    HomeKit HomeKit went from near flawless to barely usable

    My HomeKit setup has always worked great but recently has became close to unusable. The issues started when I added more lights to a room. Before it was flawless, at home and away. It started to remember old lights that I'd completely removed, so when I say "turn the lights on" it will and then...

    Bugs all across the ecosystem

    Hello folks. I couldn't find a correct forum (some general discussion about Apple products ... maybe I am blind) for this topic hence I am posting it here. (in case a Mod finds a better forum, be my guest and I apologize) I moved to the "ecosystem" a few years ago and now I own all the stuff...

    Resolved Schlage Sense (no response and unreachable) in HomeKit with Apple TV hub - [RESOLVED by tvOS 16.4]

    I've had a Schlage Sense lock for several years. Its only radio is Bluetooth (BLE), so initially, without a hub, I could only operate while my iPhone was within Bluetooth range. There is always a long delay to operate on arrival, as it takes time for the lock to re-connect via Bluetooth...

    HomeKit Motion sensor automation issue

    Wondering if anyone has run in to a similar issue and has found a solution. I’ve set an automation for a motion sensor to turn on some lights. This works just fine until I add the time parameter (only trigger between X and Y timeframe), which breaks it. I have to believe it’s something to do...
