    HomeKit HomeKit Cameras Randomly Cycle between Offline and Online

    I have a total of 8 Cameras connected to HomeKit and they randomly go offline (sometimes all of them and sometimes only a few at once). They are a mixture of Eufy Pro 2 Cams and the Eufy Indoor Cameras. At this point I am out of ideas. I have set static IPs for all the cameras and that did not...

    HomeKit HomeKit hard wired light switch used as remote switch.

    This is more of a theoretical discussion. I've got a few homekit light switches used inside the house and they've all been wired as one would expect. I'm currently drawing up some plans to run additional outlets and power some string lights in the backyard. I'll have to use conduit to run all...

    HomeKit iOS16 Homeapp’s button redesign doesn’t make sense

    First, I want to state that I am very happy with the redesigned app. It looks a lot better and is a lot more streamlined. However, I cannot stand how the button works. I mean how often do you change the settings for each light or fan? Once it is properly set up, I hardly change the setting...

    HomeKit Anyone else thinking of giving up with HomeKit?

    I keep coming around to the idea that HomeKit might not be the one for me anymore and was wondering if anyone else felt the same? I am unable to find decent products (doorbells, I’m looking at you) the products I do find all seem to require their own app or cloud service and when Siri does...
