Two Apple TV with HomeKit

I was interested by the HomeKit implementation for home automation other products continue to be released. I currently have 2 Gen3 AppleTV. My question is, having two apple TV to expand bluetooth for some devices? My apple TV are on opposite sides of the House and I read people complain on problems of the range. Having both would be able to push the bluetooth off the coast of one or the other?

Some HomeKit devices are wifi, while others are Bluetooth control.  Only those that are Bluetooth control must be close to the hub of the ATV and then it comes down to the limitation of Bluetooth technology on how far the ATV devices must reside.  In general, it comes to 32feet.  I have several ATVS in my residence for control homekit - they need to be within 32 feet of the ATC, the locks are Bluetooth.  However, I have lights, garage, cameras etc. which are ordered wifi as well as the location in relation to the ATV is of no consequence...

This article can provide help in the understanding of the installation...

  • IMessage Apple Watch has two interviews separated with the same person?

    My new Apple Watch has a problem with iMessage and I know how to fix this on my iPhone but not watch?

    On my iPhone, that my ID apple is connected to more than 10 devices and sometimes when a new device is added, it adds the addresses on my apple for iMessage and FaceTime ID and I always fix by unchecking the addresses that I don't want in the application settings under "Messages" and "FaceTime." However, this isn't the same thing to watch because there is no option in the settings on the Apple Watch and the watch App on my iPhone.

    I would like to help please?

    Hello

    Apple Watch uses the same parameters (for how you can be reached and how new conversations are started) for Messages as your iPhone.

    If you have two interviews separated with the same person, the following steps may help:

    • On your iPhone, check if there is more than one contact form in Contacts of this person (if so, remove duplicates).
    • Delete old Messages conversations with this contact on each of your iPhone and watch:
      • iPhone: app Messages > swipe to the left on a message thread > delete.
      • View: Open the Messages app (from the home screen, which is accessible by pressing the digital Crown) > swipe to the left on a message thread > tap on Trash / delete.
    • On your iPhone in the app Watch: Watch My > general > reset > press reset sync data:
      • You won't see anything happen after pressing it (the process runs in the background, invisible to the user).
      • Leave a minute or two to allow the course ends.
    • Restart your iPhone and your watch (turn the two together off the coast, then restart your iPhone first):
  • I have two Apple TV. The remote control that interferes with the other. For example, if I press stop on the distance she also those other programs. How to do this?

    I have two Apple TV. The action on each distance affects the other tv. For example if I press stop on the remote control will stop the program on the other tv to. How can I stop this from happening?

    Easy.  You must associate each ATV with one of the remotes.  Each ATV is not paired and will 'listen' to any distance.

    The trick is to cover before the other ATV when matching so the two do not listen.

    Silver or white remote control: pair or cancel the twinning of the Apple Remote with Apple TV (3rd generation or earlier)-Apple Support

    Siri remote control: http://help.apple.com/appletv/#/atvbc9953e63

    Don't know what models you have the ATV, but the whole process is the same:

    1. choose a remote control and an ATV.  Cover the front of the another ATV.

    2. hold the remote control in 3 inch they recommend, pair it with appropriate above process.

    3. choose the other remote, unlock the first ATV and block that you just paired.

    4. hold the second remote control 3 inches from the second ATV and pair it with appropriate above process.

    5. release the first ATV and enjoy.

  • Two iTunes libraries with an Apple TV

    Hi I have the new Apple TV and I would like to know if it is possible to access all of the iTunes home libraries (several people). Computers are PCs and Macbooks.

    I thought of two ways:

    (1) pass the House Apple TV sharing whenever you want to access a different library (it's quite involved as we all have complicated passwords and we do not have a keyboard for the Apple TV)

    (2) put all libraries iTunes on one account and use only one account.

    #2 is possible? I know that I can test, but I wanted to ask you before I went to play with all computers.

    -If I change the account on iTunes that will affect library one at all? (I know that we can add the new account to our sharing family so people can still get their purchases but what about not purchased items that are currently on the hard drive?)

    -People will always be able to back up their phones, or will they move iTunes from their computer to their own personal account before saving?

    Or is there a solution, that I don't know? Near as I can tell you can't do home sharing on Apple TV with multiple iTunes accounts.

    You just need to configure home sharing to be the same ID on all computers. Home sharing doesn't have to be the same as the account ID (these are separate functions) and will not impact on other activities

    does anyone have a solution to this?

    Hello

    The following steps can help (try again after each):

    • On your iPhone, in the application of the watch, go to: Watch My > general > use > software update - remove any file update, if one is displayed.
    • Delete all profiles beta (on your iPhone and/or the watch), then restart both devices (this applies only if you have already participated in a program of Apple Beta software).

    I had two apple ID, but only now have access to one of the e-mails. When I try to login, it differs on the account that I no longer have access to. How can I change my information to my * account?

    < email published by host >

    As you know that these are user forums, it is not a good idea to post your e-mail address on a public forum - I asked the host to remove it.

    What "information" do you want to go? You can transfer iTunes downloads to another account, or to merge accounts - all downloads are permanently associated with the account that has downloaded (if only this account can potentially re-download purchases, downloads of updates of its applications, authorize such purchases on iTunes from the computer, and make in-app purchases in them).

  • Two Apple ID and...

    I have two Apple ID, even if I only want to use a. I get repeated requests to connect to my account (main/desirable), but the password (that I've reset) is not accepted. I am trying to connect it to iTunes and get this message: there is a problem of billing with a previous purchase. Please enter a different type of payment.

    I can't get into another type of payment because I can not connect! Maddening! I tried to solve the problem on my iPhone 5 instead of my computer, but no luck. Help, please!

    You have two problems.

    First, go to the Apple web page at the following address:

    Manage your Apple - official Apple Support ID

    From there, you will be able to edit or delete your account information. You should be able to view your billing on this page information.

    Then, delete the unused account.

  • I have two Apple ID. How can I get rid of one?

    I have two Apple ID. How can I get rid of one?

    Hello Terri108,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I understand your message that you have two Apple ID and want to get rid of one. First of all, any purchase that you have made with your ID first Apple won't be available on the second Apple ID and vice versa. If you only want to use an Apple ID, you must choose them and then purchase and download all the apps the other Apple ID that you choose.

    You could also do for the two the same Apple ID passwords. In this way all the apps you have downloaded to your devices can be updated, and you do not have to remember to separate the 2 passwords.

    Best regards
