Hi there,

I have moved away from Homekitty (does not seem to be maintained) to the **HP HomeKit** (beta) integration.

I cannot seem to control my Ikea PRAKTLYSING curtain from the apple Home app.  
It shows in Apple Home as a curtain.  
The status if it is open or closed (and how much) is shown as it should.

However, If I try to open or close the curtain from Apple Home, nothing happens. The Apple Home app shows the the change, but homey does not, ans the curtain does not move.

The curtain is controllable from my HP23.

Is this a known bug?

Thanks.

I’m curious how you came to that conclusion?

In the app’s topic, the last comment by Robert was Feb 18th.?  
And I don’t see a question by you about the app’s status:

> HomeKitty (AKA HomeyKit 3.0) HomeKitty is an almost complete rewrite of HomeyKit and serves the same purpose: expose your Homey devices to HomeKit so you can control them using iOS, Siri and Shortcuts. Attention Homey Pro 2023 users! You need at least version 2.0.0 of HomeKitty. Right now, those versions are available as test (see below). Current version Stable: [v2.4.4](https://homey.app/a/name.klep.homekitty/) Test: [v2.5.3](https://homey.app/a/name.klep.homekitty/test/) You should be able to run it next to HomeyKit without getting in the way.
