I have a question that I hope there is a ā€œgood answerā€ to: I am migrating from a 2019 to 2023 Homey Pro, and I expose most of the connected devices to Apple Home using HomeKitty. Is there any chance that they will be working as is in Apple Home after the migration, or must I set up the 2023 HP as a new hub and then fix all the devices? ---

Assume it wonā€™t work and you have to set things up again. ---

I will receive my Homey Pro tomorrow and Iā€™ve been reading about the different types of HK integrations. Is HomeKitty still (December 2024) the best / preferred way compared to the experimental feature ? ---

Hi, Iā€™m experiencing an issue with the SONOFF Thermostat TRVZB. It appears in HomeKit, but not as a thermostatā€”it only displays the room temperature. Has anyone encountered this problem or have any suggestions to fix it? Thanks in advance! ---

Hi, I just installed HomeKitty. Thanks for all the effort you put in this app! I was hoping I could start a shortcut using a FlowStarter device. But the only automation options I see in my Home app are for starting scenes or operating other Home devices. Am I missing something within the Home app? Is it possible to start a shortcut when the FlowStarter device is pressed in a Homey flow? ---

Remote access only works if you have Home Hub devices (like an Apple TV or HomePod), thatā€™s how the HomeKit protocol works. HomeKitty itself doesnā€™t deal with any of that. ---

Hello, Iā€™m trying to add a **driveway gate** to **HomeKit** , which I control using **SwitchBot** (it physically presses a button on the remote). I want to create a virtual device in **Device Capabilities** and then sync it with **HomeKit** , hoping that it will recognize the gate as a proper gate or garage door and **display it on CarPlay**. Iā€™m not sure if this will work, but I canā€™t figure out what **parameters HomeKitty** needs to pass the device as a garage door or gate in HomeKit. Can anyone help me? ---

> [@Gust0](#): > > but I canā€™t figure out what **parameters HomeKitty** needs to pass the device as a garage door or gate in HomeKit. For a garage door it requires a device of class `garagedoor` that has the capability `garagedoor_closed` (and optionally the capability `alarm_generic` to flag an obstruction has been detected). ---

Thank you! I tried your configuration, adding garagedoor\_closed both as a Yes/No field and as a Button (assuming that HomeKitty ignores unsupported capabilities), but unfortunately, HomeKitty still says itā€™s unsupported. > **Screenshots** > > ![IMG_9535](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/a/2abd78271ab77296b923eb5c3d2915f13ec0986c.jpeg) > ![IMG_9534](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/5/55ec052ed5411a02bacc2f81356543bdcf999728.jpeg) ---

Find the device here: [Homey Developer Tools](https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/devices) And make a screenshot of the capabilities for it. Perhaps AVD doesnā€™t make the correct ones.
