Checking HomeKit away from home still works without Home Internet and WiFi as long as your hub is an LTE iPad and HomeKit devices are Bluetooth.

With context, I canceled my home internet and sold my WiFi Router and chose to move to Bluetooth-enabled HomeKit devices to save money. I made a few posts about this earlier and was told "what is the meaning you won't be able to control anything away from home" Good surprise, I can still control my […]

My rather complicated homekit setup

https://i.redd.it/mw3pdkk85tw21.jpg Thought it might be interesting. It shows how my setup is done using a mix of Homebridge and Homekit. I prefer Friday lock for August, because Friday has a rechargeable battery, is smaller and has failed to deliver (August doorbell) I prefer Lyric Contact sensors to Eva - I find Eva a little too […]

FYI: HomeKit actually supports automation with multiple triggers and additional conditions

My Samsung Q6 2018 got the Apple TV update

It has apple tv app. And I confirmed that I can airplay my phone and laptop for it. But the worst part! Isn't it Homekit. So I can't test the TV and control the volume. That's all I really wanted now, I'm disappointed. Any other way I can control the TV volume from the apple […]

HunterDouglas responds to PowerView HomeKit delay and lag issues

A few weeks ago (I wrote here) (https://homekit.blog.com/r/HomeKit/comments/bhvfky/hunter_douglas_powerview_homekit_delay_and_lag/) about issues I had with the PowerView HomeKit integration, such as Laggy response times and grouped blinds that didn't move at all.

I can be alone in this respect, but I don't know or understand the hype around Aqara and their homekit units. I have a few concerns with them, 1] to be their cost. If they are so cheap we would not expect them to work / perform badly, or are they not? and 2] many […]
