    iPad Pro Please Help! Home App Draining Battery

    HomeKit HomeKit erroneously thinks HomePod OG is on a different network

    The home app started reporting that one of my HomePods is on a different network. It is not; there is only one main network. I rebooted the HomePod and the error persists. Do I have to reinit the HomePod?

    HomeKit Can’t remove unresponsive accessory from Home app

    I have a client who has a couple of Meross MSS110 smart switches. They had successfully been added to the Home app in the process of being added to the Wi-Fi network.

    iOS 17 beta 3 Talk via Home App

    I have seen this in the Home app but have never seen it before? There seems to be the ability to talk through HomeKit cameras. I can’t get it to work unfortunately. I use eufy cameras and the ability to speak through the camera was only previously available through the eufy app.

    Home Arlo Secure - Spouse Can’t Access Features?

    I pay for Arlo Secure. One benefit is smart notifications, which allows me to specify the motion alerts I want to receive. I have granted access to my spouse within the app, but she doesn’t have access to the same features that I have. Is this a limitation or am I doing something wrong?

    HomeKit How do you check if you're running the new home architecture?

    I'm not able to see the option to update to the new home architecture even after I have updated all my devices, but I have feeling that I might have already been upgraded.

    Watch OS 9.2 - Family Setup Home app?

    Anyone with knowledge of Watch OS 9.2 know if the Family Sharing Home app access (and key access) touted On the Watch OS 9 features (and then shifted to later this year) is in 9.2? There’s very little about this feature but I’d like my kids to have it.
