Hello fellow HomeKit users! Recently, my dad has been shopping for HomeKit devices. And I, being the IT guy of the family, had to deal with the headache of setting them all up.

Hello everyone! I've been slowly moving my apartment from a Google ecosystem to Apple HomeKit, and something my boyfriend and I realize we'd like to have is a way to turn off his computer using HomeKit. I know I could put it on a smart plug, but it would be even better if it was […]

I searched around and couldn't find a real definitive answer. I try to track my electric usage. I've bought a few non-HomeKit outlets and they track individual power usage, but there doesn't seem to be a real way to create a dashboard that shows all usage, and I'm also hoping to be able to control […]

Basically what the title says. I just received my first Homepod mini and have been trying to set up my homekit. When I tried to add the TCL Roku Smart TV via QR code, it processed, let me assign it to my home and camera, then it didn't show up under accessories at all. I […]

(UK)

What do you think about the difference between the two? I'm trying to figure out which one to get. I really don't need a hub. I'll set up via Aqara and HomeKit, but I'm only running HomeKit with direct internet access to the camera blocked. I want to have a camera that tracks movements and […]

I have had a fully automated home for a decade. I used HomeSeer and HomeAssistant running on Linux. My systems were X10 to start, but then Zwave and Zigbee.

I have several Kasa Smart switches and sockets in the house and they have been working perfectly for a year. My dog ​​knocked over my router and broke it, so Spectrum sent me a replacement. Before replacing the router I never had any problems. With the new router, the devices connect, but after five or […]

I received the 8-digit homekit number. I removed it from the Meross app and the Home app. I've made sure I'm on the 2.4Ghz network.

Hi everyone, sorry if this is a stupid question. But we just moved into a new house that already has this doorbell installed. I haven't been able to find clear information on how to access them, only information on how to add a new installation. The bell is firmly attached to the house, so I […]

Hi, I have a couple of homepods and airplay (sonos) speakers and I'm trying to run an automation in the middle of the night to adjust the volume of each speaker to the volume I want, so in the morning when it runs "radio scene" automatically, these are evenly synchronized. For this I use a […]

Hello everyone! I've had Hue lights for years, but noticed (maybe with iOS 17?) that they don't respond as much through HomeKit. Examples: 1. Automations. I love coming home to the red house at night. Some of the lights will be set to different colors (which honestly hurts my eyes) 2. If I manually, or […]

"No response" in HomeKit I just restarted my hubs, wifi, phone and nest. That got them working in HomeKit for about 5 minutes and now it says "No response" again. Any ideas on what's not going on here? I have two thermostats and both do it, so I don't think it's the device

Hello everyone. I'm about to move into a new house and I'm wondering what are the best practices for doing so. I will keep my router with the same SSID and my APs. Is it better to pack up my labeled stuff so I can install it in the right location in the new house, […]

It sure looks like I wiped my entire house with the MyQ app. I was setting up my MyQ hub with the MyQ app. Is this possible, or rather SHOULD it be possible? It doesn't look very "Apple". We moved over a year ago and I finally decided to try to redo it because the […]

I don't want HomeKey sitting among my credit cards. I wouldn't mind it being in the passes section, but I don't think it makes sense to have it sitting among my payment methods and it just seems weird. Is there a way to hide or remove it on my iPhone without deleting the lock or […]

I'm interested in installing outdoor security cameras and was wondering what would be a reliable way to go between the Ring and Nest ecosystems.
