Hello, I have an extra freezer in the basement that stores breast milk, meat, etc. and I'm looking for a temperature monitor that can connect to the phone and warn me if the temperature drops below the set threshold. I've looked by myself and haven't found anything so far. Do you have any ideea? Thanks […]

17.4 humor aside, I really think I'm seeing improved video quality. I use eufy 2c Pro and 2 Pro cameras. I wonder if anyone sees anything similar?

Do you have your HomeKit devices on a separate network?

I bought 2 HomePod mini. Setup done, both work with HomeKit and play music very well. Except sometimes a HomePod (the one in the living room) will turn itself off after a minute or two. The music "continues" on my phone when I check it, like it's still playing, but there's no sound from the […]

hi, I have a smart home setup with HomePod, I have a shortcut to turn off my tv and all the lights in my apartment, I named it "I'm leaving" every time I say "hey siri, I'm leaving" the first time she she replies "be fine" or "I'll be here" and then I have to […]

I don't see a way to prevent someone from removing the cover. Other models see a screw for the battery case.

Problem: Last week, my Aqara CH-H01 HomeKit cameras suddenly started sending motion detection notifications to my iPhone when I'm home (despite being set up in HomeKit to only notify me when I'm not home). The cameras have been working properly for over a year. One-person household so there are no conflicts with Apple devices from […]

Hi all! I got such a great response from my last Q that I thought I'd ask another one :) So, I have a 4 story house (not as grand as it sounds) and the "front door" is on the floor 3, above. of steps on the edge of the property. At the bottom of […]

I bought a 52 inch Hunter Exton with Smart LEDs. Although it looks good, it has a bit of engine noise. It looks and sounds very similar to the aerodyne model I've seen many people refer to. The fans we received also have a bunch of flaws. Are there better options?

I set up an automated scene to open/close when I arrive or leave. Not working. It works when I manually go into any of the apps and open or close the doors. Is anyone else having this problem? How can I fix it? Things possible for the home set. I'm still at home since I […]

I have a small sauna at home and it takes about 40 minutes to reach the desired temperature. If I want to take a morning sauna, I have to get up 40 minutes earlier to start it, which is not practical. My sauna remote requires one press to turn on the sauna and another to […]

Hi, my lock is quite old and I want to replace it with a smart lock. I like the Aqara U100 but I'm not entirely sure it's compatible. Does anyone know if it would go with him?

I have a lamp in each room (called "living room lamp", "bedroom lamp", etc.) and homepods in each room. I'm in my bedroom saying "siri turn off the lamp" and it's controlling the lamp in the living room downstairs? surely we should assume I mean the one in the same room as the homepod?

I purchased a recently released Eve Energy Outlet with Matter and installed it along with a spare Eve Energy that I updated to Matter firmware a while back to see how things go with HomeKit, Thread and Matter. I also have some Eve Energy and Eve Light Switch which are HomeKit only with Thread firmware […]

I'm having problems with my HomeKit eve motion wire. It performed reliably until the other day until two things happened 1. I installed an eve movement in the hallway 2. The control strip holding it to the wall gave way and fell 5-10 cm. I changed the batteries and it says it detects motion in […]

I have a Valor gas fireplace. The installer said it was not possible to be HomeKit compatible because the remote requires pressing TWO buttons at the same time to turn on the fire (ONE to cancel). He made a mistake?

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 […]
