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)?
As you could guess with the title, I want a way to have two home nodes (one upstairs and downstairs). I don't care if it's an Apple TV, HomePod or an iPad, I just need two nodes because of the white my house is designed. My house is an old 1920's house with thick cement […]
Like really why can't I have personalized Siri, so when I say turn off my bedroom, she knows which bedroom is mine. You may also want to control your lights from the control center to add them to favorites, but now every home member has them. But do you know what doesn't sync? Wallpapers, even […]
I have 4 people in my family. My wife and my oldest daughter have not received invitations. My youngest daughter cannot receive the invitation. All settings appear to be the same as other family members. I've lost track of what to do. Please help
I'm not sure if I'm doing anything wrong, but I can't make this automation work. In the evening: Humidity sensor detects humidity below 20%, electric witch with humidifier plugged in. It's not hard .. circuit breaker works, humidity sensor works, humidifier works. I know in the homekit that I can't activate anything based on humidity, […]
Anyone have First Alert safe and sound? I have 2 Onelink smoke / carbon detectors and 1 S&S, but no matter how many times I pair and reset Home says & # 39; Set up needs & # 39;
I just picked up an Apple TV and grabbed the shortcut "pause Apple TV". How do I configure things to pause the TV, and when possible, the doorbell video / screen will appear on the TV when my doorbell (Call pro via homebridge) is pressed? Right now, my phone and iPad are displaying a message […]
Hi, Sincs ios 13 I'm having trouble accessing homekit products via 4g. It works perfectly on wifi, but on 4g there is no answer. I use Apple TV as a home hub. Anyone with the same problems or solutions?
I have a Honeywell Lyric T6 thermostat with HomeKit support. My thermostat in the Home app has more than no answer. I fixed it by making changes to my router. Since iOS and tvOS 13.2 work, it won't work again. Does anyone have the same problem?
I deleted and added the Aqara hub which had quite a few scenes in HK. I no longer see them listed in HK. But when I create a scene, such as Lights Out, HK pops up with a message that there is an existing scene already.
ever since my hubs got the latest update, my automation scenes are not running consistently, including time based and location based. easily noticed when my shades don't open / close at random. everything runs if I trigger manually ...
So basically, here's what I'm trying to accomplish: & # X200B; I trigger an automation when an accessory is on (a sensor), so when I go to work in the morning, the lights will only turn on for a few minutes, but some mornings when I come down, the light may already be on from […]
My first entry into the smart home arena was probably like most connections and bulbs and then LED strips and eventually turned on the light switches. Right now I have something simple "lights turn on at this time", "lights go off after x minutes", and an actual automation where when after a certain hour in […]
Every time I've used the home app recently, I've noticed that my accessories are constantly updated / unavailable. I caught this in a video: View post on imgur.com I'm currently 13.2 and can't remember having this problem on the 12x. Does anyone else see these problems?
So with iOS 13, there are plenty of ways to integrate Siri shortcuts into home automation. I noticed a very simple shortcut that allows me to turn on my Apple TV and open a specific app. However, for my life, I can't figure out how to incorporate it into a morning machine. All I want […]
Trying to add Vizio to HomeKit, what am I missing?
So I've noticed that this is something that a lot of people need, but for some reason HomeKit doesn't offer anything out of the box. The potential solutions that I saw people use also seem excessive (buying more smart outlets for state savings, running raspberry pie and so on), and I think I found a […]
Update required to add Apple TV to the home scene, even if updated (ATV HD)
The night light on my iDevices connector turns on when I ask Siri to turn on what is plugged in. This began to happen after iOS 13 grouped the devices, but has continued even after iOS 13.2 provided the opportunity to group them. I removed the plug and night light in the settings, but the […]
(https://www.att.com/buy/accessories/streaming-tv/apple-tv-4k-32gb-black.html)(https://www.att.com/buy/accessories/streaming-tv/ apple TV 4k-32gb-black.html) For anyone who wants to get an ATV to use as a hub. You don't have to be an AT&T customer.
Let's say you have an automation to unlock / unlock the door as you leave / arrive at a location, confirm this action every time. Theory: You can use a dummy $ 10 HomeKit light dedicated to controlling your lock. Instead of using the locator for location automation, add the light instead. Then create another […]
What do you think of Apple Home (HomeKit Smart Home)?
Some of my location-based automations don't work. Arrived home works fine, but leaving home (when last person leaves) does not work. Has anyone got suggestions?
For example, I used if scripting for x if my door is open and y when closed. It runs fine, but I have to run it manually. I want the shortcut to run automatically when my door is closed, ie. goes from open to closed state
