I just received a HomePod and can't seem to discover shortcut automation. When I select HomePod in an if statement, it returns nothing. I try to set a HomeKit button to play or pause the HomePod based on whether it is currently playing or paused. Any idea?

Yale Assure Lock SL - Smart Keypad with Touch Screen Keyboard - Works with Apple HomeKit and Siri (YRD256iM1619) in satin nickel

Is this how a thermostat should work in HomeKit? It already has 21 degrees, but still sets it to 21 degrees automatically? It's homebridge so maybe I did something wrong.

Do you have any way to receive them in the HomeKit app? Is there a hardware or software bridge? Thanks

Do you have any good wallpapers for the homekit app? The surprised app has only 2 styles wallpapers.

I bought my first and only bluetooth accessory about 2 months ago, the door sensor from Elgato. I have always tried Bluetooth devices in the home connection to the nearest hub, in my case Apple TV 4k. The range may be a problem with Bluetooth, I knew, but it's only 4-5 meters and in clear […]

Most of you with an Ecobee thermostat probably know that it does not allow independent control of the HVAC fan in HomeKit. I found a problem using the Home + app and the DummySwitch plugin for Homebridge. The Home + app allows you to change the fan status between on and off. This status change […]

My iDevices Outdoor switch shows "Unanswered" when I'm away from home or off Wi-Fi. Currently, I use AppleTV 4K as a hub, but it is wired. So, I guess AppleTV controls the switch when I'm away from home it has to be on the same WiFi network as the iDevices switch instead of hardwired. Is […]

I have a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor. I would like to automate things based on them, but the sensor automation is closed. I have a fourth Apple TV that acts as a hub for my home, so I should be good to use all the automation, right? None of the other triggers are […]

At one point, Siri on my phone stopped being able to play music in a room. This is only the case in rooms where the Airplay lens is an Apple TV. For example, I have an Airport Express in the kitchen and I can say, "Hey Siri, play music in the kitchen" and start playing […]

Things heat up a little at the front door.

Now that omekit is open source, does anyone know how to use the Xiaomi smartmi 2s fan with the homekit app? I tried to use it with homebridge forever and I didn't find a plugin / it would work. I'm desperate

He just raised the children's room now to replace the Yi room in the nursery. After being added to HomeKit I was disappointed to find out the following: - Only one device in a row can stream video to HomeKit. If my wife checks the child in the Home application and tries to do the […]

I have an olg lg c9 from 2019 and I can't connect my iPhone to it. Although the TV recognizes and believes the phone is connected through the house, the phone says it has failed to connect. LG said everything was fine and Apple ran a process through the engineering department and they said it […]

Hello everyone, I have some problems with setting up my home WIFI. I had a Netgear R6400v2 router and replaced it with a new WIFI6 AX8 nighthawk a few days ago, the reason I purchased the new router is because of the signal I received from the R6400 is pretty bad because my bedroom is […]

I allowed Siri to work when my iPad and iPhone are locked (Settings -> Face ID / Access Code). Used to operate when the device is locked to request the status of HomeKit devices, such as "What is the home temperature?". Now, I received an error that says: `you will need to set up a […]

Looking for advice in this regard, I read a handful of threads, but all are quite outdated. This is practically the norm now - I can say that 99% of the time I cannot access the house remotely. The following devices are installed and all connected to the same iCloud with Homekit set to Connected […]

I hope this helps others ....... Powerful homekit user with over 50 devices, but not very experienced. ISP is currently on spectrum and pays 400mb and uses their modem and router. The frequencies always seemed good, and WiFi coverage was not a problem in the yard either, but like many other devices they did not […]

I want to get to a smart home and there are so many things to get, so what are yours?

Hi all, I have several motion sensors that protect the nest using Homekit and I would like to leave smart when no movement is detected. I used homebridge occupancy delay and it works great, but requires two additional automations per sensor (so four in total). I also tried the Eve application with conditions and, while […]

LiFX switch shipping in January - Nothing HomeKit?

This is really just an observation with a hint of a question. You may have seen that Apple recently broke HomeKit Automations using shortcuts with the latest tvOS update (13.3). No need to go further here about what a stupid PITA this has become when your not insignificant investment in very expensive HomeKit automation suddenly […]

My Wemo switches are almost always in the wrong state. Make Homekit commands useless. Eg. Homekit always thinks the lights are off when turned on. So if I ask Siri to turn off the lights, she says the lights are off, even if they are not. Homekit does not appear to update status. If I […]

I have a time automation for my outdoor Christmas lights not to run. I have tried both sunset-based and definitely time-based. It turns on my outdoor socket and dims my porch light. I have tried to do this in iOS (Home.app) (https://Home.app) and the Home app (now Home +). I have tried to use a […]

Amazon, Apple, Google and Zigbee are teaming up on an open smart home standard

I've seen a few similar posts, but none seem quite the same as what I see, so I thought a new post would be wise. I have several light groups together in an automation that should turn them on at. 6:30 every morning. The lights are just standard LED bulbs and the lamps are connected […]

Thanks to the discussion here, I have become aware of the SimpliCuts shortcut that can control the SimpliSafe alarm system. I'm about to divide the main shortcut into three - one for each alarm condition - at home, away and off. Can anyone please help me understand how to call these shortcuts from a scene? […]

Hello everyone, I try to turn off lights when there is no movement. But this simple org is over aggressive and turns off the lights when you're just standing still. So I would like a solution using HomeKit and shortcuts that can turn off the lights if the motion sensor does not defect motion for […]

I have an Aqara motion sensor that I can hope to use as a sensor for any movement. & # X200B; I have tried to wave objects in front of it and it does not trigger at all. & # X200B; It seems to record only human movements. & # X200B; Is there a motion […]

Hi, I have been using a HomeKit shortcut for about a month or two where if my vacuum cleaner (Xiaomi through HomeBridge) has not already started, will start cleaning when the last person has left home and depending on the result of the if statement, shoot a message to my phone using the Pushover API.
