    New Siri behaviour when controlling homekit accessories?

    Hi, All the lamps I own in my apartment are Philips Hue and I control them exclusively via the Home(kit) app. Often I go to bed at night and just say "Hey Siri, turn off the lights" and it works like a charm. Let me just put some clarification: my apartment is a 1 bedroom studio, I have an...

    HomeKit Preventing HomeKit Automations From Overriding

    I turn on the dining room light. 20 minutes later a scheduled HomeKit event turns off the dining room light. So is there a way to have manual choices take precedence over automations? Thanks very much.

    Just setup 4 Eufy Indoor 2K cams in the house. All are configured for HomeKit and are working (more or less). 2 of them are set, under Recording Options, to OFF when Home, and Stream and Record when Away. When I am home, the two cams show as OFF in the Home app on my iPhone. The problem is...

    Eufy HomeKit Secure Video Activity Zones in iOS 14?

    Did a bit of searching here but wasn’t able to find an answer. Has anyone with Eufy 2 HomeKit cameras on HSV been able to set up activity zones in the iOS 14 Home app? That options seems to be gone for me. Thanks!

    Are there any HomeKit-enabled routers NOT made by companies owned by Amazon, Google, or FaceBook?

    I will be in the market for a new router (and possible extender/mesh/? system) soon. I know WiFi 6 is a must, but I'd like it to be HomeKit-enabled as well. However, my biggest hope is that I can find one from a company that is NOT related to Amazon, Google, or FaceBook! Any suggestions?
