Hi all, Homekit seems to only show me the last week's records, any idea what I'm doing wrong? The devices are all Eufy Cam 2 Pro via Eufy Homebase. I have 200GB of icloud storage The eufy app itself has events since February last year.

* Recently changed internet providers and got a new router. * My Smart Things Hub is connected to power and to the router with an ethernet cable, and the LED is solid green. * Lock is a Schlage Connect Touchscreen with Alarm (model BE469NX) * Walked through the steps to put the ST Hub into […]

I currently have a Ring camera, but it doesn't work with HK. Is there an alternative that installs in the viewfinder and connects with HomeKit?

Hi All, I recently moved into a house that has two separate garage doors, one with an old school Liftmaster and one with a newer Chamberlain model. There is a very old looking keypad attached to the Liftmaster garage door. I would like to upgrade both garage doors to smart openers and ended up with […]

They all require a Lutron hub to work with HomeKit, right? Won't they work with a HomePod as a hub?

What is the best home door lock.

What does the title say? I can't find a difference and wonder if there is one. Strange to have different prices for the same product if that's the case.

Has anyone figured out how to set up a Leviton switch as a fan after the Matter update? I had some switches set up as fans before I upgraded to the Matter firmware. After the update, this is no longer possible.

I tried everything. 😢

I've looked and looked but can't seem to find anything for it, but basically I'm after a pair of adjustable light switches to control a ceiling light. (Two switches are on either side of the room, so if I turn it on on one side of the room, I can turn it off on the […]

I have a lightning mirror and I want it to be smart so I can turn it on and off with a presence sensor. But I also want the button on the mirror to work (just in case). Is there any way to do this?

I currently have a few Kasa switches integrated into HK via Home Assistant. I'm thinking of trying to remove home assistant entirely and just use HK. I recently saw that Kasa now has HK compatible switches and they are much more affordable than the Lutron Caseta switches. Does anyone have any advice on which switch […]

I can't figure this problem out. Apple Home Hub, quite a few hue devices. Two Apple TVs. One connected via ethernet, the other via wifi. Every week or two I open Apple Home and all the devices show up as unresponsive. Everything is connected, if I use the manufacturer's app (Hue/Lightspeed etc) the device is […]

I built a HomeKit-compatible automatic tea maker (using an instant water cooker and a SwitchBot)

I was *very* happy with my SEP. Rarely is it not answered at random. But when there's a known Thread "outage", possibly due to a HomePod mini (which isn't the main hub) restarting or an Eve Energy being disconnected, which the Schlage was probably going through, it seems to struggle to reconnect itself. . After […]

Does anyone know what the official answer from Apple is for this: Why can't I organize the Home UI by area? Do you have cameras under the area then? Every home automation tool I know is organized like this?!! So hard to find things without this hierarchy. Also: Why aren't room zones and objects for […]

For the life of me, I can't figure out how to get home to stop notifying me when someone is home. I pulled out my home camera and read. I've checked my HomeKit location settings, restarted my phone multiple times...nothing works. Does anyone know how to stop notifications when someone is home? I am about […]

Hello, I have a Philips Hue Bridge connected to smart plugs from osram via zigbee. In the Hue app I can find and control them, but when I go to the Home app. I'll find any other lamp I have, but the ones in the sockets won't show up. Any suggestions?

Somehow a user's location in Home (administrator) is not available, even though: * Settings --> Privacy & Security --> Location Services --> Home --> On * Settings --> Privacy & Security -- > Services Location --> System Services --> --> HomeKit --> Enabled And this is done for all devices using this Apple ID. What […]

I have some semi-complicated nested if/then statements in homekit, and I feel that the more complex it is, the more likely the automation will fail. I was thinking of switching to Homey Pro or Home Assistant and then switching to homekit. Use homekit for UI and Siri and then Homey/Home Assistant for automations. But I […]

Hey, we have the outdoor room tonight. I really like the feature of having light when people arrive when it's dark. But I don't really understand if the camera works according to the eve app or the home app settings.

Since the new HomeKit architecture update, every time I open the Home app, it will show the current state of the devices for a split second before returning to the state they were in the last time I used the app. Force closing the app and reopening it fixes things. It seems that the iPhone […]

Hi all, I'm trying to set up my Apple TV to work with HomeKit, for example to use the HomePod as speakers. Unfortunately, for some reason my phone doesn't make the necessary pairing once you select Airplay and HomeKit from the Apple TV menu. Tried signing in and out, factory reset both phone and iPad […]

Hello, I recently bought the Eve outdoor camera and it works flawlessly (unlike the Netatmo outdoor camera). I live in an area that gets quite a lot of rain so I wonder if this could be a big problem? I don't have anything on top to protect it from the rain (though I'm thinking of […]

So I looked at Caseta, but now that I've taken a walk through of our new build, I'm kind of at a loss as to how to make these smart light switches. Any idea? Or can I just stick 3 cassettes on it?

I just got a Nanoleaf essentials matter smart bulb hoping to have a widget on my phone to turn it on and off. Then I realized I needed a Home hub and spent an hour with Apple support to downgrade HomeKit to the old architecture so I could use my iPad. Now it says I […]

Night light with motion sensor and built-in light sensor in 3rd reality, which changes smart color, is unresponsive whenever I pick it up and quickly restore the power, and sometimes it fails to return to normal if I don't reset the device, how to fix ?

Hi All, ***TL;DR Version:*** How do I set up an automation involving Aqara water leak sensors? They don't seem to appear when creating a sensor automation in the Home app... ***Long version:*** Not sure if this is a HomeKit question and/or a Hubitat question, but I thought I'd try here first as hopefully there are […]

Hi all, I have a Shlage Sense installed and when I first installed it, it would connect to the Shlage app (and integrate into the Home app) perfectly. Had to get a replacement (under warranty) after about a year and when I replaced it I never bothered to log in via the Schlage app as […]

And not the thermos of the eve

I've recently started having issues with all my HomePod Minis showing either a "No Response" or "Wi-Fi Network" error. This made all my connected devices unusable. I tried the following to fix this: * turn off Wi-Fi for 5 minutes and turn it back on; * restart HomePods; * remove HomePod from my home and […]

I moved into a new house a few years ago and slowly made it smarter through the Apple Home ecosystem. The house has three thermostats that need to be changed. The central thermostat is a 1990s era Honeywell and has a programmable basic schedule. It controls AC for the whole house and heating for one […]

Google Nest is canceling its Secure product and backend. This security alarm has integration with the Nest ecosystem. One important feature was that when you arm the alarm with the keypad, it puts the house into Away mode instantly, which in turn puts the thermostat into Eco mode instead of waiting around 30 minutes for […]
