I have a GoControl Z-wave garage door controller controlled by a Wink hub. Does anyone know if there is a HomeKit hub that can manage GoControl so I can retract the Wink hub?

I am an entire Apple home. Locks, camera, lights, TV, automations, shortcuts ... everything is automated. We use "hey Siri" but have to trust that our phones or iPads are around us. Devices like google home or echo are cheaper hubs that we could put one in each room. Is there any use of them […]

At one point in the day, I noticed that my kitchen lights were not switching off - I had an automation with a shortcut set up so the lights go off if there was no movement in the kitchen for 3 minutes in a row. So after some troubleshooting, it turns out that all (at […]

Thermostat works fine with the Sensi app, but I can't add it to the HomeKit app. I'm connected to 2.4 GHz wi-fi, tried to read the code and enter it manually, but it just doesn't show up! Small wheels in the upper right corner rotate and that's all I have. I tried resetting the thermometer […]

I was terribly excited when they announced HomeKit for TVs I read a little about (feature list found) (https://www.idownloadblog.com/2019/01/11/homekit-for-tv-features/ ) with lots of possible controls, so it also helped me pull the trigger to get a LG TV from 2019. To my great dismay, the remote control found at the iPhone Control Center couldn't be […]

Have been following this Apple HomeKit channel on homekit.blog for a while now. I have to say that Apple HomeKit seems to me to be very complicated and has many connectivity issues, etc. Am I right, or is it easier than it looks?

So I can't figure it out. Before ios13, this worked fine. Now my scenes are behaving strangely, and Siri thinks my sleep schedule is opposite to what it actually is. I have a HomePod and AppleTV. I think the HomePod is the most important hub. I have a scene called Good Night, which I believe […]

Compatibility with Zigbee 3 and Bluetooth devices announced. Has anyone seen an official list of compatibilities? (Like will it work with the Mi camera or Mi smart dimmer?) (https://homekit.blog/2019/12/11/pre-orders-start-for-new-homekit-enabled-mi-hub/)(https://homekit.blog/2019/12/11/pre -orders-start for new-homekit-enabled-mi-hub /)

Wait ... how many lights are on?

Hi everyone, recently I bought two Hue Impress outdoor lamps. It came with a Hue outdoor sensor. It is quite convenient to trigger the lights, but I also thought to use it as a trigger for my blinds. Can I create an automation like After sunrise, temp above 18C and Lux ​​like (the sun shining) […]

Already sent for feedback, but if others think this would be a good addition, you can also submit feedback :] Admittedly, I have plenty of "rooms" in the home app, which makes you swipe to go to a room and do something about a job or touch the room list icon that needs two hands […]

I have found a solution for my slow response to HomeKit / HomePod. Simple really. I've turned on & # 39; Listen to Siri & # 39; on my iPhone, Mac and Apple Watch. Now I get almost instant responses from my HomePod. I figure I will never use Siri on my Watch Mac or […]

I have 2 Schlage Sense HomeKit enabled smart locks that use Bluetooth to connect to HomeKit. They are not the biggest, but I will not replace them. They both happen to be near TVs, but are far enough apart that a single AppleTV on both TV locations cannot reach both locks. If I buy another […]

3 times this week my Gen 4 Apple TV accidentally crashed completely (as opposed to sleeping.) The power in my house has not been interrupted and this has happened with the latest and current version of tvOS. Installing the latest update did not resolve the issue. Does anyone else have any problem with this?

Does anyone have an IR-based device that works with HomeKit? I will be able to turn my projector off via HomeKit.

Anyone know if there is a way to turn on and off heating (to my preset temp @ 70F) with the Ecobee in the Home + app without going into the menus (ie tap the tile, then "measure the heating mode of cooling" and scroll to "heat" ") every time?

I wanted to create something so the door locked when the door closed, but it didn't seem to work. The sensor is in the HomeKit and detects correctly, but the door does not lock. Is it because my HomeKit hub is not within Bluetooth range of the door lock? Is it important if my phone […]

I and many others have problems with shortcut machines since tvOS 13.3. After installing a test HomePod in my home, which then got the update to 13.3, I can confirm that these automations work on HomePod iOS 13.3. I run about 75 shortcut machines including motion, contact and time based, some of them quite complicated […]

I currently have two LIFX bulbs in my bedroom and I would love for them to fade from 0-100% in half an hour. Currently, I just have a lot of automations set to turn on the lights in increments of 5% every few minutes. This works, but it's blatantly clumsy, and if I have to […]

Hi, after Apple posted watchOS 6.1 homekit on this watch-show device grouped. Example Eve Room: I only see the icon and can't go in to see the temperature and other ... is there anything I can do to change it? On the iPhone, I can choose show separately, but on the Apple Watch, I can't. […]

EDIT: Looks like a lot of other people have the problem I describe below when using Apple TV with tvOS 13.3 as a hub (apparently HomePod works okay). From other posts, I gather that this issue was reported as a bug back when tvOS 13.3 was a beta. Ranting doesn't matter, but Apple's pre-release test […]

I use more than a year 11 Tado thermostat valves in my house and using the Tado app works just fine, but with HomeKit it's a different story: after some time (days / weeks) the radiator valves have a & # 39; No Answer & # 39; message (not 100% sure of the translation & […]

Last night I went to bed and turned off my lights using the Home app as usual. Today I opened the Home app on my phone and the "welcome" screen came up. I dismissed it and saw that none of my accessories were present and my home setup was gone. I can access my home […]

I have 4 wemo mini connectors and only one of them does not turn on or off during the favorite setting, but turns on and off just fine if I go into rooms. Why is it?

I was just able to update the Eufy Security app with the HomeKit compatibility from the App Store. It requires a HomeBase 2 firmware version of 2.0.5.0+. The setup was hassle free for me.

TL / DR: leaked mDNS requests were mixed out on the Internet as requested by several homekit-related entities. After enabling the optional dnsmasq DHCP server on my USG router with the "Enable Hostfile Update" option as well, the USG DNS server now serves the * * local DNS request that used to fail. I think […]

HomeKit life was good for a few days ... Now back in hell update.

So I just got a circle 2 and upgraded it to the firmware that supports homekit secure video. But I just got to thinking, how would Logitech ever release an update to * that * firmware? The camera no longer appears in the Logitech app, so I don't see a way to apply another update […]

Everything was normal today. Have actually had a relatively solid homekit experience recently. Out of the blue, I noticed that one of my motion scenes didn't trigger. Come to find out that almost all hubless devices have disappeared from my homekit (including the scenes). It also grouped tint. I know I know what I'm doing […]

I'm going to replace my aging router with a Netgear AC2200 RBK23 system. Is there still a 2.4/5 problem for some HomeKit devices, or is it fixed? There apparently was a way to manually split 2.4 out of 5, but is it still necessary? (I have several Leviton dampers that would be exposed to the […]

# Good things * New accessories icons! It's about time, but still they are not enough. * HomeKit Secure Video is a gift. Finally, I am so close to just using an app. The UI is very easy to use and your recorded videos load fairly quickly. * AirPlay 2 automations just make life feel […]

When you disconnect Apple TV 4k as a hub and only leave my 13.3 Homepod, the homekit advanced automation works again.

I can go months with homekit that works well. Then all of a sudden, without any network change, everything goes "no response" when given remote access. The interesting part is that everything works well, even remotely, through my Alexa app as well as manufacturing the particular device app. My question is what's wrong or what […]
