Connect to Apple Home - for Matter

Homey Self-Hosted Server

I cannot connect to my Apple Home. I believe that you would need that in order to connect to matter devices.

I need to enable the Apple Home experiment? But that is not available in the app. Is that by design or am I missing something?

You’re confusing various things. What are you actually trying to accomplish?

There’s a major difference on which tool is used for adding Matter-over-Thread devices:

  • Connect via Homey Pro using my.homey.app:
    This option is advised for most users, as it always uses Homey Pro’s own Thread network.

  • Connect via Android/iOS: This option uses the mobile device’s configured Thread network to connect to the Matter device.

  • For iOS users, this requires having a Thread Border Router active on your iOS device. Currently, Homey Pro’s Thread network cannot be added to iOS. So, a third-party Thread Border Router (e.g. Apple HomePod) is required.
