I have a Homekit matter/thread environment more or less working with three HomePod mini’s and one AppleTV4k which are fighting for being “THE Home Hub” (and thus creating a lot of fuzz; they switch every now and then). Can I set up the Homey Pro (early 2023) to be the undisputed Home Hub and the Ap…

Hmmmm not sure, Erik. The whole point of Matter was something like: any Matter controller / hub should be able to control paired Matter devices? Don’t shoot me if I’m wrong :wink: :wink:

Homey can’t provide the HomeKit functionality that an Apple hub device can if you meant as a HK hub. If you meant for Matter I’m not sure.

Homey isn’t a HomeKit hub, it’s a HomeKit bridge: it provides access to devices through the HomeKit protocol. HomeKit hub functionality can only be provided by (certain) Apple devices, and there isn’t a way to assign one to be the primary hub with the others being secondary in some way.

HI, First of all, thanks for the replies, they all contribute to my questions. To make things clear(er…:-): I am not stuck to HomeKit. I like the flows etc of Homey way more than the very simplistic functionality of HomeKit.I would be more than happy to “use” Homey for my total home automation …

How do you connect multiple apple accounts using the Apple Homekit Experimental Feature so they all can see and controll the Homey devices. So far i can either use it for my wife, or for myself, but not both… I let my wife use Apple Home, however to be fair in daily operational use, the Home app s…

There’s an app called HomeKitty, it might have more options? You can ask here in the app topic: [image] [App][Pro] HomeKitty grinning_cat_with_smiling_eyes (aka HomeyKit 3.0) Apps HomeKitty (AKA HomeyKit 3.0) HomeKitty is an almost complete rewrite of HomeyKit …

Both the Experiment and HomeKitty use the same underlying HomeKit library. If it’s not possible with the Experiment, I don’t think it’s possible with HomeKitty either. I never looked into this because I’m the only one at home that uses HomeKit.

So the issue is that when you generate a new code for the second iPhone to pair, the devices in the Home app of first iPhone will go to “Device not found” It is not possible to pair 2 iPhones with the same code, because it seems the Homey goes out of discovery mode if one iPhone uses the code. I a…

Maybe not quite the answer you were looking for. But have paired Homey with HomeKit and everyone in the family can use HomeKit. So the solution is to create a family in the ICloud environment where you share the house.

this requires the apple TV right? (or other apple hub)
