Whether you have a dumb TV or a smart TV, chances are that it doesn’t natively support HomeKit. However, you don’t need to go out and buy a new TV set as you can add support with a TV box. Thread is truly a game-changer for HomeKit and the smart home. With Thread, you no longer have to worry about managing dedicated hubs or accounts for every device in your home with its direct to HomePod mini — and HomeKit connection. More importantly, with lightning-fast response times and excellent reliability, you don't have to worry about your smart home suddenly losing its smarts. Open ‘Settings‘ app > Tap your Apple ID at the top > Tap ‘iCloud’ > Scroll down to ‘Keychain’ > Enable. There are both wired and battery-powered devices, however, only the wired doorbell currently supports HomeKit. Keep in mind that it still doesn’t support HomeKit Secure Video, however, there aren’t any video doorbells in the UK that support this just yet. For instance, you can create a HomeKit automation to turn on your living room lights when the front door is opened after 7 p.m. This can be especially helpful if you’re coming home after dark, as you won’t have to fumble around for a light switch. You can also set it to turn on lights in your master bedroom if a window is opened after a certain time, etc. Think about the number of teen movies where people sneak in and out of houses to get into trouble that would be avoided with devices like this! Installation process

The Thread support on this device means that it’s going to work incredibly well with HomeKit, ensuring that you get instant alerts when doors or windows are opened. Plus, with up to one year of standby time, you won’t have to worry about constantly replacing batteries or monitoring the device. Having an action continue UNTIL something happens or WHILE a condition is true can also be achieved with a dummy switch and multiple triggers. The process is very similar to creating a delay action. It could look something like this:Here is a good example of more complex logic using multiple automations that was also featured on LeadsRating.com. I have an outdoor water feature that is fully automated through presence and time conditions via an Eve Energy smart plug. This works well as it only turns it on during the day when someone is home and turns it off as required. Scheduled Time, which is limited to Time of Day and Day of Week rather than allowing specific dates. All of the apps expose the same functionality, either being able to enter a specific time of day (hour and minute) as well as the days of the week that it will trigger, or a Sunrise/Sunset value along with an offset time before or after that. This allows HomeKit to calculate the correct trigger time based on your location and time of year. As an aside there are few ways to hook IFTTT into HomeKit, Homebridge being one of them, but I’m using the awesome Pushcut app for this. It’s not free, but it’s a lot simpler and adds a bunch of other automation capabilities.

Choose a trigger: The first step in building a HomeKit automation with the Onvis CT3 is to choose it a trigger. Go to the Home app, look for the + button, tap on “add automation.” Then tap on “a sensor detects something.” Now you’ll want to look for the sensor. For instance, let’s look at the Wemo Bridge. It links the Home app and the Belkin Wemo brand, increasing compatibility between devices such as the Wemo Switch, Insight Smart Plug, LightSwitch, and Dimmer. Pull the battery tab: The sensor is powered by a CR2450, and you’ll want to pull the battery tab out of the large part of the sensor to activate it.Lifx A19 LED Bulbs are another great HomeKit-compatible option. Delivering 1,100 lumens, they’re about as bright as a 75-watt incandescent bulb. However, they’re energy-efficient at only 11 watts, and they have a 22-year lifespan. With 16 million color options and no hub required, Lifx A19s offers a lot in a compact-sized bulb, including the Candle Color, the first smart LED bulb that can emit multiple colors of light at once. The bottom line is that if your VS1 sensor(s) are close enough to your Apple TV or HomePod, you’re going to get reasonably comparable performance to Zigbee for much of the time, although as already mentioned, Bluetooth does seem to hibernate after a period of inactivity, and can be slow to initially respond, which isn’t great if you’re relying on a porch light to come on when you open a door. Each sensor can be named after a corresponding door or window so you will know immediately where to look for threats.

Meross have two smart plugs, one of them has the Apple-certified chip inside that allows it to connect to HomeKit, make sure you choose the correct plug when purchasing. Besides monitoring the status of Eve Door & Window, the Eve app also lets you add the sensor to a wide variety of automations. For example, the sensor could trigger a lighting scene and tee up your favorite music playlist when you walk in the door, and you could set the automation so it would only run, say, on weekday evenings, right around when you typically get home from work. Another option would be to make the sensor dial down your air conditioning or heating when a window is opened, or to change the color of a light to warn you that the sensor had been tripped. Each automation allows you to add one or more triggers, conditions, and resulting scenes. One of the best features of the Onvis CT3 door/window sensor is its ability to integrate with other HomeKit-enabled accessories to create powerful automations. Here’s how to get started building automations using this device: We can use some kludges to achieve these results and I’ve touched on these a bit so far, such as the use of dummy buttons and Shortcuts. Still, it is here that we start to run into hard limitations for the time being.

Remotes

Well, its encryption occurs between the devices on your wifi, rather than in the cloud. This is why you need a HomeKit hub to control devices when you’re away from home, because the hub will encrypt your data before it ever gets sent to Apple’s cloud. This means data won’t be exposed to even Apple employees. Select an accessory from the list. The accessories available will depend on which trigger option you use. Being able to control your smart home using your voice is awesome, but it’s not always the most convenient. Especially if you have guests around that don’t know the commands, or you don’t want to make noise at night. You can either manually activate Siri, or say “Hey Siri”, followed by one of the following examples:
