Hi there, I have family living in Belarus, and would like to provide them with an easy way to measure/view environmental radiation. I have a setup for doing this: Sensor: DF Robot Geiger Counter SEN0463 Microcontroller: ESP32 HomeKit app: homekit-geiger-counter using HomeControl Result: I can add the Accessory to the Apple Home app, but it reports it as Not Supported. Would anyone at Apple be able to add two UUIDs so it is supported in the Apple Home app? Service UUID of type GeigerCounter Characteristic UUID of type Radiation I've linked to the code where I made up two UUIDs to test with. Then it'd be great to be able to display: CPM - counts per minute µSv/h - Microsieverts per hour Cheers, Simon. Cross-posted to Apple Feedback

I recently bought some smart outlets and nfc chips so that when I tap my phone to them my lights turn on. Although when I go to set up the automation on shortcuts it doesn’t work. I’m setting it up as “When NFC chip is scanned” ”If Outlet is On/Off” Then there is no option to change it. It just detects if it’s on or not and I can’t seem to find a way to have it detect it then change it.

Very recently my Apple TV started pausing anytime I turn off [HomeKit] connected lights in my house using Siri. It happens every time I tell Siri to turn off a light - whether using Siri on my HomePod, Apple Watch, or iPhone. I'm using the most current operating systems for all devices. It happens every time - no matter which light or lights I control. I have Hue lights and Sengled lights - both are affected the same way. Very very very frustrating. Any suggestions on how to solve this?

Hello, I am unable to pair an iPhone with an test device from the HomeKit Accessory Simulator (HAS). I always get the contentless error message: "Unable to Add Accessory. An unknown error occurred." Things I checked: HAS is running on MacBook Pro newest version of macOS, all other apps are also up-to-date MacBook Pro is in the same network as the iPhone iPhone is also up-to-date, bluetooth is activated How can I resolve this problem or how can I even get some more useful information about what is causing the error? Something like a debug console on the iPhone or stuff like that. The console within HAS shows only messages for successful pairings. The failed pairing attempt doesn't show up. Thanks for your help.

I found this coding in my data analytics: “Thread 3 name: Dispatch queue: com.apple.HomeKit.HMDCloudSettings.clientQueue.4404313360” I have never used HomeKit it was under “Homed - date.ips” in data does anyone know what HMD means or what client queue refers to? Can this relate to a Mac device??? any information would help me. Looking into security/privacy situation. thanks

Hello,I have a question about having two apple Tvs acting as homekit hubs. One of them is showing status as 'connected' and the other one is in Standby. I assume that the one on styandby can still be used by HomeKit Bluetooth devices to signal correct? if so, and both appleTvs are un range, how does the system decide what hyb processes the signal? additionally, what exactly is the differnece between connected and standby? I would like to understand better the standby status. What is what the hub can and cannot do while on standby.Thanks in advance!!

hi there, i've just started digging into developing for HomeKit, so it's quite possible i'm missing something (or this is expected?), but calling addAndSetupAccessories always fails instantly (no UI appears) when running in the simulator. the error is: addAndSetupAccessories got error Optional(Error Domain=HMErrorDomain Code=79 "Failed to add the accessory." UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Failed to add the accessory.}) i'm running the HomeKit simulator with a home created + one standard lightbulb accessory added. if i run on device it works as expected (using my real homekit accessories) xcode: Version 12.0 beta 4 (12A8179i) homekit accessory simulator: Version 4.0 (135.3)

I have to cases, one with netatmo Home coach, one with Tado Smart AC Control, where I'cant use my homekit code. The Homekit feedback is "accessory already added" and reset the accessory. But no way with reseting, I get the same Error: it is like a ghost homekit code. How can I reuse my accessory on Home ? It is not possible to delete the home account because it has more than a hundred accessories!

I've recently come across HAS and I wondered if there is any possible way to get the new HomeKey into my wallet? James

I have opened the view for sharing invitation to share home for Home Kit. After that I had attached one iCloud email and when I am trying to remove it that time I got crashed. Page is apple's default view. The root cause of the crash is "malloc: Heap corruption detected, the free list is damaged at 0x2836feb80 *** Incorrect guard value: 4649808285585637376".

Hi colleagues, I am developing a water level sensor, which is quite simple and already working. The problem arises when I try to connect it to the Homekit. I attempted to find an appropriate service/characteristic to report the water level to the homekit and cannot find any yet. Found this https://developer.apple.com/documentation/homekit/hmcharacteristictypewaterlevel but as I see from the examples and description, it works with humidity services only. The question is, what is appropriate way to integrate water tank level sensor to the homekit? Which service/characteristic shall I use? This is my first experience with homekit, so any advices are greatly appreciated. Thank you!

HomeKit camera not work in different networks but the same geolocation. Look screenshot: Case 1 - live streaming not working from camera Case 2 - live streaming working from camera The problem is that the homkit adds "Apple TV home" and "HomePod home" in the home centers to the "Garage" house and makes "Apple TV home" the main home center, but these local networks are not connected in any way, and as soon as "Apple TV home" becomes the home center, it stops streaming live video. How to fix it?

Hello, Is it possible to link to homekit from a cloud server that has communication with our customer devices or does it have to be a physical device that does the connection?

I'm following the instructions for the following sample code: Configuring a Home Automation Device. I am testing it against the GarageOpener created in the HAS. The app runs fine in an iPhone 11 emulator (asks for permission, asks to create a home), but when I try to add an accessory (click on + button), I get the following error: AccessoryUI[17193:16798598] [HMHomeManager] [A81090A5-0F80-479F-9DD6-C282D48F16D6] Failed to receive accessory setup response payload: Error Domain=HMErrorDomain Code=-1 "(null)" Error Domain=HMErrorDomain Code=-1 "Unexpected error." UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Unexpected error.} I have signed in into the iPhone emulator with my apple ID. Must be a pilot error, but no clue what I am doing wrong to make this work against an accessory created in HAS. Thanks!
