Hi :) I have a problem with the "When I arrive" automation. Well, I set it up so that when I come home, my iPhone switches from cellular data to Wi-Fi. The address is set with an accuracy of about 150 m. The problem is that this automation never works before reaching home, but always […]

Hello, I purchased an Arlo Doorbell and Arlo SmartHub and thought that with the Hub it would allow HomeKit integration. Is this the case? If so, how do I do it?

So I have an Eve Door sensor that connects via Bluetooth and HomeKit. I connected it to my Apple TV which I believe works as a Home Hub. I'm currently in the process of moving so my Apple TV isn't online or powered atm, however I've noticed that I still have motivations when the door […]

Hi everyone, I have an Aqara G4 doorbell. I'm basically inundated with notifications of people detected on the path outside my house. I want them to be recorded if something happened, however I only want notifications for when someone/something is in my garden area/outside my door. Will activity zones fix this? Basically it records everything […]

Hi everyone - I installed a Yale Assure Lock 2 Touch yesterday, and after installing I was able to add it to HomeKit. Since then I've had a problem with the Yale app not seeing the lock (we don't have the WiFi module so the lock connects to our phones via bluetooth) so I took […]

Apple Watch Series 7 (Cellular), iPhone 13 mini, all about the latest updates Can someone explain why Siri on my Apple Watch won't work with Home? When I give Siri a command about something in Home, it always responds with "Your Xxxx is taking a while to respond." This will happen when I'm away from […]

I just got a TUO smart button and it seems to be working fine for me. However, I question the authenticity of the device that was sent to me. The package had no "sticker" or any other obvious enclosure. Just a box that can be opened and closed without showing signs of tampering. The actual […]

Hi everyone, I came up with the idea of ​​making Siri intercom messages go to my other Google Home screens. I think this could be done by implementing a fake HomePod that can receive the intercoms which then sends the audio files to a server that processes these files to send to Google screens. I […]

Hi all, I purchased two Eve cameras for outdoor use and paid an electrician $550 to install them. Unfortunately I can't connect them to my house. Write Accessory not found when trying. I'm using a Nest WiFi mesh system that has Ethernet backhaul on all nodes. A node is literally right next to the camera. […]

I have several Leviton Decora Gen2 switches, a few Philips Hue, and a few Kasa plugs in HomeKit. A few days ago, all Leviton devices were disconnected from HomeKit. Everything else is fine. Leviton switches show "no response". However, in the MyLeviton app, they are up and running and I can control them. Is there […]

Ever since I updated the firmware on my tp-link mesh router, each device has gone "unresponsive" one by one. I put all IoT on a dedicated 2.4Ghz "guest" network. I guess it's a good thing they didn't all log out at once. But still, annoying. Has anyone else suffered the same?

Does Eve have a switch that can do this? I don't want to buy a bridge!

Hi, anyone else having problems with these buttons chewing the batteries? I got 4 buttons Nov/Dec last year and now replacing the batteries in 2 of them for the second time already. It would also be great if there was a low battery alert in Homekit before it runs out so you can prepare.

Hi! I plan to set up 8 PoE 4K security cameras. I found out that there are a few companies to choose from, but I still haven't decided which way to go. I know 4K isn't currently available in HomeKit, but I just use HomeKit as a quick and dirty way to search for my […]

When I add door and window sensors to the Aqara app, they appear twice in the home app. I added 8 sensors through the Aqara app, but the Home app thinks there are 16. The Home app has 1 "Aqara Door & Window Sensor" and 1 "Contact Sensor" for each physical device. Why is that?

How do I fix TV statuses that don't agree?

What's the point of a smart assistant that just tells me to do something manually? To clarify, I'm asking it to mute the Apple TV that's paired with a stereo pair of Apple HomePods, I'm not asking it to interface with anything outside of Apple products, and it can't even do that... For what it's […]

I have a lock level plus and an Apple TV 4K. The problem is that the Apple TV is too far away for the level lock to always be connected to it. I've tested this by moving my Apple TV next to the lock and it never fails, but I can't keep it there. If […]

I'm about to return my Eve Cam, but before I do, I wanted to see if anyone else has encountered and solved this problem. I installed the camera a few days ago and since then my notification center looks like this. Eve Cam seems to go offline when no one is home and comes online […]

Hey everyone, just a cautionary tale from me. Do not buy Meross Smart Plugs!!! Had some trouble setting them up, but then they worked pretty well for a few months until February. Since then, I sometimes manage to set them up once every 20 tries, but then lose the Wi-Fi connection the next time they […]

I leave Samsung Smartthings and set up Apple Home Kit. I've used the samsung hub for years and it's been perfect, but it doesn't interface with iphones like it did with a galaxy. To make life easier, I'm switching to the home kit, but I'm at a loss as to which hub to use. So […]

Appears to be a 1080p gen 3, seller accepted €25

I just got a HomePod 2 and HomePod Mini to control my house (it works on Home Assistant, but everything is integrated into HomeKit). When I tried to run some commands, I found out that it can't find the device associated with its name. When I say "turn on Kitchen Corner", it doesn't react, yet […]

You have a second home in another state. I like the idea of ​​remote cameras, leak sensors, and door locks - which they give me through HomeKit. My question for this group is: how *reliable* is it? I've seen far too many systems that require periodic reboots; or that do not recover well from a […]

Hello! I can't remove a Meross Smartplug (model MSS210) from my HomeKit. I changed the router and was able to reconnect all my HomeKit and Meross. Last one left: the aforementioned Meross smart plug. I have two of them so I know how to do it and one of them worked. I reset it and […]

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has been able to install a motor in a blind rail to allow automatic use? Most of the options I found were for roller blinds.. These are pictures of the blinds - if anyone has any suggestions! https://preview.redd.it/b1o4ucalsqmc1.png?width=4032&format=png&auto=webp&s=e53bd27b44605ec1e587f33d79938402fec9f9a9 https://preview.redd.it/riwtd27b44605ec1e587f33d79938402fec9f9a9 redd.it/riwtwt18png? s=5db9ee191e6c8886a4db1ddd8845433a08f61b05

It won't update to 17.4 after I updated my iPhone. AppleTV also says 17.3 is current. Somebody else?

Since yesterday's iPhone and iPad update, my wives iPad receives intercom messages, but the sound is very silent. Despite the fact that the volume has increased. Her phone and all HomePods ship as normal. My iPad receives her intercom messages at normal volume. I turned her on and off the intercom in HomeKit and turned […]

Hi, this is a strange problem. I have an EE router, from the router I have a direct connected Linksys Velop AP running a WiFi mesh. All my smart home devices (Hue, Lightwave, Tado, Eufy) are connected to the Velop system. If I open Homekit I can see my two Eufy cameras in the viewer […]

I have two doors to enter my house upstairs: one would be to enter a corridor with a terrace which then leads to my main door. I am looking for a smart frog that can be installed in the picture door, but it should also be weatherproof as it is outside. There is another floor […]

Hi, my iPhone updated to 17.4 overnight and now none of our hubs at home are responding even though they are 500 km away from our house. Hue, Aqara, etc all work, but not Homekit pods. Could it be because of the update? However, it shows the same for the girlfriend who has 17.3.1. Apple […]
