I just discovered that currently all automations with these door sensors are handled by Homey Advanced Flows instead of HomeKit automations, so I installed HomeKitty (stable).

Despite running iOS 16.2 (RC) on my iPhone and iPadOS 16.2 (RC) on my iPad, I did not get the HomeKit architecture upgrade offered.

I probably need to wait for the final 16.2 update for my HomePod & Apple TV (which are my HomeKit hubs)?

I can also confirm that this kind of sensor works fine with HomeKitty!

Hi Robert, will HomeyKit work with the official ios 16.2 release?

The current test version of HomeyKit works with the 16.2 prereleases so I assume it will also work with the official release.

Ok, then i will upgrade my Ios devices to the latest official release.

Migration to HomeKitty is planned over New Year.

Thank you for great work:)

It seems that it does not work with iOS 17 beta 1 - is it known?

What do you mean by “it”? There are three HomeKit implementations for Homey: the built-in “experiment”, the (now deprecated) HomeyKit app, and the HomeKitty app.
