My indoor doorbell does not seem to ring when connected to the logi doorbell kit. The Logitech Circle ringer works fine though. What could be the problem? (diagram provided)

Has this ever happened to anyone? So far I have restarted my network and run the software update on my Apple TV. It's been like this for a few days.

Hi everyone, I just set up my base station (4540) and connected it to my HomeKit. I can stream live video pretty quickly (faster than the Arlo app), but it won't detect motion on my Essential cameras. I don't even see an option to enable this. Do I need a hub like Apple TV or […]

I recently set up my Roku TV in the home app via the HomeKit option on the TV; however, in the app under its settings, the entries section is grayed out and won't let me change the name. I have an Apple TV and updated the name under the entries on the TV but it […]

I really don't understand why you have to buy a bridge to connect a Hue bulb (mine is both bluetooth and zigbee) to the Apple Home app?!? If you can add other bluetooth accessories why couldn't you add the Hue bulb via bluetooth? It's so stupid. I only have this light from Philips and I […]

I have an Aqara T2 switch configured to control the gate at home and it is configured as a reject switch in the Aqara app (one press opens, another press stops and a third press closes the gate). This setup is perfect for how my gate works. However, when I integrate the switch with the […]

HomeKit hasn't recorded any video for the past week, I've restarted Home Hubs. Can I try something else?

I'm thinking my need to study so much into this may mean there isn't a way, but hoping someone can prove me wrong. I have a Smartmi P1 purifier for the last 7-8 months now it works well, without hiccups, since the first day. However, today I ran into my first issue where the device […]

Has anyone integrated a kitchen oven into HomeKit?

How does that work for you because I plan to buy them for my yard

I wrote something, but something happened with the homekit.blog app, which took me away from my post. I hate that there are no saved sketches in the app! Anyway, to keep it short, does anyone have experience with all three? I was doing research and I was just overwhelmed. I was looking at Nanit Pro […]

Using Meross that can be paired with HomeKit. I haven't had any problems for a while, but it woke up one day and the app disabled the garage opener button. You pressed the button for 5 seconds, 20 seconds, several times and it just flashes green and light green. I haven't seen the amber yet. […]

I recently bought a house and I see it has a Chamberlain MyQ garage door opener. I haven't seen a hub for it anywhere in the garage or house so I don't think the previous owner had a hub. Now it looks like Chamberlain has dropped HomeKit support, so I'm wondering if I should bother […]

I use kwikset locks in my home. I like the fact that I can quickly and easily press all the locks to the same key. The Apple key locks I forgot are all Schlage based. Any locks compatible with kwikset with the Home key?

Are there smart AC window units that work in HomeKit? My current setup is a smart plug connected to a "dumb" as, but I'd like to do more than just on and off. I want to set scenes with specific temperatures like I can with the heating thermostat.

Hi everyone, you want a more customizable HomeKit experience, automations and accessory controls. Home+ app on the app store around $17 and the controller is $25/year or $100 lifetime, from people who have experienced both or either, which would you recommend? YiA

I am planning to upgrade my front door at home. I can't change the door handle/lock, but I can add a bolt. So I will leave the existing lock unlocked and add a bolt. I need a lock that supports HomeKit and the home key. My research shows three possibilities: - Schlage Encode plus - […]

I have a bunch of scenes for my house that have been working fine for *years* now. For some reason I can no longer use "Bedroom Off" when talking to my HomePod minis (all 5 of them). However, it works just fine when I'm talking to my iPhone or iPad. I deleted the scene and […]

Finally bit the bullet and paid enough iCloud storage for my doorbell cameras to work with HKSV, they wouldn't record no matter what I tried in the settings. All I had to do was restart all my HomePods and AppleTVs 😬 Learn from my mistakes...just restart them all. The hubs are a mix of AppleTVs […]

I'm not sure if I've been living under a rock and never heard the news or if it was a silent release. I discovered today after looking through my rooms that my Lutron Aurora Dimmers are showing up in HomeKit. When I purchased these devices a few years ago, they were only advertised as Friends […]

Hi! I have an old forced air heating system in my new home and would like to install a HomeKit compatible thermostat. I can't seem to find one online though. Additionally, I have an indoor propane fireplace that turns on and off using a thermostat. Is there a HomeKit compatible thermostat I could use for […]

I got a script that shows up as "switch" from home assistant. To only stop/pause the movement of the lid louvers when I run it. I want to make it a button from 3 buttons on the wall (open, close, stop) Anyway - this switch (script) when I press it is "on" then if I […]

I'm looking for an RGB bulb to put in the fan. An A19 bulb is too big and the glass dome will not light again. Do you have anything to do with the HomeKit compatible A15s?

I'm trying to add a member to Apple Home, but since yesterday it's no longer possible. We have a few lamps and no HomePod or anything. Yesterday I updated the setup with some Phillips devices and now there is no option in Apple Home to add a member to my home. Is it the same […]

I just purchased an Onvis Matter over Thread motion sensor/temperature indicator and the device updates correctly when I'm at home, but when I try to see the temperature on my network it just says No Response. Does it count on thread devices not working remotely?

Does anyone have any advice why my home Roku remote only shows inputs and power? Just added it.

Hi all, I'm looking for an automatic shortcut that turns on a WiFi compatible socket when I open the PDC dart scorer app. Basically, I want the light ring attached to my dart board to automatically turn on when I open the marking app.

Has anyone used one of these switches: SONOFF MINIR4M Matter Smart Switch, Universal DIY Module for Smart Home Automation Solution Compatible with Alexa & Google Home Assistant, 1 pack (I can't post a link because I got it on Amazon). My electrician hooked it up with a towel rack (no external switch) but I can't […]

Hi, I'm wondering if there has been an update or if anyone has found a way to control the nest thermostat fan from HomeKit.

A few years ago I remember trying a few HomeKit compatible motion sensors, but they didn't work very well because there was a lag between when it sensed motion and when an automation was executed. Not sure if they have improved in recent years. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good one?

How do I open my gate using HomeKit? I was thinking of just using a WiFi relay but couldn't find one that would work with HomeKit...also would like to implement a sensor to check if it's closed but not necessary...anyone have any ideas?

I have a corded fan without a wall switch, controlled by an integrated motion sensor. I would also like to control it by a humidity sensor. How would I actually accomplish this?

I recently bought a TV thinking that TV+ would be among the compatible apps, but unfortunately I was wrong. However, since the TV is fantastic, I decided to keep it anyway and buy an Apple TV. I would like to take this opportunity to use HomeKit for automations. Currently, I only have Philips Hue products, […]
