I recently purchased a small studio flat and thought that it is the perfect place to make a smart home since I will only need to control a few things....

Since upgrading to iOS/tvOS/HomePodOS 17.2, my HomeKit stuff has been SO unstable where every day since 17.2 came out I have been putting out fires and rebooting devices. Even devices that are usually very solid. A couple of times I have even had to do full resets of a device and re-add it to my home when rebooting didn’t...

Hiya,...

Hopefully these scenarios are common, and therefore easy to resolve…...

If I add an IR device (fan, tv etc) via the G3 hub, does that device bridge over to the home app?

I will highly appreciate any recommendations you might have to spot the occasional hedgehog roaming our small garden....

I was looking to buy some stuff and noticed the “sale” price is the regular historical price. Stay safe

This is what happens when one of my HomePods takes over as the main hub.

The most anticipated feature over the original is obviously Matter/Thread support, however, the website boasts some cool new other features such as: a flat magnet option, 5-year battery life, adjustable sensitivity, and tamper alarm....

Anyone have hands on experience with a reputable weather station? I’ve used Ambient Weather hardware in the past but wonder if there’s something similar that would be available in HomeKit.

Seems Eve has a new owner. Not sure how this will turn out.

Does anyone else have an issue with HSV ending the recording before the motion that triggered the recording has left the frame? All four of our cameras do this and it drives us crazy....
