I have a couple of Eve Energy connectors that are only used as energy monitors and should never be turned off. Is there any way to "lock" them so they don't turn off accidentally? I have moved them to my "Logic" room, so that the controls throughout the room, such as. "Hey Siri, turn off […]

Can you get Siri to read text in automated homekit? Do you like TTS (text to speech)? You can do this easily in shortcuts. What I want to do here is when the garden door is open, Siri will announce “Garden door is open!” Through HomePod. If you try to use an audio file and […]

This happens when the alarm is triggered. Aqara hub with Aqara door sensors as trigger, Yeelight light strips and HomePod as speaker playing Steel on Steel (Skyrim). Flashing was only possible with advanced automations. I hope it scares some intruders!

Hey guys, Since iOS 13, I found it so blunt that you had no way to separate the tiles for a multi-meter sensor (humidity, temperature). This also meant (at least to me) that on my Apple Watch I can't access any of these sensors as they don't perform any action I click on them and […]

The Home app has stopped loading for me. Just tapping the app icon opens a dark background that shows nothing, and then it crashes to the iOS home screen after about twenty seconds. Has anyone seen this before? I don't know how to get it back. Restarting the phone has not helped. I'm 13.2.

Change tint with nfc tag

Hi Is it possible to use Apple TV which is paused as a trigger. I would love it if my lights were on when it was paused. Some ideas ? Cheers

Hello everyone, Maybe someone is interested in Homekit enabled security system with push notifications etc. As always, my binary bridges work without bridges. It's easy to build it, even if you don't know anything about DIY. You can use Your Home Kit's existing devices, motion / switch, and other sensors to trigger alarms and even […]

Was so happy to see that you can now include music with scenes ... I'd like to create a scene that turns off all the lights and plays music from HomePods to the dog as I leave the house. This works fine except for a problem. The scene doesn't let me keep the Apple TVs […]

Hello everyone, I will turn off a power outlet 90 minutes after it turns on. This must be done, whether it is switched on as part of an automation, in response to a direct command, or manually (when someone presses the button on the socket). I know I could do it this way: `` When: […]

Hello everyone. Had a great scare tonight when I returned home with both the dog door and the fence gate open. Apparently I left the gate by accident when I left. Fortunately, the sleepy puppy was still asleep on the couch. To prevent this from happening again, I would like to put a contact sensor […]

Since AppleTV is made into my home hub, if my iPhone is connected to the WiFi network, if I try to place a voice call on the speaker, I get a dialog asking if I want it on my regular phone speaker, on the speakerphone speaker, on my MacBook or AppleTV. I would never want […]

What kind of salary? - I'm really starting to get discouraged by Homekit. Maybe there is a way to prevent this from happening? Homekit * constantly changes * its behavior. I use a Homepod as the most important control system in our home, and it gets 99% of the Homekit commands we issue around the […]

I've almost given up hope that Kwikset will solve the problems with their Premis app in iOS 13.x, so I'm researching options to replace my Premis Locks. Does anyone have a recommendation for a HomeKit smart lock that has a keypad and works reliably both inside and outside the house? I know that August, Schlage […]

So initially in the iOS 13 beta, if I say, set my good night scene, if Apple TV played something, it would pause (since there is no turn on the TV's feature for automation yet ...), but if Apple TV was already off nothing would change. Now, every time I set up good night or […]

Is anyone looking forward to upgrading their routers? I definitely take this seriously. The new Linksys Velop already supports WiFi6 - but I keep getting one until they enable HomeKit on it.

Ask Siri to turn on / off more than one light at a time

Ever since I updated to iOS 13, the automation section of my iPhone won't let me create or edit automations. I can on my Mac, but it's not always practical. My HomeKit is set to Phillips Hue lights.

My Apple TV 4K shows “No Response” in the Apple Home app. I have updated to tvOS 13.2. I also reset Apple TV. I use a screen to restore all my apps. After doing so, my Home app showed “No Response” again. Does anyone else have this problem?

Ecobee thermostat doesn't work, app works

Is there a way to add these to HomeKit? I have 4 gocontrol door sensors and motion sensors paired to flash and then use Homebridge to add them to HomeKit. Can I use the ikea hub (which I have) or the Phillips hub hub to add them to HomeKit so I can get rid of […]

I want my new Apple TV 4K to function as a home market. I've created two-factor authentication, I've already added a HomeKit accessory to my Home app on iPhone, logged into the same iCloud account. But HomeKit doesn't show up in ATV users / iCloud settings, and when I click on the ATV in the […]

I have an installation on AppleTV4 / Cloud with tvOS 12.3. This installation has multiple Eve devices (BLE) and Ecobee (WiFi). Auto updates are turned off on tvOS. Suddenly, the Eve automations (power switch on / off) stopped working. In the Home app, the switch also switches when trying to change its state (which of […]

Wemo Phantom Duplicate without response

I create very basic "if" conditions for my Hue Tap switches and Hue Motion sensors using shortcuts. For example, "if the bedroom's corner light is off, set the bedroom in the bedroom, or else turn off the bedroom." This only works sometimes and I have to set a wait at the end because it is […]

I've created a simple homekit automation: Turn on Light X at 5am. Turn it off 30 minutes later. Everything works and responds. Homepod is on, works and responsive, lifx light works and responsive, wifi works. Both before and after time, the work automation was supposed to work on when it was tested. Every apple product […]

using homekit automation, I've been trying to get NPR to play when I leave to keep my puppy trained ... it's always standard for my personal music instead, but is set to NPR in the home app. another mistake? anyone experiencing the same problem? 100% reproducible. all hubs and devices in 13.2 but had this […]

How do you go about turning off the lights controlled by motion sensors? I found that the built-in "turn off after X minutes" feature is defective for several reasons: - problematic if multiple sensors turn on the same light (the first sensor turns off the light X minutes after motion detection, even though the second […]

HomePod automation often plays last played song instead of song / file specified by automation - anyone having this problem?

I have searched but have not really found anything for a backyard pond. I reckon some can be done with automations, but I can't find the accessories. Here's what I'm looking for 1. An underwater thermometer that shows me the water temperature on my phone. I can use this to know when to stop feeding […]

Did anyone make any interesting automations via the Advanced Shortcut tab of the Home App?

Hi, I'm getting a little nuts with my Aqara devices. The entire home is equipped with switches that work well through HomeKit without a server connection. My problem comes when I want to send an order from a wireless switch to turn on a switch if it is off and off if it is on, […]

Is there any way I can retrofit a Hampton Bay fan with a HomeKit fan controller (? Lutron Caseta)?
