I'm replacing a Ubiquiti mFi 8-way power controller with two Eve 3-way sockets...or trying to. First add well. When I try to add the second one, Home (and the Eve app) insists that the device is already part of Home and refers to the previously added band. They have different, different serial numbers "Home codes" […]

I'm a homekit guy who has sensors everywhere. cameras, smart plugs, digital doorbell, locks. everyone is homekit. BUT now I want to get a display, digital like the picture, so I can make my own alarm. The display must be homekit supported. this is so that children can turn on/off the alarm. any tips? Do […]

On mobile on holiday so apologies for not searching much. I have had two recent incidents with my garage door opening or closing seemingly on its own. I had no problem until the last two weeks. Maybe a new "security" trigger in HomeKit? I have a call alarm through the attic at home. Is there […]

I noticed that one of my Eve energies was no response. The button on it did nothing. Disconnecting and reconnecting seems to fix it, but I reset it for good measure. Just curious if anyone else has had a crash/crash (for lack of a better description) like this?

Hi. I just received a Schalge Encode Plus lock. It says it's paired in the Schalge app on my phone, but it doesn't show up in HomeKit, so I can't unlock the door with my phone. Does anyone have a similar experience or advice? Thanks....

Title. I just moved into my first house and definitely replaced the thermostat with an Ecobee. I liked the idea of ​​having the doorbell integrated into the thermostat, but is it really worth the extra $160 to be able to do that, or should I just keep the ring the previous owners left and save […]

Is it possible to have the Hue sensor turn on and off a Wemo plug at a certain temperature ? ​

Hello people, I want to create a voice command that will turn off a HomeKit switch for 30 minutes, then turn it back on. Do I have to use shortcuts for this or can I do it in the home app? Thanks!

The light color shown in the screenshot below is purple. This looks correct in the Hue and Eve apps. However, in HomeKit it appears as orange. This only started a week or two ago. I've restarted my Hue bridge and network but I don't think so since Hue and Eve both show the right color. […]

Has anyone tried the new version and does it work well with HomeKit? I heard you need the bridge, but then someone else said you don't and you can just reset it and add it to the HomeKit/Hue bridge? If anyone has experience please share, I assume it's not as good as the Hue one? […]

I've been trying to connect my two Nanoleaf bulbs to my HomeKit since March 6th and it always says "not responding". I connected them to the Nanoleaf app and it works fine, but it won't work on HomeKit. I tried resetting and resetting them. To be clear, there are bulbs registered to my HomeKit, but […]

Hi, I have a bunch of Aqara devices and two hubs, and I just recently installed an Aqara smoke detector in my garage, which is separate from the house (but still within easy reach of a hub, of course). I can automate the Hubs to sound an alarm when the detector is triggered in the […]

I am in the process of converting all the switches in the house to Lutron Casetas. However, I have a 4 way switch location and have not been able to find any information on whether this is possible. Have any of you put a cassette and remote boards in a 4 way? I'm not an […]

Hello. I am looking for some 3 way switches to use in the very long hallway and stairs. I checked the historical posts and many of you recommend Lutron caseta, Claro and Meross. Unfortunately, all I could find are US versions. Do any of you know a reliable 3 way switch for the European standard? […]

Hi guys, I'm a little confused as to what the problem is with my HomeKit, but overnight almost everything stopped responding. I have restarted my HomePods and Apple TVs and also restarted my WiFi, still no response but in production applications it works perfectly. Hubs also keep saying not responding but can still broadcast and […]

which works better in homekit? which devices are more responsive and which company offers more compatible products? please help me decide what to buy! Thx

Age and model aside, I wonder how everyone squeezes the most battery out of their wall-mounted, battery-powered iPads, which are primarily used for HomeKit and Apple Music control. I've learned that widgets on the lock screen are a definite no-no (at least the way I wanted it set up), but I still feel like I […]

I'll be upgrading to a new iPad soon and was wondering what some good uses would be for the old one. Some ideas I've seen here like: Mounted on the wall in the hallway as a smart hub Stand flat on a desk as a second monitor or to watch youtube/spotify etc Kitchen screen to […]

Hi, I am in the process of purchasing smart switches. I came across the Sonoff minir4m. I wanted to know if these allow me to dim the light to 50% or 25% via the Apple Home app? Or do these only allow me to turn on/off? Has anyone installed this before? What is your opinion […]

Our front door at home is a perfect candidate for something like the Level Lock+, but I have a roller door (no motor, I might get one one day that would solve this) and a sliding door of I'm interested to know what solutions, if any, people have used for locking these types of doors […]

I am fairly new to home automation. I will be moving into my own place in Q1 2025 and would like to set it up as a smart home. I've watched a few YouTube videos and they highly recommend Lutron switches. However, I believe they are only available in 120v. So I looked into setting […]

All of a sudden I can't add new rooms to my house. When I try to add the room I get the error "Could not add room '{Room Name}'". I tried through third party apps like Nano Leaf, Eve and Controller for HomeKit. The error messages are all slightly different, but the gist is the […]

Aqara G4 ringtone... arghhhhhhhhhh

I haven't seen many recent posts about these: does anyone have any recommendations? I just got an air purifier so of course I should automate it! Not sure what "type" of air sensor I would be looking for. I have Home Assistant running as well if anyone has any recommendations that fit there (I'd like […]

I have a simple but large HomeKit setup. 1 Raspberry PI running HomeBridge with SmartThings and Generac Plugin 1 Raspberry PI running Scrypted with 8 cameras, 2 ringers pulled from Unifi Protect Up until about a week ago, everything had been working fine for over a year. No interruptions at all. No need to reboot, […]

It has a rope that makes it go up and down. I've seen one moes, but it's not advertised as HomeKit compatible. Has anyone found a smart product that works with a rope like this? I took my blinds apart for repairs and they would not work with a different type of rope

Is there a way to make these tiles appear on the main screen in their respective rooms?

As the title says, I'm ready to move on from my Logitech Circle View camera. When I bought it 3 years ago everything worked great! Over time, I experienced frequent disconnections for days or weeks at a time. No amount of resetting the router, HomeKit app, and camera provides a permanent solution. I look forward […]

I need 3 bulbs in my house, I've read a lot of bad reviews about the matter nanoleaves and am not considering them, but what about the homekit ones? Are they responsive and reliable? I live in Europe, the shade is expensive for me and I don't want another hub. Recommendations will be welcome

Hello, I've been trying for 3 weeks to solve this problem, but I can't. I have 8 Hue bulbs, I can only connect 7, whichever 7 connects first, it works fine, but the 8th (whichever is the last one) just doesn't want to find it in the Hue app. I tried the serial number, it […]
