I purchased several HomePod Minis to use around our house. Our household consists of two adults and three children with their own Apple IDs. I was excited for each of us to be able to use "personal requests." I was quickly disappointed when almost every time any of us asked "Hey Siri, who am I?"...

In the opinion of forum readers, what is the best HomeKit blog? AppleInsider has the HomeKit Insider blog, but I am not one to spend time listening to something, when I can read the information instead. Also text allows skipping forward so much easier.

I am using the Big Sur version of the Home app. I believe, the interface hasn’t changed too much from the Catalina version, although it is sufficiently different from the one that shipped with Mojave. I am looking for a way to edit the names of my rooms. So far I have had to switch to using the...

Ever since updating to 14.2 HomeKit has been broken in my smart home. I have about 60+ HomeKit accessories and for a few days I couldn't control them in the Home app. I signed out of iCloud, did some hard resets, and then somehow manual control through the Home App returned. However, another...

Hi @All, Maybe anyone can help me with my HomePod Mini problem. After the Issues with the Wi-Fi connection from the HomePod Mini, I was trying to reset the HomePod. The problem is that after I plugged the power in, the red circle appear & goes off after some second. After the red light is...

Is this a common issue anyone is getting? I've got a few automations setup based on time, sunset and "if this switch turns on then do this". Unfortunately they've become completely unreliably lately, since iOS14 I believe, only working probably half of the time. Anyone else getting this or is...

Hello, Does anybody have a site that talks you through how to setup, configure, and use Homebridge? I have gone to a few, ok a lot, and they all talk what you can do with it, but they don't talk about how to set it up or how to configure them, or better yet, how you access them via your iOS...

Hi everyone! Just looking for someone experienced with the meross lightbulbs. It's possible to create an automation with the Home App, and turn ON the bulb with a SPECIFIC COLOR and brightness? I have researched some Homekit bulbs, and while you can turn them ON/OFF, you cannot choose what...

How? I want to make use of Scenes and/or Automations that include turning the Apple TV On or Off, i.e. waking it or sleeping it. However, I just don't see how I can do that. I can make a Shortcut that does all that I need but only I can use it and not from the Apple TV itself. I can speak the...

So, a 4K ATV has been my hub and everything was great. Another ATV and HomePod have been "standby" hubs. And...then I had to turn off the ATV circuit to do some electrical work. The HomePod took over as hub, and showed both ATVs as standby. Ok, fine. But then I find out all my automations...

Hi, All the lamps I own in my apartment are Philips Hue and I control them exclusively via the Home(kit) app. Often I go to bed at night and just say "Hey Siri, turn off the lights" and it works like a charm. Let me just put some clarification: my apartment is a 1 bedroom studio, I have an...

I turn on the dining room light. 20 minutes later a scheduled HomeKit event turns off the dining room light. So is there a way to have manual choices take precedence over automations? Thanks very much.

Some questions about using solely HomeKit to manage my ecobee thermostat as opposed to the ecobee app: 1. Do I need to keep the ecobee app installed on my device? 2. I can remove everything from my ecobee app schedule except sleep, which appears as an all-day event. Will this conflict with...

I'm noticing that my iPhone is receiving HomeKit notifications (from my cameras) only when I am on WIFI. I have a couple cameras that are set to switch from DETECT to STREAM and RECORD when I leave. And the opposite when I arrive back home. I notice that when I get to a client office and my...

I recently purchased a Philips Hue White Ambiance starter kit. I set up my automations with HomeKit, but my lamps all turn in with different temperatures. I’ve noticed there’s a way to set brightness and temperature in automations, but the temperature setting doesn’t seem to stay. Is this a...

Just setup 4 Eufy Indoor 2K cams in the house. All are configured for HomeKit and are working (more or less). 2 of them are set, under Recording Options, to OFF when Home, and Stream and Record when Away. When I am home, the two cams show as OFF in the Home app on my iPhone. The problem is...

When I got my new S6 Watch and started using it, I noticed that I can no longer control my HomeKit devices with it. I get the same problem whether trying to use the Home app or Siri. The app tells me ‘10 devices not responding’ on the Watch, but things look fine on my iPhone and iPad (and I can...

Did a bit of searching here but wasn’t able to find an answer. Has anyone with Eufy 2 HomeKit cameras on HSV been able to set up activity zones in the iOS 14 Home app? That options seems to be gone for me. Thanks!

My brother recently moved to iOS after a decade of loyalty to Google. He has some HomeKit compatible products including Hue. He didn’t save the HomeKit codes. Is there a way to add a Phillips Hue hub to HomeKit without the code?
