Good morning.
Iâve first got homey just to bridge devices into HomeKit. Now itâs more interesting to try homey and just âshowâ devices in HomeKit. First I tried âexperimentsâ And I must say most of the devices went smooth.
Then I tried homekitty and that was even better from the beginning.
After just a few hours I noticed that devices was showing the wrong state in HomeKit. Also my tado air conditioner showed a different temperature
So to be clear, devices from homey experiment are showing the correct state (devices that are On is shown as On, and Off as Off) but the exact same devices at the same time from homekitty are many (not all devices) showing On when they are Off.
is this a bug still? Or has it to do with anything else?
Can I do something to get better result?
It might caused by running both the experiment and HomeKitty simultaneously or, if you have any, one or more of your home hubs (Apple TV, HomePod) are causing problems (usually fixed by rebooting them).
Yes youâre probably right about running both experiment and homekitty. Do I have to remove the experiment totally, or can I just exclude devices from HomeKit from experiment? And what about Tado? How the temperature be 2 degrees wrong ( the difference is between what says on the display/tado app/ HomeKit - and homekitty)
I really would like that one to work. HomeKit finds it difficult to activate the same device that triggers it. Ex. If temp on Tado goes below 19,5- turn on heat on Tado to 22 degrees.
As for showing a wrong temperature: thatâs probably because itâs not being updated. HomeKitty only passes Homey data to Home, it doesnât change it.
Hi! Just got my Homey Pro 2023 and aim to use Homekit as the âcontrollerâ for the rest of the family. Seems like a great app. I canât seem to get my Sonos system to work though (Beam and One). They appear in my Homekit app, but it is displayed as âNot supportedâ right under accessory name. Tried searching for issues with Sonos in this thread, but could not find any.
That template will ask for information that I need to debug the issue. But be aware that speaker support in Homey (and therefore HomeKitty) is limited.
So I am a grateful user of the homekitty app and it was working very well ( or actually is working )
So I am running v2.2.7 on a HP2023 with multiple Apple devices with IOS 17.x.x and just upgraded the HomeKit architecture⌠and thatâs the problem because I was not using an Apple TV or HomePod. And canât share my devices with anyone in my home.
I already did downgrade my HomeKit architecture and reset and re connected the homekitty app. It works for 1 device now ( the adminâs device)
Everyone was using the Apple app as primary app for controlling switches and stuff, so it is quite inconvenient it not longer works for everyone.
Are there people with the same problems, and maybe solutions?
I donât know what is going on but all of my Homekitty devices are âunreachableâ since this morning. Not sure if iOS 17.2 has anything to do with it.
Restart of the app and Homey doesnât do anything.
Thereâs nothing inherent to 17.2 that causes HomeKitty to stop working, itâs still working fine for me. Devices being unreachable pretty much always a local issue.
That is good to hear. iOS 17.2 did some weird things here, certain hubs are unreachable, Siri is being a bigger bitch than ever.
I think Iâll delete the Homekitty hub and reconnect it to my home app then.
When Homey updates itself, it seems HomeyKit will suddenly âdieâ (for lack of a better word), and the HomeKitty app will have to be restarted. After restarting, all my devices seem to be recognized as new devices in HomeKit and they have to be added to the Scenes/Automation again.
It happened to me twice, the first one was to 10.0.3, and yesterday was to 10.0.4.
It sounds like you need to configure the âDelay after rebootâ option in the app configuration:
Especially with older Homeyâs it takes a while after a reboot for all devices to be configured, and the method that HomeKitty is using to wait for that doesnât always work. I would suggest using a minimum of 300 seconds (5 minutes).
