    General iOS11 HomeKit

    With iOS11 GM on the horizon, has anyone heard of any products that will now become compatible with HomeKit? I was hoping to hear something about Logitech Harmony remotes.

    Elgato Eve Door and Window - Disabling

    I just installed Elgatos Eve Door and Window on my condo door. I have it set to lock the door on close. It works well, but if I go to take the garbage to the garbage chute, I don't want the door to lock, or I have to remember to take my front door key. Does anyone know a way to temporarily...

    Fibaro Motion and (light?) sensor

    So I bought this thing because it has a light sensor and motion sensor and temperature all in one, but only motion detection is available in HomeKit for automation. Their website gives zero info on how to use the light or temperature sensors. Anyone have this thing and know what how to use light...

    Does iOS11 finally fix HomeKit's issues?

    I'm wondering if anyone running the beta can comment on the reliability of HomeKit in the new release? Check the image I've attached and you'll see what I mean; I'll intermittently get "No Response" on my Philips Hue Lights in the Home app, both on my multiple phones and my watch, as well as my...

    HomeKit Automation - Scheduled versus Motion

    Hi all, I just got a nanoleaf Aurora for my home office. I set it up so on Tues/Thurs to do all white lights at 6:15 AM, and then to switch to a blue at 3:20 PM to remind me to get my son from school. I also set up the lights to turn off at 11:00 PM. All this seemed clear. Then I got...

    Other iPhone + Amazon Echo = Siri Speaker?

    So there's plenty of rumours about the upcoming Siri Home speaker. I'll likely get one of these if/when they become official anyway, but I was wondering if there's a way to build my own using my iPhone, and connecting to an Amazon Echo Dot via bluetooth? Here's my vision: I connect my iPhone...

    How to control device volume with Siri

    If you want to control your device's volume with Siri, I've figured out a simple workaround that requires no additional code or software that you probably don't already have installed (i.e., Homebridge, the Harmony app, HomeKit, and the EXCELLENT HarmonyHub plugin). The main problem is that the...

    Homekit Triggers & Delays

    Does anyone know if HomeKit has an easy way to add delays to actions? I have tried searching but havent had any luck, for example if I add an Elgato Motion Sensor is there anyway to have it turn on a device after say 15 seconds?

    What was your order date? Have you received an email update from them? Have you received your unit yet? If so, does it work as promised? Does it work with HomeKit? My Situation: Emailed them October 11th asking if they could give me a lead-time. I was remodeling a house and needed them by...

    New Homekit user here. Customize geofencing for two users?

    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...

    Siri vs Alexa Smart Home (Longish read)

    I guess this is the appropriate section - just thought i'd give fellow Mac users a little write up of my experiences between the two mainly for smart home control. Alexa only came out mid October in the UK and we're still missing some features however so far i've not been overly impressed. I...

    trigger from web page

    Is it possible for a trigger to come from somewhere other than time or another HomeKit device? I would like to have a trigger come from (for example) a weather app, so the trigger would happen when rain is forcast in the next hour. Or from an e-mail from a specific person... Is there anything...
