home app

My HomePod shows up in the Home app on my iOS devices. I have the HomePod selected as a Favorite. However, the HomePod doesn't appear in the Home app on my Apple Watch (Series 2). Instead, it says "No Accessories Add accessories using the Home app on your iPhone." Well, adding an accessory to...

Hi, Just wanted to make note that the HomePod will allow Apple Developer iOS versions to be installed. If you’re an Apple Developer, just log into the Developer website using your iPhone or whatever iOS device you use to manage your HomePod. In the downloads section, add the iOS OTA...

Did anybody else have a problem yesterday, February 13, with the home app and HomeKit? When I came home, I noticed that none of my lights were on. When I opened up the app, I noticed that it had disabled all of my automations. As if that wasn’t bad enough, when I went into each automation, many...

Hoping someone can help me with this as Apple doesn’t make it clear. Under notifications for an accessory in the Home app there is a location and time setting, however it isn’t clear if you set both of these to on whether it sets it to and / or? For example I want to set my porch motion...

Hello I just started using the Apple Home app to control my lights and I had a question: is there a way to group multiple lights together and control them as a group? For instance: I have a lamp that uses 3 light bulbs. The Home app shows them individually, so if I want to make the lamp...

I setup a Philips Hue 4 light system in my home about two weeks ago and had no issues. Setup my Apple TV as a bridge and was able to control with the Home app on my iPhone X and iPad Pro. Two days ago all of my accessories and bridge suddenly starting reporting "no response". However, I could...

Although I love the idea of my lights turning off and on when i come and go, is there a way in the Home app to say something like, I'm leaving the house, but my wife isn't, so leave the lights on. But if we are both leaving, turn them off? I'm using an Koogeek outlet, my wife and I both have iOS...

I just did the upgrade today to IOS 10 and I have no use for the new home button (or app). In fact it slows down how fast I can turn my phone on and I need to get it on very fast sometimes for work. Is there a way to disable it or at least have my phone turn on the old way and put the home app...

Has anyone gotten the automations to work within the home app? I have them set up so when I leave and enter my house stuff happens, but none seem to function. Is there a portion I have to do on my apple tv to get it working?

Any one else experience this with the new apple Home app and creating automations based on location. I created an automation that is set for when I arrive home to unlock my door. However, instead of actually running i just get a notification that says do you want to run xxxxxxxx automation? I...
