• Apple Homekit - German Version

  Hello

  I installed Apple Homekit Homebridge running on ios 10.0.2. It works great so far. There is just something wrong with the spelling of contact sensors, indicating the status of the doors. If the door is closed, it says "closed". It's true in German.

  But if the sensor is open, it says "Öffnen". It is a verb in German, which means like to open. It would be good, if you say 'Open' or 'Offen '. It would be the adjectiv of the word and should be.

  It is not a big bug, but a bit boring.

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Sincerely yours

  Michael

• HomeKit Setup with OLD Apple ID

  I have installed just a few lights Phillips Hue with HomeKit (No Apple TV). Just my iPhone, an echo of the Amazon and the hue of Phillips and Home Apple app.

  When I went to share access with Apple ID of my wife, he showed him there was a request from an old account of mine iCloud.com which has not been used over the years and is not in use now. Why it does not recognize my Gmail iCloud account, which is what I am connected to my phone.

  Is the iCloud iCloud.com older account in the backend = Gmail account?

  Sounds like when you have joined an Apple ID, you did back in the day with a Gmail address, which isn't a big deal.  I'm in the same boat and many other institutions.

  It can show the Gmail email address as you may be signed in somewhere with him.

• Accessories HomeKit does not at home, but work outside.

  Hello

  I recently got a new Signal of Hunter ceiling fan, which is one of the first active HomeKit fans. I went through the installer on my iPhone 7 more for the fan about 20 times. Each time, installation works and the fan is controllable for about 1-5 minutes each time. Then the two buttons for the fan and light are starting to appear 'No response' on them. By clicking on the buttons, surprise, has no effect on the fan or light.

  I have my Apple TV (4th generation) Setup as a hub. I also tried setting to the top of my iPad as a hub. Nor has helped get my fan work. However... today we were shopping, and I happened to pull up the control center. I noticed that Photonics and fan buttons is no longer says "No response" and typed a. After a few seconds, the fan button said it was now on. Then I tried the light. Same positive reaction. I played with them a few moments and everything seemed to work... except that I couldn't be sure, because, you know, I was not at home.

  So, when I got home, I tried again... back to 'No response' on the buttons. What the devil? So I then turned off the wifi on my phone and guess what? The "No Response" disappeared and the fan and light work.

  So there is something when my iphone is on my own wifi network, it cannot speak to the HomeKit accessories. That makes no sense at all. Why would it be? Is there something on my router I need to unlock it (even if I looked and did not find anything which is blocked).

  I contacted the support team for the fan again. But I'm starting to think it's something with the iPhone, not the fan. Oh, and HomeKit opening on the iPad does not work internally either.

  Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

  Greetings, U2SockMonkey!

  To review your post, you have configured your Signal Hunter ceiling fan in your HomeKit and use your AppleTV and iPad as hubs. Your iPhone 7 more on iOS 10.0.2 intermittently becomes a message 'no response' when you try to control your ceiling fan with it but it worked fine while you were away from home. It is apparently only at home and I'll be happy to help you to get this working properly.

  If your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch connects to a Wi-Fi network - I found that iOS devices and a home network can stop talking to each other. Follow the steps in this article to ensure that your home's Wi - Fi signal is strong and consistent.

  Take care and thank you for using communities of support from Apple!

• How to configure automation with Apple TV, Homekit and Hue

  I have what I believe should be a viable home automation installation: a new brand (4th generation, Sept. 16) Apple TV, a hub of hue with the support of Homekit and seven lights attached via the hub.  The lights appear in the home iPad app and can be enabled or disabled here.  I can also do things with Siri on the Apple TV as "turn one room family", and have the appropriate lights.  Thus, it seems that everything works.

  BUT: when I go to the tab "Automation" in the app iPad Home, all I get is a page telling me that I should get an Apple TV to put in place of the automated activities - there is no way to actually DO something.  Am I missing something obvious?  I do this also?  Don't forget that I can control the lights in the House on the iPad, so they certainly know each other...  Thank you!

  Looks like you are unable to configure Automation with your Apple TV. I would check that you have everything set up correctly with the steps described in this article:

  Automate and remotely to your accessories HomeKit

  If everything looks OK, then use the section 'Get help with your home hub' down. Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

• Homekit no longer works on Appletv 4 after tvOS updated

  Before I could turn on the devices and turn off outside my network WiWFi as the ATV4 was the HomeKit connection. Now with all my devices on iOS10 and AppleTV updated to the new tvOS, I can no longer turn things works when I am outside my wifi network.

  Hi MulderDSM,

  I understand that after updating to iOS 10, you no longer have remote control to your home devices. I know it's nice not to have to worry about leaving the lights on when you're gone, so I'm happy to help you.

  It appears from your description, you must make sure that remote access is enabled for your account. This page displays more information on how to do it:

  Automation and remote access - iPhone
  

  Allow access remotely. Go to settings > iCloud, then light the fire. Make sure that you are logged in using the same Apple ID on all devices.

  If you have an Apple TV using the same account iCloud as your iPhone, it will be automatically coupled and active for automation. To configure iPad for automation, see the chapter of the House of iPad User Guide.

• Cam nest excluded Homekit?

  I can only assume, because of the competitive relationship between Apple and Google, but I'm really disappointed to see that the family of nest products is excluded from Homekit.

  Stupid decision, because I do not know that I am not alone to already incorporate the nest in my house and using the app to nest on my phone.  I guess they wanted to be sure that homekit was completely irrelevant for me...

  Google and nest products are in direct competition with Apple and their proprietary Home Kit.  Google paid $3 .2b for nest laboratories and has used to launch Google home.  Completely secure communication protocols different use of two technologies, so are not inherently compatible and nest will be redesigned specifically to be. Google doesn't want you to use the nest with home kit - they want to you use the nest with their system.  Time will tell which competitor wins in the end.

• Homekit remote access does not

  Hello.

  I have a Schlage door sense block 100% functional when connected by bluetooth with my iphone (ios 10) either when I m with the sense or Homekit app it management.

  The problem starts when I try to work remotely.

  Yes:

  (1) my 3rd generation Apple TV (Maj) is connected with the same iCloud account that I use in my other devices, including my iPhone

  (2) Apple TV shows as 'connected' when I check my hub within the Homekit app status

  (3) Apple TV is "always on."

  (4) I tried to connect a disconnect in icloud again several times.

  Need help please!

  I chose this lock exclusively to access remote homekit.

  Thank you!

  It seems that the fault is in schlage's recent firmware update.  They have posted the following on their web site about seven 18, 2016:

  Some clients of Schlage sense suffered a loss of access remotely through the 3rd generation Apple TV after update of their lock to the version of the firmware 3.42.

  We are aware of the problem and are working quickly to resolve.

  In the meantime, you can learn more details about how to set up an Apple TV and iPad for remote access and automation of your Schlage lock and other accessories HomeKit.

• How to use apple tv as plate rotating homekit?

  I use bulbs Philips dyed with HomeKit successfully with our iPhones and iPads (even had the ability to use the iPad as a hub). However, for the life of me I can't configure HomeKit with our gen 4 Apple TV. I'm connected with my identifier Apple and iTunes and everything. However, the HomeKit option in the settings menu do not appear anywhere! What I am doing wrong? I tried to connect the Apple TV through Wi - Fi and ethernet. Everything works fine except that I can't seem to install Apple TV as a hub HomeKit.

  The setting for HomeKit appears, under settings > accounts > iCloud. You should see a section called "HOMEKIT" and underneath, you should see the name of your House HomeKit, as indicated on your iPhone or iPad, and on the far right who it will say if the Apple TV is connected or not.

  As much as the Apple TV, acting as a hub, its only function on HomeKit is also to allow access remotely to your HomeKit accessories while you are away from home.

• Automation not triggering Homekit

  I'm really loving the new application Homekit in iOS 10. I think it is much better than the app of hue of Philips I used to control my lights at home. However there seems to be something wrong with the function of automation. Or if Miss me just something, in this case, I'd appreciate any help I can get.

  My configuration is:

  • 4th gen Apple TV acting as a hup homekit
  • 1 Philips Hue bridge
  • 4 white tinted Philips bulbs
  • 1 Philips Lightstrip of Hue
  • 1 iPhone and 1 iPad Mini using Homekit app to set scenes

  I have several scenes set up and using automation functionality, I use the following schedule

  • Good morning - All 4 white bulbs and lightstrip on at 05:30
  • Lights - all the lights from 08:45
  • Afternoon - all 4 white bulbs and lightstrip on at 14:30
  • Evening - 3 white and lightstrip bulbs on at 19:00
  • Good morning - all lights except lightstrip off at 22:30

  The problem is that the timers don't always trigger. As far as I know, the afternoon lights, evening and good night controls work fine. But the automation of the morning never seems to trigger automatically. When I try to debug the morning and playing with time and wait and see, it will sometimes trigger, sometimes not. And then I wait again the next morning and it does not fire. I even put a light in 05:00, half an hour before good morning, to see if it helped, but it didn't.

  Does anyone have any suggestions as to why automation in the morning won't turn on?

  Hi Arthur,.

  I have the same problem as you. The triggers appear to respond inconsistently. The worst is the one from the Sun which is added when it is already dark. Apple should add the ability to take some time before the sun goes down. My Apple tv is always on and I also used an ipad as a hub. Have you found a solution since you post your question?

• iOS 10 HomeKit Lock Automation

  Why shares of automation for locks HomeKit in iOS 10 require user action to run? for example, a trigger to arrive at a situation pushes a notification to the user asking if you want to run the scene or not to unlock the lock. Kind of defeated the purpose of automation, it seems.

  I think the reason is that a lock is a safety feature and he now wants verification that you are the user.

  I noticed the same thing with my lock not unlock not until I selected ok in the notification Center and then had to connect to the iPhone to work the scene.

  To test this theory, I created another trigger to run a scene when you leave an area. Set this trigger to run a scene that started a fire. It worked without any user interaction.

  Only the trigger to run a scene using a safety device (lock door i.e.:a) would it not work until I logged in.

  Its the same when you wake up your iPhone but do not you connect and go then drag until you reach the command center then swipe on to homekit and select props or scenes. Then you can run scenes not safety and trigger safety accessories not without logging in, but if you try to unlock/lock the lock it will ask you to log in first before execution.

  It is logical, if someone gets your phone they could unlock your door if they had not implemented this feature. Under iOS9, it was different. The trigger to run the scene automatically without user intervention.

  That's what I understood from my tests.

• Homekit with the iPad as hub problem

  Hello

  I just installed iOS 10 on my iPhone 6 and iPad 2 Air and try to play with HomeKit to remotely control lights of the hue.

  I can control accessories from my iPhone and my iPad, when both are connected to my Wifi network.

  I install my iPad as a Hub HomeKit via settings/Home.

  My iPad is well detected as HomeKit hub on my iPhone by the host application.

  The problem is when I switch off my iPhone from my Wifi network and connect through 4 G: I can no longer control accessories: my iPad is still considered homeKit Hub from my iPhone, but I get failures when trying to turn on the lights/out.

  I disconnected my iPad iCloud account and reconnected (same account iCloud on my iPhone).

  I've disabled iCloud/HomeKit and reactivated it on my iPad.

  I've disabled host/Hub and reactivated it on my iPad.

  I restarted my iPhone and my iPad.

  Checking with 2 factors is enabled on my account.

  I deactivated and reactivated the iCloud keychain.

  I plugged my iPad to a charger.

  Without success, any idea?

  Could it be associated with my case ADSL settings (UPnP is enabled)?

  Thank you.

  Good news: I removed my house in Homekit and created a new one from scratch: it works fine now.

  Thank you.
