1. **The app “HomeyKit”** by Robert Klep, last update: more then 2years ago, version 3.0.16 or…

2. **Homey experimental function “Apple HomeKit”** by Athom B.V. Version 7.15 (latest version)

Or are the other and better apps, solutions to do this?

You can also install the test version of Homeykit, which is only 3 months old: [HomeyKit | Homey](https://homey.app/a/com.swttt.homekit/test)

As for which version you should use, why not just try out all of them for a bit to see which one works best for you.

I use HomeyKit, which works fine. Except when sometimes all devices are in the [default](https://community.homey.app/t/homeykit-devices-dont-stay-in-their-rooms/53477) room. I didn’t release it was so long not updated.  
I like the fact that you can choose which devices you push to HomeKit.  
I never tried the Homey (forever experimental) solution.

Perhaps a good idea to share users of both solution their experiences.
