I have a HomeKit scene with 12 LIFX bulbs. When the scene goes through the HomeKit app or automation, it works ~ 99% of the time. When using my new POP, it's about a 50% success rate - sometimes only a few lights turn on, or sometimes the lights switch off over 60 seconds. When […]
I keep my end with this dang thing. After first installing the device, my remote / car garage stopped opening the functionality essentially. I had to be in the garage and hold / press repeatedly for it to work. Okay, not a big deal, I've been fine now. So I sucked it up. Recently, I […]

A little history. Originally, two AppleTVs and two iPads were running as Homekit hubs. Homekit continued to return to a random configuration, which means: * Recently added devices disappear completely (must be rebooted) * Units return to their default names * Scenes disappear * Button presses actions that disappear and shows "(no scenes or accessories)" […]

So now I hate Yale. I thought I removed a lock from the Yale app, but show I removed my HOME! Why does Apple even allow a third-party app to do so? It's insane! So I called Apple and their only solution was to wow my phone and recover from an iCloud backup. But when […]
I have four HomePods throughout the house. Recently, if I make a Siri request from the HomePod living room, it works, but it also makes one of HomePods in the nearby bedrooms.

My 5-year-old home is completely HomeKit (with about 75 units in total) and all of the GFCI sockets, including the exteriors, are routed to a socket in the middle of my garage wall.

Hi, hope someone has seen this ... I have several HomeKit units and one of them is a Honeywell Lyric. For some reason, Lyric is a "inaccessible" on my iPhone, but is available on my iPad and MacBook. If Lyric is armed or disarmed, I get messages on my iPhone. This is the only device […]
Any site-based automation has been seriously wrong since yesterday, by chance the day iOS 12.2 was released and installed. Had the lights go several times in the middle of the night, as if we had just returned home. Anyone else notice problems?
I want to hit my head in a wall here. & # X200B; I've reviewed all the historical threads on how to add Apple TV back to HomeKit, but I can't see what has been said, I should see. & # X200B; I reset my phone and reset Apple TV many times. It's a 4th […]
