adapt European doors (especially French). Thanks!

I've also posted this on r/ecobee as I think it's more of a device issue, but posting here if anyone has encountered this. I had a really hard time trying to get the doorbell to connect to the Homekit. It's fine in the Ecobee app but refuses to connect in the Home app. I know […]

So, firmware 2.1.3 came out a long time ago and probably many of you already knew about it. But somehow I overlooked it. While trying to figure out why Eve Weathers seem to eat through batteries, I came across this setting. All of mine were set to high. Probably the default migration setting from 2.1.1. […]

I installed several security cameras and configured Scrypted with them. All cameras are visible in the software, even remotely. As I try to add the cameras to the homekit, they get loaded for about 2 minutes and don't add them. With QR and code. I'm not in that house right now where my setup is, […]

Does anyone know if the Meross three socket outdoor smart plus is adjustable?

Some I've been looking for a way to automate my HRV. Here in the north I don't want to run it all the time because of the cold winters. But I would like to change it when the CO2 or radon level rises in my basement. I have a bunch of HomeKit stuff and homebridge […]

I've been dealing with HomeKit for a while now and it's starting to drive me crazy. we have 2 iPhones in our household that came with iOS 16 and iOS 17 out of the box and we can create a home and add them to the same home in HomeKit. however, we have 2 other […]

I bought a Logitech Circle View doorbell from Amazon late last year and since I'm from Europe I happily paid the import tax because it's not available here. It arrived in a good month and was very excited to install it. Then the trouble started. Looks like I got a DOA. It didn't connect to […]
