It seems every time I open HomeKit it takes about ten seconds for all my lutron lights to update. Then it works without delay when I turn something on or off. Connected via 4K TV and some iPads as backups. Lutron ra2. Lutron bridge. WiFi is strong throughout the house. Any suggestions!!?

It's that time of year. My parents have HomeKit in their house and I wonder how to set it so certain scenes only come on between two dates. They have several items in their house that are set up year-round but do not want them to come year-round.

I recently purchased a few homekit switches from leviton and few of these boxes were open in the store. My question is, if I use these boxes, is there any way to get my switches hacked, like someone copied the QR code? Can they be added over the internet using QR code? Thanks.

I wonder if it's possible to create an automation that does something when an AppleTV or HomePod plays something.

Hi, due to the HomeKit "black screen issue" app in iOS 13.2, I had to upgrade to the public Beta 13.3 (17C5023d) and the black screen no longer appears. But the problem now is that most homekit shortcut machines no longer run! Was the fix just to not let them run ?? For example: When […]

I have two HomePods that act as nodes for my home. I decided to put both HomePods on my "devices" Wifi network with all my Homekit devices. I have isolated this network because I suspect every device I use is not very secure and more susceptible to hacking. For a while, I thought I had […]

Has anyone had problems with their Phillips Hue Go just accidentally turned off. It will do so at intermittent times. Sometimes after being turned on for 10-15 minutes, sometimes after 45 minutes or longer, but it will eventually shut itself down. It will do so regardless of whether it is plugged in or operating on […]

I recently got the Eve Room sensor and noticed that it only seems to create triggers for Automations in the iOS Home app based on air quality but not temperature or humidity. Is this a restriction on Eve or Apple's Homekit APIs? I also noticed that I cannot configure push notification alerts for any of […]

Ecobee Switch + no longer promising temperature sensor

Has anyone figured out a good, reliable, [relatively] inexpensive, large touch screen controller that I could use for a HomeKit main room console? I would very much like a 12.9 ”iPad Pro, but can't justify $ 1 $ for sitting and running a non-intensive app. I would love something that I could run through PoE […]

I would like to use the Eve app to make some more advanced automations for my Hue lights, but I am having trouble configuring them for day / night use. I'm trying to create a simple automation like this: - Trigger: movement detected in the living room - Conditions: - The time is after sunrise […]

Hello everyone, I'm just asking here, who uses shade lights / dimmers / sensors clean in HomeKit (with devices in the Hue app as & # 39; not configured & # 39;), how many bulbs do people have, and how many dimmers / sensors? I have the following 21 candles / bulbs 2 inner joint […]

I've tried restarting it, adding and re-activating "recognize my voice" under the home app, turning off and turning on Siri, and everything else I can think of ..... anyone successful with this? Begins to really annoy me!

Does anyone know how to connect a two-button KTNNKG ZigBee switch to a domestic one? I can't figure out what brand I need to install to make this work. Thanks for all the help.

“No Answer” appears on the cell network. Do you have any suggestions for resolving this? I got this issue after updating to iOS 13.2.2 on iPhone X.

I have some automations running when the last person is traveling, or only if someone is home that is not working as expected. Looks like they think a phantom person is in my house. How can I troubleshoot this issue? Apple does not appear to provide any way to determine this information

I've set up an automation when my kids leave home, it sets a scene for the upstairs lights (the scene turns off 3 dimmers), turns off the lights in the hallway and across the breakfast table, and locks the front door. The automation is set to run only between 7am and 9am. My kids travel […]

We have been wondering why a fan to whom we have connected a swab switch has been on a random morning and it seems that the outlet / switch unit is triggered when we say "master bedroom" for some reason . Our bedroom is a Lutron caseta switch and the only item in our "bedroom" […]

Since the latest software release, my Apple TV is stuck on standby when I check the home app and hubs. No automation works as Home thinks my hub (ATV) is disconnected. I've tried restarting, logging in / out from iCloud. But still no luck.

So my current house is a (alarm.com) (https://alarm.com) z-wave based system. We're moving into a new place and starting with a clean slate - and I think I'll use Homekit for everything. I want to do security system, lights, cameras and music. For music, I would also create a multi-room audio system using something like […]

I have had various HomeKit issues which I will describe in another post. But what I'm trying to do right now is create another home for troubleshooting. I have two Apple TV's in my original home, and decided to set up my HomePod in a separate home that I created on a separate WiFi network, […]

Does anyone know what I can do to improve the delay on my evening? Currently, I have all three options in use for testing. One tap: Running shortcut (If my night lights are on, turn it off. If off, turn it on.) Double tap: Running shortcut (If my ceiling lights are on, turn off. If […]

HI! I have used "HOME +" to create two temperature-based automations designed to control a smart plug. The temp sensor is an iHome iSS50, it reports well at all points without any problems. (Https://www.ihomeaudio.com/iSS50/)(https://www.ihomeaudio.com/iSS50/) The smart connector is an iHome iSP6X that appears to have no problems controlled by other automations. (Https://www.ihomeaudio.com/isp6x/)(https://www.ihomeaudio.com/isp6x/) First automation is […]

I have a couple of HomeKit devices that supposedly have humidity sensors in them, and report humidity to the Home app. I have: ID units thermostat Onvis Multi Sensor VOCOlinc Flowerbud My problem: All three report different humidity assessments, I tested it by placing them all close to each other (within a few meters) and […]

The only solution was a slidable hardware accelerator in my router from my ISP. And set all WiFi devices to have static IP's. Now, the homeapp and devices are 100% stable when I'm away or at home. Very strange. Is there anyone else with the same experience?

I vaguely fantasize about changing all my down stairs so I can control their temperature. I don't think I'm interested in green, blue, purple type colors, but I want "cool" 6500K to "warm" 2700K range, so in the morning and day when the weather is cloudy and yucky I can have " daylight ”temperatures and […]

PSA: Anyone thinking of getting the new Hue Smart button, be aware that it only supports one action on HomeKit as far as I can tell - just a single click. No double or long press.

It has been three years with HomeKit, and there is not much improvement per year. Year. If I have a Hue sensor to detect movement in my bedroom and have the automation to turn on all the lights, why can't Apple use its own data to add even more customization to automations? Hood sensors indicate […]

Lighting the living room Turns on all the lights - really? Just disappointed. Woke up my newborn and now I have to pay for it all night 🙁
