Apple TV like Smart Home Hub?

Hey! I am keen to get the philips tint lights and stuff. I heard that the Apple TV can act as a hub. Does this mean that I have to buy the Philips tinted hub?

It would appear that you need what is called a tint of Philips (V2.0) bridge to manage communications between the lights and the Apple TV (4th generation). This will allow to use the features of Apple HomeKit, like controlling your lights through Siri. See http://www2.meethue.com/en-gb/friends-of-hue/apple-homekit/.

  • Not able to install apple tv 4th gen as home hub

    Updated to iOS 10 yesterday. I was looking for installation up to the ATV 4th Gen as a home hub, but it is not allowing me. It works very well to set up the ipad pro as the hub, but not the ATV, which is running TVos 10, and Yes 2 verification step is on. Everyone knows about this problem? Apple is aware?

    Hello. Have you seen this cannot create Apple TV (4th gen) as Home Hub?

  • Connect the BT Home Hub 5 to Time Capsule

    Hello... I tried this search and became simply confused with how to proceed, or if it is still possible!

    I would like to time Capsule to back up an iMac and a MacBook Pro using Time Machine.  However, if possible, I would like to distribute my wifi signal of BT, as I believe that she will do better than the Home Hub itself...?  If this isn't the case, it would be good to know as well.

    If he will distribute the signal better... How can I do this?

    1. Lampholders use on the home page of Hub and TC?
    2. What I have to put in place the TC in bridge mode... If yes how?
    3. I have to turn off the wifi on the hub of the House?
    4. Must the TC be put in place to create a new network?

    Thank you in advance for the advice/help!

    1 use the WAN port on the TC and any port LAN on the HH5 to establish the connection.

    NOTE: at least until what you complete installation... Then, you can use any port on the TC. Sometimes a port LAN on the TC will then work better.

    2. Yes, you need the TC in bridge.

    When you run the utility Setup Assistant airport... and you have configured the wiring as shown in 1. Normally, it will automatically detect the setup and choose of bridge. If this isn't the case you can simply change the end of the process.

    You are more disturbing... Let it Setup to give it a try and if it does not post again.

    3.4, the default TC will always create a wireless network that is correct. Do not turn off Wi - Fi in the HH5, but you can if you wish... It is totally up to you... There is nothing wrong with the two manage the wireless network... you can even use the same name and same security setting and password on both and let the customer who join. (strongest signal) This is called roaming... normally, it is better for the TC to have a separation from the HH5... about 1 M would be nice... Even better locate the TC close to where it is needed.

  • Airport Express which runs from the BT Home Hub

    Hello

    I have an iMac and a Mac who need backup, and I also want to extend the signal wi - fi upstairs in my house.

    I bought a time capsule from the airport, the main Airport utility and tried to implement.

    Can I GRT at the stage where it broadcasts a Wi - Fi connection name and I can connect to it OK but it does not connect to the internet.  I'm clicked on edit and go to the WiFi settings and set it to the BRIDGE and put in the name of wifi BT HH and password but still nothing.

    I googled this and there seems to be some discussions that say it last only another apple product and some that say you can use it with HH BT wireless?

    Can someone give me an asnswer difinitive please and tell me how (if possible) to implement wireless to expand the wifi signbal.

    Thank you very much

    Function of "extend a wireless network" Apple owns... .it will only extend wireless signal from another router from Apple.

    At one time... over 3 years ago... it was possible to configure time Capsule to connect to a router from another manufacturer. It is a parameter to "join a wireless network.  But he could not "extend" the network when he does this.

    The "Join" option has been removed since more than 3 years, because it was highly reliable.

    If you want to use the time Capsule with the Home Hub, Time Capsule must connect to the Home Hub using wired Ethernet wired, permanent.  Then, if you wanted to "extend" the signal Time Capsule wireless wireless, you might add another router from Apple, such as an AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express.

    The bottom line here... If you want wireless "extend" an Apple product, you will need two routers Apple to do.

  • BT Home Hub

    After the recent microsoft updates I can connect is more to the internet via BT home hub. I tried BT help, restore the system & others, but it continues to be. Any ideas.

    Wendy

    What version of BT Home Hub do you have?

    You probably need to reset the router (Home Hub).

    Disconnect the cable from the phone to the Home Hub and the power cable to the Home Hub. Wait 30 seconds. Reconnect the cables and press the reset button with something like the head of a needle. On a Home Hub 3 will be three images, after waiting a bit, though, change from orange to blue. One in the Middle being the last to change to blue.

  • Apple devices like iPads don't leave caches in the system? Yes or no.  If yes how system caches can be deleted?

    Apple devices like iPads don't leave caches in the system? Yes or no.  If yes how system caches can be deleted?

    Yes.

    IOS or system caches are called "Documents & Data" or D & D for short and 'others '. They can be seen by plugging your iOS device on iTunes - on the Summary tab down there will be bar display accurately. They cannot be deleted. The only way to reset is to do a system restore. A restore will reduce the size of D & D and others, but they will start to grow again. However, applications have caches that can be deleted. Safari for example > you can delete all Cookies and data. For other applications, it depends on the application.

    The system restore. First save your device via iTunes. Also import your photos on your computer and copy all the data if possible. Reconstruction of the support first test and test. If this does not help, you may need to restore as a new and reconfigure from scratch as the backup may be damaged. It is important to have your photos and your saved data separately from the backup. Here are the steps for a restoration:

  • Apple TV will not be displayed as home hub in iOS iPhone app House 10

    I'm trying to set up the AppleTV 4th gen to act as a drop-in centre, but it will not be displayed in the home of the iPhone app.

    Both devices use the same iCloud, tried a disconnection and returned but nothing, two-factor authentication is activate, location is enabled, iOS are both updated with even wifi link...

    Also, I checked in my apple ID page and all devices appear correctly, but I can't understand why the Apple TV is not recognized by iPhone kit home.

    Any help appreciated

    Dave

    I have the same problem.  A ran the same traps you.  2 factor auth active.  Sign in and out icloud.  No luck.  Can activate ipad like home but 4th gen apple tv hub will not simply act as the hub.  Under settings, accounts, icloud... no homekit option available.

  • Unable to set up Apple TV (4th gen) as Home Hub

    I updated my iPhone to iOS 10 5s yesterday and today I updated my Apple TV (4th gen) to tvOS 10.

    But I can't configure my Apple TV as a hub in the home on my iPhone app - the Automation tab in the hub said "Make Apple TV (4th generation) to the center of your House...» ", but offers no possibility to do so.

    I found this article:

    Automate and remotely to your accessories HomeKit - Apple Support

    Who says:

    • On your Apple TV, go to settings > accounts > iCloud and make sure your Apple TV shows connected HomeKit.

    But there's nothing HomeKit this page of settings on Apple TV. (Yes, my Apple ID has two-factor auth enabled.)

    Does anyone have this working? Any tips?

    Thank you

    Martin

    Same question here, but with 6 s iPhone more and iPad 9.7 Pro.

    No "HomeKit" option under iCloud as instructions indicate there should be.

    Only reference HomeKit that I could find anywhere was under "Privacy", with the only option being "Reset configuration" or something like that. Who comes to HomeKit forget all my devices.

    Have activated two-factor authentication, then out of the iCloud, Apple TV, and back in. No luck. Tried to reboot several times, still nothing.

    The Apple TV is clear my HomeKit Setup, because the use of the thing "Reset configuration" has had an impact on what I see on my iPhone. So I think this could be a bug in 10 TVOS. Very annoying that it breaks the new Automation features in iOS 10.

  • You buy an AppleTV just for stream Apple music to my home theater - wise?

    Hello world.

    Family registerated of Apple's music.

    We have a home theater system in the living room (receiver has 2-3 years).

    Currently, connect us via to the headphone jack of the iPhone to get music on the Apple speakers.

    I suggested to an Apple TV (cheapest is one that works), connect it to the receiver (I don't know how well) and then the flow of music (?) wireless.

    1. is this a wise solution?

    2 - is called AirPlay?

    3 is high quality AirPlay?

    4. the iPhone actually sends the music via the WiFi connection, or it's more like Chromecast where just the link is sent?

    Thank you very much!

    If you plan to streaming audio then its best to get an airport express, which takes in charge of AirPlay.
