Did anything change with thermostat control?

My HomeKit thermostat (Lennox S30) has always used an indefinite stay if I made the change via HomeKit, the same with my ecobee if I remember correctly. But today I just noticed that while changing the temp in the home app resulted in the usual indefinite hold, a change via Siri was standard to "hold […]

So about 80% of my automations were simply deleted while I was sleeping tonight

When the hell is apple, finally want to step up their game when it comes to reliability? I have always been an early adopter, but all this bs combined with the arch-rooted mess that is literally every single apple software release since September, I start to take a long time before updating anything from now […]

So I went into it today after I picked up a homepod and it asks me to set up Siri. I clicked on the little Home icon and noticed that I have 3 "temp homes" and some random numbers. Wondering how to reset my entire app and start over as I have all these temporary […]

Which company should use HomeKit, but isn't it?

What could be the next big thing for HK? Would HK on robotic lawnmowers be of any help, maybe they could have some earth and weather futures built into them ... I have no idea, just wondering where HK can go.

"Normal" 3-way dimmer switch

I have tried to find a 3-way dimmer switch that I can use with the homekit but have not been able to find one. In my current & # 39; non-smart & # 39; setup for this circuit I have 2 non-dimming rocker switches and 1 damper switch. Ideally, I'd just like to replace the […]

Television clarification: Airplay -v- Homekit

I'm trying to understand which TVs (OLED for me) are Homekit compatible. So many listings, including Apple's, seem to use airplay and Homekit about each other. I followed the links to Sony's site and they may not have updated the 2019 models. They still just say Android.

Why is this so awful? It's so bad, considering that it worked very well on iOS 12. This is just a single topic, and there are plenty of others around this area.

Siri doesn't work when I use Chromecast

I have a set that has a Vizio TV with built-in Chromecast and uses my iphone to cast YouTube on it. Often, when I play music this way, "hey siri" doesn't work properly. The phone listens for a few seconds and stops, instead of listening to the whole sentence. I tried tuning music through Airplay, […]

Goodbye Insignia - Sort Of ...

So, I know the light switches still work because they bind directly into HoneKit, but they've all just started to flash their little green lights, and that's very distracting. I have already tried to reset the factory. I added HoneKit fine again, but it still flashes. Any suggestions?

Looking to get a HomeKit activated deadbolt for my back door. From a little bit of research, it seems the Schlage sense or the intelligent lock in August is the way to go. Am I missing one? But what I’m really interested in doing is getting CarPlay in iOS 13 to give me a geofence […]

Apple Mesh

I would very much like to see Apple invest in producing their own wifi mesh system. The router can be HomeKit enabled and they can even borrow from GoogleNest wifi to place a mini HomePod in each node. Just see a huge potential for HomeKit if they ever went this route.
