I just bought the Schlage Sense deadbolt and got it to add to the Home app, but when I get out of the network I get a "No Response" message. After installing and setting up HomeKit, I immediately updated the lock to the latest firmware (can't remember the exact version number as I am now […]

I have 3 iHome smart connectors. 2 is the iSP6X (Firmware 0.3.10) and one is an iSP5 (firmware 0.9.17). They work wonderfully. But it seems that every day or 2 they lose the connection to Apple's Homekit. Sometimes they stop working after an hour or so. The only way to get them recognized again is […]

New Aqara Hub (And More) On The Horizon?

I wonder ... should I be able to ask my phone or HomePod to play content on my Apple TV's? I can't try these commands to work at all. I'm talking about saying things like "playing games of thrones in the living room" or "playing patriot in the dining room Apple TV."

Grab an isp6x iHome smart plug on Amazon for $ 17. One step closer to not having to leave the couch. Anyone find out "Hey Siri, beer me"?

It does so for both HK and Omna App. I do not know if this is an overheating problem since the camera becomes quite hot. It is interrupted randomly and I can't figure out why. Today it worked fine, but I just checked and the last picture on HK is from at least 3 hours […]

Ikea's smart smart plug-in finally works with Apple's HomeKit

I got up the home app on my iMac and iPhone and immediately noticed that both will try to hit 192.168.0.5 on TCP 7000. I am not running any network out of the 192.168.0.0/16 block. I can see it communicating with my Apple TV hub via TCP 7000 on _correct_ IP, so it appears that […]

I'm an echo user (echo hub), but recently I got a Series 4 Apple Watch and would like to be able to control my smart home through the clock. When I google HomeKit it really only offers products that work with it. I'm just not sure what "it" is! Is it HomePod? Is it a […]

I recently went with my home internet and WiFi; Slowly, my bulbs surpass Sylvania because they are all Bluetooth. I want to know if anyone has their home running out of Bluetooth and how it has been.

My garage door was listed under the installation instructions and had instructions on how to place the wires, but for some reason it would not open or close the door externally. Everything would respond properly and the lights would flash, but the door did nothing. I reached out to customer service and two days later […]
