@notsowokeshow @tim_cook Besides Apple News, Apple Pay, and Apple Books (limited to public domain), other services unavailable in India include Apple Fitness+, Apple Card, Apple Pay Later, and certain HomeKit features. These restrictions often stem from local regulations.

@NickSheisty yep. my whole house is on apple. smart security cams, apple tv, smart this smart that, every apple device and service under the sun i do not think there is a perfectly innocent giant tech company nowadays but i had to pick one. it works better if everything is homekit compatible

@realDareGames @MacRumors HomeKit issues were pretty common, as was the screenshot bug. The Apple Intelligence issue was universal.

@tweethue My Hue Bridge has the known HomeKit/Matter command endpoint issue and no ‘Reset Bridge Software’ option. Need UK replacement. Case details ready. No response to WhatsApp support request

Nanoleaf's firmware for their Essentials line is horrible Constant HomeKit connectivity issues

@UTgoHorns @ecobeeStatus They've had issues a lot of times in the past. They really need a local API for their devices for this sort of cloud outage - app can connect over local network. Don't know why they don't do it. There has to be something there for Homekit to work.

I need @Apple to fix their Homekit connection issues. No reason that I should repeatedly have “no response” from my multiple hubs

I’ve been losing my mind over home security cams for a month now. Last week I purchased Eufy cams, but then saw the subreddit about the issues. I wanted Apple HomeKit integration though. Doorbell wouldn’t connect to WiFi. I returned the system for Blink which is on sale.

@nycdj4eva Unfortunately there are zero options that are wireless and use HomeKit secure video.But the Arlo doorbell can be used in HomeKit (with the Arlo bridge) and is completely wireless.

@Malone_Wealth I think home automation, heated floors, heat pump, solar + battery, automated blinds, and gardens are underrated. They pay for themselves many times over and increase comfort + security. In the North East we lost power 4+ times a year. Homekit can simplify maintenance+safety

I don’t have aeroplane mode on because my house isn’t a plane. ✈️ Bluetooth is enabled for the app. The app secures a connection but HomeKit doesn’t. After the app connects about 15 minutes later it says offline and you have to reset it again.

@9to5mac @bzamayo and security is no issue bc allegedly everything is already implemented in a secure way, like they do with homekit accessories!

@WEMO All the non thread switches are now working and the thread models I am able to scan the HomeKit code are working now. I have 3 WSP100 switches that have the NFC tap logo on the sticker that are giving me problems. Who do I DM?

The @apple home app has to be the worst Apple app. After every power cut the only thing to still work is Nanoleaf lighting, every other thread or HomeKit compatible device either has to be reset or readded.

Why choose #HomeKit over other smart home systems? ✅ Seamless integration with Apple devices ✅ Strong privacy protections (data stays on your device) ✅ Works locally, no internet required for most devices Your smart home, smarter. ?? #TechTips #SmartHome

Product issue: reconnect the weather station with homekit its impossible. Support issue: Support form gives you an error using serial numbers of netatmo products (3 different products ??)

@CryptoJordin For HomeKit cameras flipping on/off network, try power cycling camera and router, checking Wi-Fi signal strength, and ensuring camera firmware is up-to-date.

@PJ10_3000 @choehau_alen Some Siri actions require an internet connection (like, say, turning on HomeKit devices), but a lot of commands work offline.

@TCL_USA Jusy bought a C5 Series 55” w/Google TV. System prompted me to set up AirPlay/Homekit. When I do, I get an Error Code: 1003. Please advise. Thanks.

Are you using some HomeKit accessoires only during the holidays and then disconnect them; Hide them from the home view and disable the status to avoid seeing annoying “This accessory is not responding” messages. #homekit #homekithelpdesk

@aggarwal_nitin1 @EufyOfficial I managed to fix this issue. Just had to take them out of the Eufy app and HomeKit and reset them up and haven’t had an issue since. I would recommend getting the newer ones that work on 5ghz and have slightly higher resolution. I have the older ones.

@9to5mac Re: rumoured Apple Camera, currently Starling Home Hub integrates Google Nest devices, including cameras, with Apple HomeKit including HomeKit secure video recording. Not Apple cameras but works flawlessly and available now. I’ve no connection to Starling, just a user.

nusairat

It kind of sad for #Apple #homekit I have a few of the expensive @Logitech cameras and have had soo many issues with them. But the cheap amazon @eufy Anker type cameras work 100% of the time.

@AppleSupport why have my HomeKit devices started to randomly disconnect and become unavailable since updates recent updates. Absolutely head wrecking.
